Neko Case on her tenor guitar collection: Fretboard Journal #2 cover story (Summer 2006)

Great article!

(Man, I want that '67 tenor SG Special with the whammy bar...badly! )

Thanks, Ed! I used to have that issue -- sold it for what seemed like a healthy profit at the time -- but have since regretted not being able to reread the article about Neko's guitars. And was thinking about that SG tenor just yesterday!

Awesome read - thanks for that link Ed!

Cheers,

Nice bit of investigative journalism there, Charley. That clip was uploaded five years ago by someone who has only uploaded this one. Wonder what if anything that means. Also wanted to point out her backup singer, Kelly Hogan, a friend of hers and a fine singer-songwriter in her own right. I learned about them about the same time, 2000 I think (pivotal moment, eh?) - Kelly Hogan & The Pine Valley Cosmonauts – "Beneath the Country Underdog" and Neko Case – "Furnace Room Lullaby," hipped to there being some great alt-country operating far out of the mainstream - record label in Chicago. Here's her take on The Magnetic Fields' "Papa Was a Rodeo." (Oh, almost forgot - thanks, Ed! )

Redhead + tenor guitar = Love

I want that SG!
Thanks for the link.

To paraphrase Richard Tohmpson, " Red hair and a white SG tenor, my favorite color scheme...."

I love Sound Opinions, and even moreso after hearing this interview with Neko...
She mentions how her love of tenors came about...
Interesting listen...

More than ten years ago.. Rauhouse in full effect.. Horrible phone recording, but at least you get to see the tenors:



Love it when she first starts singing. Even though I've grown tired of the reverb, I still love to listen to her voice..

ps I also love it when the woman next to the fanboy doing the taping tells him to STFU.
