Steve Staples - Kay Bass Review

Hello Everyone,
Here is another real cool segment of an interview I had with Steve Staples of International Vintage Guitars in New Orleans http://www.webcorral.com/ivg_home_page.shtml
This time he gives a nice review of a Kay bass guitar. It is a copy of a Rickenbacker 4001 bass. 
One thing that I have been learning while having fun producing Authentic Guitar videos is that you do not really have to spend much money to get good instruments.
This guitar might not have the high gloss finish that you get from a new instrument, but the little bit of wear and tear gives it some real presonality.
Shucks, some people even pay to have their guitars " distressed ". Personally I do not understand that.
Here is a site that I found that is all about Kay basses and more http://www.kaybassguitar.com/
Thank you,
Rudy


 

Phil deGuy - Fanned Frets

Hello Friends,
We were in NYC this past weekend and met up with Virginia Luque. She is a fantastic classical and flamenco guitarist. Her site is www.virginialuque.com   I studied with her for a year in 2005. We have stayed in touch and get together once in a while. 
A new friend, Lubos Naprstek, was also with us. He is a master luthier. In addition to doing expert repairs he builds excellent classical guitars. His site is   www.lubosnaprstek.com
The topic of fanned fret boards came up and I told them about Phil deGruy. Phil demonstrated two of his guitars that have this kind of fret configuration for us in New Orleans this past February. Here is a video of Phil playing his classical 7 string that was modified by Ralph Novak  www.novaxguitars.com
Thank you,
Rudy
