It's a great question. the guitar is SO much quieter than the banjo it's hard to see how it could have caught on! Here is what I know, FWIW. I've played all-acoustic jazz guitar gigs, so I have...
Thanks. Are you saying the post war instruments are as good but different or better ?
So this would solve Allan's dilemma of what to play when he sees a funny altered chord symbol, right? Just ignore it and play Freddie Green type chord voicings. If anyone in the band notices the...

I have two amp handles with no amps to use them on, unfortunately. The black one was fitted for a very short period of time and looks barely used. The brown one is unused. These are very high quality...
I bought this for a 5f1 champ that I ended up selling. Unfortunately, it doesn’t fit in my current amp (Swart Jr.) and I doubt that I’ll be buying any other amps for a long while. So, this guy is up...
