@S0What01 The pickup first goes into a sunrise preamp (small like a DI), then a volume pedal, then the amp. That amp is a 1965 Vibroluxe Reverb. There is a little reverb, maybe the springs, or maybe a Holy Grail pedal.
Well as always...with good equipment you don't need all that much for a great sound. The volume pedal makes a lot of sense of course to control the overall volume. Btw...no problems with feedback? I have a 1939 Gibson L7 but gave up on trying to amplify it...too much of a hassle so I only play it on the occasional acoustic gig. Yesterday I finished listening to "This Brings Us to Volume 2" ...... the guitar sound (and music of course) on there is breath taking too. Thanks. Joep van Leeuwen
very cool, wouldn't be something I'd listen to frequently but quality rears it's head in many places. perhaps surprised to hear this played on a gibson acoustic but i like the sound better than what i would expect to hear from say an L4, that's just personal preference. As a bit of a guitar nut i'm wondering what model that is. Looks like The King of Flatops size body but J45 appointments, fretmarkers and such.......anyway - thanks , enjoyed this
Great sound and playing... I think McLaughlin used a flat top with a mag pup and tube amp on "in a silent way," if I'm not mistaken. Great stuff...lots of people can play "up" and "loud" free, it takes a little more to pull it off convincingly slowly and quietly...
thanks - yes, thats the general setup for me with that band. but a good bit of the distortion you hear is coming from the cameras microphone unfortunately. I usually have a 99% clean sound with that setup.
Are you using nickel wound strings or acoustic guitar strings? What kind of pickup is that? I really love your sound. I just ordered the Zooid CD so I'm looking forward to hearing it. Very inspiring guitar playing man. Thanks.
Wow, Liberty, that's great. Is there any chance you can post more? There's so little Henry Threadgill video footage out there, and he deserves to be well represented on sites like this...
Nice stuff...thanks for posting Liberty....
Great stuff, Liberty. Glad to hear and see you're still out there playing!

thanks for the compliments! I use phosphor bronze strings, and a sunrise pickup.

Its a 1956 LG1. Not a super collectable model, but its a really nice sounding guitar. Lately I've been using a Collings 01.

Amazing sound! So the Sunrise pickup goes straight into the amp (what kind?), no reverb or anything else?
