Wonderful acoustic solo show from Jorma.
Jorma - 12/13/22 The Egg Albany NY
- Thread starter Aristera
- Start date
Jorma always brings it. Odd to see him not playing a Gibson, even though those are clearly patterned after his favored J-45/50's.
Heck, I've seen him play an Ovation, and he still sounded great.
Also looks like he likes a loudbox as his guitar monitor. Can't go wrong with one of those.

You can see the settings on the amp.
Saw them before the lockdown with Dave Mason opening. HT played really well, but I'm now convinced they aim for a really muddy sound live, which is kinda weird considering how clean they sound acoustically.
Dave, the opener, had great sound, but he had an over reliance on canned tracks and he just had a smugness to his stage presence that was annoying.
That guitar is one of David Flammang's wonderful creations, and Jorma owns two of them. I'd love to have one myself, but they're $$$$, and there's a long wait as well. He still plays the '58 Gibson J50 that he wrote most of his classics on, but you won't see any Ovations in the herd anymore. He used to call them "canoe paddles". LOL
I've been seeing him live for almost 50 years now, and have gotten to where I prefer the acoustic shows, because there's a lot more variety.
Flammangs are very nice. If you don't feel like waiting, they have a few here: https://acousticmusic.org/product-c...guitars/?filtering=1&filter_product_brand=152

I'd probably want one of the slope shoulders like Jorma has, and (first world problem, I know), I already have three that are so good that it would probably be redundant, and I'd have to sell all three of them to finance the Flammang.
