I'd like to start a new anti-gear thread. Videos of guitar players sounding great on affordable instruments (i.e. sub $1000). Doesn't necessarily need to be their main instrument.
But in these two cases, it is.
Aria Pro Jazz Guitar
1980's Fender Bullet (so I'm told)

Gray Sargent on the Kingpin.
-
Gray's looking more like Tal Farlow every day.

Jake Reichbart, who I see recently posted his arrangement of the Star Trek theme in the showcase forum
-
That Dave Cliff vid is amazing! Never heard of him before. Looks like a Tele neck on a Stratish body. Amazing chops with no use of the pinky for the solo, fun player to watch and listen to!! Off to find more, thanks for posting!!

I wonder what Lorne was thinking when he got the call? "...hmmm, a gig with Oscar Peterson. I know, I'll bring my Ibanez Roadstar!"
-
Birelli on his Yamaha Strat with P90
-
You too could play like Birelli...

Ah, glad you liked him - South London's finest, and my first ever jazz guitar lesson was with him many moons ago... Originally Posted by Ken Olmstead

Re: Pinky. TBH I think it's more hinderance than help to be honest. Unless you are Pasquale Spiderfingers Grasso and can play the entire works of Bach on the guitar with one hand tied behind your back or somethin.

I actually don't know but there's a story behind it: Originally Posted by christianm77

Knowing that the Squier line is basically of at least decent quality he checked some Squiers and happened on the one he's playing there and bought it for himself because he liked it right from the start: great playability and good sound. Goes to show that the stars align for cheapo guitars, too.

I'm sure Jim Mullen plays a cheap aria... Anyone confirm this ?
-
Yep, the s/b guitar in the first vid is his sunday best Aria. The usual one is natural. Sounds the same.. Originally Posted by AndrewPat

Lenny Breau playing a Baldwin solid body 12 string as a 6 string on Live at Shelly's Manhole Club!
-
Gary Clark Junior plays on an Ephiphone Casino often.
-
Kurt on a cheap Epiphone
-
Epi ES175 Premium, for sure!
-
I really liked his tone on this tune - this was pretty much the first Kurt I heard... Originally Posted by jorgemg1984

Not a jazzer, but the late Jeff Healey regularly gigged a Squier Strat.
-
Not to derail the thread but I'm a huge jack Pearson fan, on the 2nd clip he talks about the squire, the first clip is just some tasty chord work on a 339? Originally Posted by TOMMO
12:10 he talks about the his strat.

Thanks - I seemed to remember that I had the info from some interview video clip. Jack Pearson is a top notch player. Originally Posted by 55bar
