They were great together, but I prefer Herb Ellis w OP, especially when Ray Brown rounded out the trio and there were no drums. (Nat Cole’s trio w/out drums is another favorite.) Herb and Joe were great together.

Man, that sounds phenomenal! I just found an ft 140 at a Goodwill a few hundred miles away online and bought it. Anxious for it to be delivered next week. It’s made in Japan, the serial number has only 6 digits. How do I tell what year it was manufactured? Thanks!

@@michaelbergeron6179 Thanks for your comment. I did research my FT-140 years ago, but don’t recall a way to determine by serial number how old a specific copy is. If believe I got an approximate production date based on characteristics (label…etc.). I do recall determining that mine was produced in the early 70s. Sorry brother, that’s the best I can do. There are discussions on various forums/sites that might help.

One of the best documentaries on the subject I've seen.

@jackthomas2693 6 ай бұрын

Thanks Chris. Sometimes the best docs have less flash and no CGI. I grew up around two Army Air Corp vets…my Dad (he was almost 36 when I was born) and my uncle. Watching this reminds me of many of their stories. Glad it had a positive impact on you.

Great video, love your playing. What do you think would be a reasonable price to pay for a used one in good condition? Thank you!

@jackthomas2693 7 ай бұрын

Thanks for your comment. It’s surprising what a good sound (with a little tweaking and the right strings) that one can get out of well-made “cheap” guitars. I bought this in 2018 at Earl Teat’s Music near Dover Air Base in Delaware. I paid less than $140 then. I would guess in “used good condition” you might find one (in todays economy) around the $80-100 mark. Have fun making music.

Nice! I just picked up a 77-79 FT140 at the Goodwill. It's in very good condition. Just needs adjusting. I had some John Pearse 80/20 Bluegrass strings from about 6 years ago. They are a little heavy on the wound side. I will try the Diaddario 12-53 you are using. I am sure surprized at how good a laminate backed bolt on neck sounds. It''s sweet what the years will do to the acoustics of a wood guitar!

@jackthomas2693 8 ай бұрын

Thanks Jon. The high E string sounds off on mine…and the frets are pretty worn out. The saddle is a solid ivory replacement (1976) and uncompensated. In the past I ran medium gauge strings but figure I should give the neck a rest given her age. Hope you get lots of fun out of your old Epi.

Peterson'e smile is priceless. Two genuinely sweet guys, these two. It shows. As for the music, well... Would you expect anything less than perfection from those cats ?

@curiouscurious6558 9 ай бұрын

AMAZING! So passionate, and creative, and swings at that tempo. As a piano player many years traveled a couple hours to hear Joe and Oscar, on arriving found out Oscar was not able to make the gig, Joe p[ayed solo, dissapoint to learn, but Joe was amazing

What strings are you using? I wonder how to make my MA1 sounds warmer like yours

@jackthomas2693 10 ай бұрын

The strings were at least 2 years old at the time, but they are D’Addario Phosphor Bronze Custom Lights. As you point out…they do combine with this particular guitar for a warm and mellow tone. Thanks for your comment.

Hello Mike. This may have been released under different titles. This copy was simply titled “Fighter Aces of WWII”. I picked-up my copy at a Kmart in Central Virginia back in ‘86. I grew up under family members who were Army Air Corps vets. My uncle flew a P38 in the Pacific. Still can’t shake the interest. Clarence “Bud” Anderson is still alive. 101 years old. What a great generation!

"Tom and Jerry" cartoon music. I had hoped Oscar and Joe could do more than that? But, on the other hand, why would their infantilised American audience know or demand any better?
