Here's a link to my trio playing this classic Lester Young tune. Note that I'm using the Supro Delta King 12 amp, which I was encouraged to acquire by the gang on this forum. I hope you all enjoy it--
It depends on the gig. If it's an unplugged gig (a rare treasure these days), we use the manouche guitars. If it's 2 guitars & bass and amplified (as most of my gigs are), it's archtops. But recently I've been doing a lot of trio gigs with violin/guitar/upright, and on those I play the Altamira, even if it's amplified. Are you sorry you asked?!

Fun version - good for dancin' too, I'll wager.
Nice. so you guys moved over to the archtops completely?
