A couple of contrasting tunes I just recorded at home the last dew days.
The first is an old standard done in open D on my May Bell with an old beater Harmony archtop for rhythm..

Hopefully fans of Reinhardt/Grapelli aren't too horrified 
More on the greasy side, an old ZZ Top tune done on my newly Nibro'd Supro in C6. (The midi drum track is a bit dodgy in spots - everything else is me)

Caution... it ain't your dad's Hawaiian guitar 
Any and all feedback graciously appreciated

| That May Bell sounds pretty incredible, very nice tone. I like the style and approach- unusual and creative! |

It amazed me when i picked it up in the junk shop and the tone sounded so good with blackened strings. I had to pick it up. For the recording, I just miked it fairly close with an SM58, through a small mixer into a Echo Mia soundcard. That little guitar sounds huge

Hey Richard-- having both a May Bell and a Nibro'd Supro, I had to chime in to say you've got 'em both sounding real good!
Are you using a pedal to push the Supro into overdrive, or is that just guitar & amp?
Also, what tuning are you using on the May Bell?

Stephan:
I'm running the Supro through a MicroCube (set on British with the gain about halfway) and straight into the board.
The May Bell is tuned to open D.
