Just wanted to show where I put My Seymour Duncan "Bob Benedetto" jazz guitar pu.One On My DA,the other on My "Heritage Golden Eagle".What Great sounds.I was a Benedetto Endorsee/pre Fender/Benedetto,and have one of Bob's Endorsed guitars,made by him,not the Fender Custom Shop.I must admit that the Fender Custom Shop is turning out good instruments,better than their regular ones. I am clicking on manage attachments,and it won't open to attach the jpeg.Anyone know why?

Sometimes the forum can get a little slow, or more likely, your internet connection had a temporary slow down. I would suggest trying again in a few minutes (it might even work now).

If that doesn't work, you've got me beat.
 
Re: My Original John D'Angelico jazz guitar attached

The Manage Attachments will not work,So I can't show you the jpeg of my guitar,The D'Angelico,created by John D'Angelico in 1947.To see My Heritage "Golden Eagle "with my Seymour Duncan "Bob Benedetto"pu go to http://www.carminedamico.com and choose Equipment,and Heritage,also there is a jpeg of The Heritage with SD'S Benedtto pu right there.Why does'nt the "manage attachments" button work?Thanks for hanging in there,

Wow, that thing's really 59 years old? It looks brand new.
 
Re: My Original John D'Angelico jazz guitar attached

firebirdV,Yes it's 59 years old.I keep my guitars in Top shape.Thanks for the compliment.By the way the Seymour Duncan pu's on both guitars(Bob Benedetto/Duncan jazz pu)sounds fantastic.You can hear the Wood sound,not some pu dug into the body of the Jazz Guitar.To hear a piece of My D'Angelico,with my Seymour pu,Listen to the opening song as My Official Website opens at http://www.carminedamico.com Song clip is "You Are So Beautiful" Sincerly,
 
Re: My Original John D'Angelico jazz guitar attached

Wow! I just checked out your website Mr. D'Amico . . . your music is beautiful! I was wondering if you had the time, could you post a tutorial in the "tips and clips" section explaining how you approach the construction of a solo. I'm sure that many people here would love to be able to learn from you . . .
 
Re: My Original John D'Angelico jazz guitar attached

Now that's a guitar... Never owned one, but I've been lucky enough to play a few D'Angelico's over the years. Very nice, Carmine.
 
Re: My Original John D'Angelico jazz guitar attached

Wow! Very cool! I'll never be able to afford guitars of that caliber.

Glad to see you back as a regular around here Carmine!

Re: My Original John D'Angelico jazz guitar attached

Carmine, are you saying that 2nd pic is an original 1947 D'Angelico?
There appears to be many things altered or not correct. The f-holes are more in the later D'Aquisto 'modern' style. The body shape doesn't look quite right either. To my knowledge, D'Angelico never did fingerboard inlays that look like that. The bridge, tailpiece, and pickguard are also definately non original.
Can you post more pictures, especially a full guitar picture with the headstock in view. Also, what is the serial number? I have a copy of DA's Ledger.

seeker,gripweed,ES350,Jeffrec,GuitarStv,Guys,I am tired from recording sessions all day.Yes GuitarStv,I can do that seminar,but not here.Too much typing.To do it would take about three posts of at least 4 very long pages for each topic.I would Love to help you,and others,but I find that I am either treated Great,or Like a nuisance,and that's not your fault,nor mine .Thank you so much for enjoying my music.You made me feel wonderful to be appreciated.I am truly burnt' from 10 hours of recording today.Join My Yahoo group,It's easier,and everone is very serious about guitar,solos,jazz,blues,funk,clasical ,alternative,pop rock,hip-hop,styles,as well as arranging,composing,and their bands. etc.Go to the bottom of this page,and I would be honored to help you. seeker,yes,that is an very old D'Angelico .You are correct in saying it's not typical D'Angelico inlays,yet John did them,and the tail piece is not typical D'Angelico.It's not the Brass/gold plated job that he usually used.I met D'Angelico,when I was a little boy of 9.I have the DA ledger as well.I will get my DA from instrument cartage,they deliver my guitars to recording sessions,and get a full jpeg.Thanks for asking.D'Angelico would put his neck,on a broken Gibson neck ,just to fix it.He once repaired an old Gretsch ,and added a complete body to a Gretsch neck.He was very polite,and Yes,you have yet to see all his combo/creations.The late Jim D'Aquisto,and I were close friends.Jim serviced My DA from his shop in Greenport ,LI,NY.Jim apprenticed to John,and died from a gran mal seizure at the same age as D'Angelico,58.See Ya,

Carmine IF you ever need work done on your D'Angelico you need to contact Cris Mirabella of Mirabella guitars. www.mirabellaguitars.com, He is here on Long Island and is well known for his Knowledge of DA's and D'Aquistos. Great guitars. I would recommned searching out and putting a D'armond Super Chief pickup on that DA. It will sound awesome! That guitar deserves a vintage pickup.

I thought it didn't need to be restored? I thought you kept it in good shape since you purchased it and that it wasn't restored? Isn't that what you said? I'm confused

Also, even though you say you posted the wrong guitar picture, you also defend the inlays, the bridge and the f-holes as being authentic in your previous post, even though now they are not? I don't understand?

I am very confused. I don't own 20 guitars. But when I post a picture of a Les Paul and give details about it, I don't defend those details when asked and then all of a sudden claim that I posted a picture of a Gretch instead? Then you post a correct picture with new details and say:

I am just confused. I wanted to join your yahoo group and learn playing styles of guitar,solos,jazz,blues,funk,clasical ,alternative,pop rock,hip-hop,styles,as well as arranging,composing,and their bands , but these things concern me.
