Yes!

Boy I thought I'd heard that Sierras were lacking in tone. I guess no one told Buddy.

Brilliant, he was truly the master!!, Thanks Chris!

Nice work! Always amazing to see a video of him I've never watched before.

And {gasp} it's keyless!

Buddy said the C neck on his Sierras were his favorite.

yes sir i like

The usual magnificent Buddy Emmons but I can't say I like the tone.

I remember one year at the ISGC he played a Sierra and I and several others commented his sound "wasn't the usual Buddy". The next year he was still endorsing Sierra but didn't use a Sierra and it was "the Buddy Emmons sound".

I was there and it sounded great to me.
The video mic and shooting location in relation to the steel also factor in.
I don't remember if there's a spongy compression on there as well.

Guys not too bad,, right?.....

Sounded great to me too Chris. I don't know if it was the same year, but he also played that guitar at the ISGC convention with Darrell McCall.

I saw hime play a bunch of TV shows at Church Street Staion with the Sierra guitars too. Great sound.

So nice to hear this set with Buddy! Thanks for sharing!
