Agreed, they lay it on a bit thick with the marketing hype :-) When all’s said and done, however, I find the app has met and exceeded my...

Yes, I think so too. DB

No, it has more controls than that. Bass, treble, mid, vol, master vol, gain, overdrive, reverb, pre amp out .... Mine has the 15" speaker in it....

The great Michel Petrucciani played it in B minor. There’s never been a better piano version. Michel holds the audience in his hands, the rise, the...

Got you! Me too, he had the sweetest tone. Coltrane said of Getz, “let’s face it, if we could we’d all sound like him.”

Good take. The way I see this guitar is that Julian got to work with a great company to create his absolute dream guitar. A $7,000 instrument for a...

:welcome: "Inna Gadda Davida...." We had a drummer who used to play that drum solo just out of the blue. Audiences loved, the band just considered...

Do you have a guitar that she made? I've heard very good things about her manouche jazz guitars.

maybe, but I've owned old Epi's w/unbroken Frequensators when I purchased them develop cracks while I owned them and I never use anything heavier...

hah..thought you meant this cheers ps- funny i was just listening to getz- capt.marvel...with corea, stanley clarke and tony...

also the heavy gauge high tension strings of that vintage era probably contributed to that breakage..these days strings are lighter gauged and lower...

the old ones are made of brass which isn't the strongest metal to begin with, I don't know what they're using today, could be something as weak as...

Sweet design!

yes hopefully the modern era asian made versions are less prone to breakage...and if they do, they are at least a common stock item these days..can...

The guitar likely used on Midnight Blue, an L5 with a CC

Go to the authority on all things Burrell: kenny burrel es - Gibson Custom - Gibson Brands Forums

funny you should write that Joe D...as the epi frequensator ad copy read- greater clarity....truer tone..eliminates deadspots! cheers ps- &...

Frequensators look cool and are supposedly sonically good but are unfortunately a bad design in the end. Not so much the thought of using forks...

Wow! Thanks for that Neatomic! I live up the hill from where George was born in Plainfield NJ. It was a very different time back then. Me and my son...

From the link, it appears that it can be purchased by anyone with enough money. Depending on the type, it's cyanoacrylate, some with plasticizers...

I was referring to the previous, shortlived AS style full holowbody that was in the catalog a few years ago, but sadly discontinued, presumably due...

Oh the Slaman! Gorgeous guitar, and beautiful playing Chris!

Lol I'm picturing this conversation. "Hello, folkway mu-..." "How much for the Tal?" "Oh thanks for your interest. Yes we just got a great...

Thank you Steve. You are right. A young player can save for a month or two and get a really guitar right now. I guarantee I will run out of talent...

Very nice blues feel.I like it. Jazzingly Kris

The title track was the first solo I ever learned, great album. Saw an interview with KB where he said it took him decades to learn to accept the...

good question. I just assumed it was a late '90s.

Freddy, Believe it or not, Your video's influenced me to buy this guitar. After I saw you doing your thing on yours, I thought, "If my man Fred likes...

Was it a 60’s vintage model or are they simply nuts?

Bro, If you remember, you and I were on the phone going over George's albums when I decided this is was the next song I was going to tackle. Thank...

Not a bad price really depending on your preference. In person might be fine wood shows flame.

Stock bridge: meh (I hate TOM‘s); Bigsby Bridge: string buzz while bending on some frets due to the wrong radius; Rosewood bridge: liveless...

the frequensator tailpiece came from- frequency compensator!... its designer for epi, herb sunshine said- "i got the idea from the piano,...

"Another attempt" is kinda downplaying Ibanez's commitment to guitars with appeal to the jazz community. With the new additions, there's got to be...

And certainly overpriced IMO although if it has PAF pickups, you could probably get $2k each for them alone, lol.

Yes. It’s not the one you want. The ad should sell it as a 350t which is a totally different guitar. Verzonden vanaf mijn iPad met Tapatalk

Heard back from folkway, they want $8300 USD + shipping. That's a bit out of touch with current pricing IMO...

they made 3 versions. The one in the ad is the 23.75" scale version like a byrdland.

I've bought from them and been to their shop several times. They are definitely not like an individual. Their pricing is about 1.5x the street price...

That’s a thinline 350. So a 350t. The ad is misleading. The full body ES 350 was only produced until 1956 and does not have humbuckers but P90 pups....

I’ve bought from Gruhn before. They’re the closest to an “individual” that you’ll find while still being a shop. In fact, almost all their stuff is...

as I said in my original posting...Looking for an individual selling. Not a dealer

The Ibanez Facebook page refers to them as full hollow body. Not sure whether this is reliably definitive. Somebody should volunteer to buy one to...

That poor, green JS is begging to be refinished.

Soulful!!! Sounds great.

Gruhn Guitars hows your piggy bank lookin

I practice away from the guitar in my head a lot, I hope that counts a little.

Everyone was in the zone for that record for certain. Everything from every musician's tone to choice of material to the content of everyone's solos...

Frank this sounds great! I stand corrected, it can work just fine at a slow tempo. Shades of Abercrombie here, in tone, approach, and thumb:)

I was working on Barry Greene's Joe Pass video and he has a cool riff based off of xx5766 but I will try the lick with your alternate grips. Thanks.

Bump

For some years now FedEx has been my shipper of choice.

Bump and special deal: For $3000 you will get this awesome Epi and the 06' Cordoba 55FCE that I have listed in this forum.

Hi 2B....It is a nice finish. Clearly i am biased).

Kumbaya John :peace:

Weird guitar face and all. Not much of a one and done guy... Whisper Not Take 1 and only - YouTube

Thanks, this was very enlighting story!

That’s a beautiful TF in a nice finish!

I agree with, guido5!

there has to be a block underneath the in body fixed bridge....a guitar with just that small block is usually still called a full hollow...like epi...

That's a great combination. Gorgeous sound and playing. Is your MBIV the version with just volume, bass, and treble plus 3 pos. slider switch? What...

Well I mean in general played from the bandstand. I generally do chord melody in the key that the tune is usually played in without real reference to...

The ratio of F-hole to top seems high... Just kidding...it's not a bad looking guitar, and I particularly like the woodgrain on that Artcore...

To be honest I don't know what I have at home. I thought it was CA glue--I could be wrong. I do know that in the ER and for surgery Dermabond is...

This is a really good post I've been thinking of commenting along the same lines but this really says it all. I recently bought a Collings Eastside...

Excellent playing Joe!! Like I’ve said- you make any guitar sound great. The quality of Asian imports continues to improve and you can’t beat the...

The covers on the back are maybe a sign for a chambered body :-P They didn‘t mentioned the weight. Strange thing is the cheap Delrin nut (I‘ve...

I didn't take it as snobbery or anything negative at all, and understood what you were getting at. Anyway, one of the great things about these less...

Dear Joey, Great player for a great guitar. You've squeezed the best out of it. You know I own the same model and, just like you, I highly praise...

I know, I've watched it. But there are good reasons I don't use them. Actually, that's not true either, I have used them occasionally. First, my...

Not available in Asia!

As far as affecting the top -- two pickups versus one -- does anyone do something (short of added a bridge pickup) to simulate a second pickup...

Yes, "setting up the chart" was very helpful to me, given all of the inversions. Without that and how Chris explained the mostly...

Sounds good, Lawson. Yes, I agree about it being better bit faster. And rpjazzguitar, look out! The hat battle has been joined! John

Hot take from someone well outside the target demographic for this guitar: While waiting to pickup one of my guitars from getting a seasonal setup...

all the website says is "fully hollow trestle block body". No one but Collings knows what that is, lol. I have a Gretsch with trestle braces. If I...

Enjoying my Ibanez since then. Beautiful guitar.

Tal tone

thanks for the info Newsense i had a look at the link its difficult to tell from the website if those two models are in fact hollow (they do...

AMH90 is interesting.

Good point - there is surprisingly little detail concerning the construction

Dick change your handle to Thunkmaster. :smile-new:

When you can get past the “G” stigma on the headstock you can be greatly rewarded for far less $$$. As usual Bro, a most stellar and beautiful...

Agreed - plus: cool hat! :smile-new:

sorry...May be I have bad speakers I do not hear clean bass part. It is not about You.It is about of the recording quality .

Many thanks.

There’s a lot of information online now on the Collings website. I totally totally dig the semi shine of the guitars surface and the see-thru...

Jensl talking about metronome...most of backing tr. are made with metronome as a root/you do not hear it/. Playing with different backing tracks...

I figure that buyers who are ignorant enough to demand a COA for a guitar that never had one in the first place are too much trouble to deal with in...

Nice playing and sound.Very good backing track with dynamic bass. Nice jazz feel.

That is just tremendous DB and granted the guitar has great sound it still requires the player to make it..........you got that correct!

Jens is not saying "don't use backing tracks" there. He's saying "don't practice exclusively with backing tracks." I agree with that, and am not...

I know but i literally wrote a single sentence in my post that I've already checked ebay/reverb. ;)

Just tryin to help dude.

Thank You! Your name implies that you are a surfer. Is that true? IF so, I hope to be helping you out some day soon on my GP1800R HO! Good times...

as i mentioned in the original thread, i've already checked ebay/reverb
