Or is it Kyser capo buzz?

LOL, exactly what I thought. Maybe it's just bad capo placement?

Also it sounds like he's trying to imitate someone from the past. Not sure who. Pass. |

I have no clue but it has a Gibson J-185 vibe about it. It almost looks like a cross between a Gibson and a Martin. That raggy, buzzy tone is something that really works with his voice and vibe in my opinion.

It thoroughly fits the ambiance and aura the song is going for. He may have something squashed underneath the capo pad that helps achieve the effect. Thanks for turning me onto his music! Regards, Howard Emerson

The first time I heard this guy, I couldn't quite grasp what he was doing, vocally ,musically, and even the guitar...
After a few listens to some of his stuff, I think I appreciate his songs, voice and guitar for the same reasons I like guys like Tom Waits... Not everybody's cup of tea, but I think he's a talented one of a kind in a landscape littered with clones...

Plus his sound is more americana/folk/bluegrass. And it's authentic because he's from Kentucky. This Colter guy is canadian and tries to pull off the Texas vibe. Idk just seems really fake. |

I wouldn't say you had to work hard to get a guitar there though... I have a 70s Gibson that does it where the nut slots are worn out, and the frets are pitted. |

I apologize for derailing the thread - I am still happy to discover what the guitar is. Best, Jayne |

Absolutely no need to apologize Jayne. I appreciate your comments. It's a good thing when people are able to 'think outside of the box'! and, yea - what is that guitar???

I think this is the website for the brand http://vintageguitarsus.com/
I agree with Howard and think the sound of the guitar fits his voice. Also, in interviews some of his favorite music is old blues and he loves that sound so fret buzz makes sense in light of that. I really enjoy his music and think his song "The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie" is one of my favorites of his! As to being Canadian, I do not see how that has any bearing on what type of music you should or should not sing? |
