Bireli solo extra on Jazz a Vienne DVD

conrad

I wonder what guitar he used on Sara Lazarus' album. Definitely does not sound like the Hahl, but in that promo video he appears to be using something other than the VR, no? It looks like quite an old guitar, too. I see a post on youtube suggesting it's an original Selmer. Don't know about that... Michael?

Bireli used his Favino on the Lazarus album...

Probably Bireli had a very, very low action:you can hear the noise of the strings slapping on the fretboard when he hits them hard...

In general I've heard he goes with lower action these days...more like 2.5mm. On a lot of recordings his Dupont and his Favino also sound buzzy too.

Have you heard he's finally buying an original Selmer?
