Frank Vignola's tone is vastly different depending on what vignola album you're talking about.. He used to play a regular archtop... then a benedetto gypsy guitar... now another maker's instrument.... they're all vastly different in construction and tone...
Wow, 8 years old, that's insane! Yeah, Frank's tone has changed some, but it's always been good! My favorite tone of his is anything with the Benedetto gypsy jazz guitar, or his new Thorell. Both sound amazing. I saw him live at the Sheldon in St. Louis (a concert that was recorded live and became a Mel Bay DVD). It was beyond amazing!
