And speaking of rare 99% of the time when someone mentions a Tele for Jazz....they post Ed Bickert....
I like Ted Greene on the Tele because you can hear the Voices more....but Ted didn't roll off the highs too much.Last edited by Robertkoa; 07-22-2016 at 03:40 PM.

Go to around 3:05 for start of tune and be sure not to miss the burning solo

Speaking of great solid body players, Lorne Lofsky's tone always slays me. This is pretty classic.

You'll be surprised by how much warmth you can get out of the way you pick. The older I get and the more I play, the more I join the "all that matters are the strings, pickups, and player camp."
I've heard players make a solidbody sound like an archtop and people make an archtop sound like an ice pick.

I haven't tried it through my AI plus RS10 yet on a gig...

If my Musicianship gets up into the Ed Bickert level...that would be a great ' Problem ' to have...lol.
Chops is one thing and overall Musicianship is another much broader Subject.....Last edited by Robertkoa; 08-05-2016 at 08:49 AM.

Jim,
Glad to see Lorne Lofsky get some attention, here. He is enormously talented and flies too much under the radar. I remember him from about...20 years ago...when he was with Oscar Peterson. The guitar chair in that organization is a "big shoes to fill" proposition (Barney Kessel, Herb Ellis, Joe Pass).
Like his countryman and sometime collaborator, Ed Bickert, Lofsky favors a solid-body Fender. If possible, Lofsky gets an even better jazz tone from his Fender, IMO.
Thanks for posting his clip.

I spent some time w Lorne L at Whistler a couple of years ago. He was playing an Ibanez RG something or other with Duncan Hot Rails. Terrific player (great tone) nice guy.

Today I had a BIG surprise. I went into a LGS and there was a Les Paul ES there. I always wanted to try the ES but also to hear the MHS pups.
I find that if I have low expectations of a new Gibson I never get disappointed. Armed with low expectations I plugged it into a twin reissue (all eq settings on 5) and as expected the setup was horrible. The pickups nearly touched the too thin strings and the action was silly high.
The sales guy gave me a screwdriver and I was able to lower the pup and action substantially.
WOW! I REALLY liked playing it! The MHS pups were everything I hoped every freakin 57, 58 clone I thought should be. Not the least bit harsh and biting like the burstbuckers I own. Jeez even the bridge pup was very usable.
I think that this one may be one of the most versatile gits I've played. I"m Les Paul'ed out, or it would be home with me tonight.

The pups are amazing: check the reviews. Turns out this guitar is also very nice for a jazz tone.

Since we had Ibanez RG Prestige take on jazz, more videos of unusual guitars playing jazz.
