Hi, I wanted to share this recording as an example of the sound of my Ultra S-10. I am loving the sound it has in the studio. I've had a lot of compliments in the studio as to the fact that the guitar just stays in tune so well and the cab drop is minimal. Its probably a fair example of minimalistic playing as I've seen discussed on the forum. The song definitely did not lend itself to any busy playing.

Really well done.

Great tone and your playing was spot on.

I did some recording with my wife's GFI Expo S-10 about a year ago. I needed to track one song and my Franklin was loaded for a gig. I used the GFI (with a GFI II pickup) direct through a D.I. box to my MOTU recording interface unit. The track sounded as good as the other tracks with the Franklin.

The S-10 Expo was swapped and we now have a D-10 Ultra.

Thanks guys. I do enjoy that guitar Jack. It has the GFI-II as well. Just a joy to play. The guitar was run direct to a tube preamp (can’t remember the make) into the board.

I’ll try and post some other recordings w the GFI and my ole ‘Bud.
Thanks again. EO

Hi - most of the other tunes I used on recent recordings have not been final mixed or have yet to be released so I thought I’d throw one out there using my Sho Bud. Love that guitar too. Just a different beast but a great guitar as well. Another artist out of VT that I was lucky enough to play for. Ben Fuller. Again Mr McCaffreys excellent production and musicianship. Eric
