Natalie Merchant Guitarist

[CatStrangler]

uhhhh, showing my age. Does anyone know if this is a CE or Custom? sounds like a maple neck, but hard to say. I really dig the tones from this album.

 

[El Fenix]

The guitar work on Carnival was also fantastic.

Hey buddy! Great to hear from you again.

Custom 22 IIRC.

 

[CatStrangler]

Holy Schlit! @sergiodeblanc showed up I never owned a Cu22, and now have a very strong feeling in my loins..how is the white whale? I feel the Cu22 might be even better as a standard. Very Helpful Serge!

Agreed. Wonder and Carnival are the best tones and work on the album

It’s still rockin’ my world, Phil! I keep buying other guitars but everything sucks in comparison.

Fer sure a Standard 22 would be better, too bad they don’t make ‘em anymore.

The guitar work and the entire Tiger Lilly album was outstanding. Still pull it out for a listen from time to time.

Natalie is from not far from where I live. (An hour or so). I did some engineering work for a former friend at the same studio she used to record at in Jamestown NY when she was with 10000 Maniacs..

Natalie and her band at that time were just awesome. Tigerlily is a desert island album for me. Saw her front row in Anchorage and she gave me a lily which is still pressed in a dictionary on my shelf. Jennifer Turner was the guitarist on the album and I agree the sounds are awesome. Gabriel Gordon did most of the tour (I think) and that dude was awesome as well.

Custom.... I remember seeing her performing back in the 90's and she had a 2nd one (spare) on a guitar stand near her amp.

Yeah.... I like getting old
