One thing that hasn't been discussed is that there is a sonic experience of playing a guitar, the way the sound projects, the way it wraps (or doesn't) around the player, that doesn't translate into a recording. Al Pettaway's new album features any number of instruments from John Slobod, Bill Tippin, and others as well as his Rainsong. Good luck picking the Rainsong out of the bunch.
