@Ol' Fret, thanks for a very informative post, hopefully this will be useful to others on a similar quest. I would love a Lang but the prices have gone up prohibitively. Thankfully there are many...

Vintage German archtop with a wide nut

I was inspired by Mr B's month of rhythm guitar then summer of rhythm guitar. I've been on a kick to improve my technical skills so I thought why not record every day? People say if you want to...

Thoughts on Gabor Szabo? Was he a jazz artist or no?
