Frank Gambale plays his Cort signature acoustic

Post by Dave Bagwill » Sun Jan 22, 2017 3:38 am

You may remember Frank from the 80's - he played terrifyingly fast and loud, but always had the solid theory in the background and knew all the modes and everything else, it seems.
He also played a lot of jazz boxes and has a Frank Gambale Carvin electric that is very nice.
Times change - he has now designed an acoustic guitar built as a top of the line Cort.
Here he describes it and then plays a sweet tune on it, into a mic. The second vid is another guitarist doing a great demo and review.

And a 'list' price of around $750.00 with a nice case.
Geez it is hard to compete with that.

Yeah that's right - I'm curious about the bracing style with that bridge. It's kind of a jazzy sound rather than fullblown acoustic, so I'm wondering if they used an A frame, like Tacoma.
I really liked the sound - not better than others but for what it is.
