Here's an older live set then:Thanks for posting that set, Frosty.I'm definitely a JJN fan!
Thanks for this! I’ve been playing around with dynamics and feel in my personal playing for a while now…and yeah, I still suck and devolve into my old ham-fisted ways. But…I was inspired by the bassist from my longtime band, at first, because of the way he approached his acoustic guitar playing. He was a diehard finger picker.
JJN nails this vibe. I had little knowledge of him, until fairly recently. Thanks for sharing!

He does indeed.
Then again, he IS from Nashville TN.
Nashville ... the town where the person delivering your pizza plays bettr'n you.
Back on topic, i've been playing this little thingy a fair amount lately:
It's an MüB 'Mieza'.
Only a single pickup (Seymour Duncan SH-2n 'Jazz') 18" scale six string, but ...
it covers a fair bit of territory.

I've been reaching for these two most often lately.
They both sound excellent through that little Fishman loud box mini with its
10" extra speaker cab.
I've got the Martin in standard tuning and the Epi Es-339 in open D or D7.
So I use them for different songs.
I'll turn off the f/x on the amp and play them both through this pedalboard.
...but I only turn on the "Body Rez" pedal for the Martin. The Epi sounds better without it.
Whenever I play either of these two, I'll set it down saying, "What a great guitar."
I use the MXR dyna comp like a clean boost, and it adds sustain.
One of my SGs is on the wall out of the picture, so that's handy.
And I use my Tele to play slide in open tuning too, it sounds different than the Epi and each has their own mojo.
My Martin XC1T is a real prize. It sounds so much better than it should given what I paid for it,
I just can't get over it. It's a workhorse all right.
I'm blessed with six fine guitars and an awesome bass. And I'm very grateful.

20th Anniversary PRS. Couldn't play this with the fusion project for years. It had unpotted Duncan Antiquities - nice vintagey tone and very touch-sensitive, but they had squeal issues at even moderate volumes. Has richer sounding Bareknuckle Polymaths now. Bright, glassy neck hum, fabulous sustain from the big-yet-clear bridge. And no feedback except the good harmonic kind.

Are they actually the 61 BBs or the ones that just say 61 lead & 61 rhythm on the stickers? I bought a set of zebras for mine, but they turned out to be the older 61s, not the BB 61s. The 61s are not as good as the BB 61s. Lesson learned.

Here's the listing pics from Reverb - got 'em about 2 years ago.
They're the new-ish quick-plug PCB versions.
Never tried the older ones for comparison, but these work great in this guitar.
Stock pups were 490T&R that are now in the V.

Ok, I was wrong, I just went and looked. You have the real deal BB 61s. The ones I bought just say 61. I looked and looked for a set of zebra BB 61s and finally gave up.
Don't anybody make the mistake I did. These are garbage...

Love the honey burst on those. It’s a beauty
Love that V, I have a similar one being shipped to my local GC , it’s coming from Tulsa ..Since surgery, only this one. It's easier to play since it has 10's on it.
I should have it before the next weekend.
