Sounds like a L00 Gibson with a little compression https://youtu.be/cuxmpnIPwAY?si=sXIf8XXQOu1GhaKB

I would agree with those who said it sounds like a small guitar with dead strings… a la the posting referencing Jeff Tweedy.
His is a 1930’s 0-18 in this video clip. Jay |

That is the model that I understand Grady was known to play... I was just guessing that was what Grady used to record on El Paso. So my guess is steel strings...

Exactly, this recording could have been recorded on anything from a cheap Yamaha to an expensive Martin/Gibson of any size. With the right processors and microphones, you can dial in the sound you want regardless of which guitar you put in front and the sound on this track tells you that you are going for a modern sound, so it wouldn't matter if you used a vintage Gibson.

I diasagree strongly. They don't sound like replacement tuners to me...

Found this on Colbert, described as Spaghetti Western tone in another search writeup ?

Anyone with some decent recording experience should be able to get this sound. They have high and low pass filters on the guitar EQ, so the guitar takes up only very specific frequencies in the middle. Its also pretty clear there's some compression going on, with specific attack and release times set to give it a smoother sound. They've likely used a dynamic EQ like soothe 2 as well, and this will help smooth the transients on the guitar.

Well, since the creators of this recording probably all have telephones, I'd just call and ask how the sound was reached.
THANK YOU for this link to a very interesting set of performances. There's talent out there everywhere, but sometimes it's hard to find. |

Get a really good Parametric eq pedal and dial in the sound as sound shaping with a parametric EQ takes on another level of precise. I would say not much boost but cuts to keep a more natural un colored sound.

This guitar comes close, imo. If nothing else, a tutorial on how to play it.

It sounds to me like an all mahogany 000 or 00 size guitar that is just naturally very warm sounding, with slightly old strings on it. Part of the key of that sound is the player, his attack on the strings, and where in relation to the soundhole he is strumming. I don't feel like I hear all that much processing on the recording of that guitar, and I have heard many guitars that have that basic sound to them., especially when they have older strings on them where all the brightness, snap and sizzle has worn off of them.
Maybe you can contact him and find out what was used, or reach out to his fan base/fan club if he has one, and ask them. duff Be A Player...Not A Polisher |

I agree, duff. The question wasn't about how to get that sound during recording, mixing, or mastering. The question was about finding a guitar with that inherent sound.
Many of us seem to agree on the type of guitar that you'd want to look for to try and get a similar sound. Finding said guitar they plays good, sounds good, and fits within the budget is the hard part.

Tim,
The danger of chasing someone else's sound is that, 1) it's impossible and, 2) it's never ending. Find a guitar you love, love..... love to play and get intimate with it. Know where to strum, what strings to use, what pick (or not) to play with..... to get the sound you want. No one on any forum can tell you (as you've seen) what guitar or strings will give YOU a particular sound. You may have to learn new playing, damping, muting, picking, strumming.... techniques but, in the end, it will be a rewarding payoff. and........IT WON'T HAPPEN QUICKLY. Be content on the journey.
