Nice to know they (77) do stuff like that, ive been eyeing the Exrubato jazz but a bit concerned about the supposedly beefier necks. The STD with this 30/60 style neck, a trapeze tp instead of stopbar would def be a contender. Ill ask them.
Thanks alot. Enjoy it.

A slightly thinner neck that does not affect Tone would be a cool option .
None of the modern Gibsons (I have tried out ) are too large for my small hands [ hate the shaved down frets on Gibsons - hopefully they fixed that ] - but larger than that on a possible Seventy Seven makes me wonder.

Funny that guitar makers need to be told to make their guitars well balanced, but they do.

Congrats Jack.

Great clean and overdriven tones in your demos. What pickups are they using? Proprietary or something else?
-
thanks, they use their own pickups which are alnico ii humbuckers, medium output. They are actually my favorite humbuckers of anything I've ever tried including the super expensive boutique ones. On the albatross, I was getting a little bit of single coil style zing with both pickups engaged. I don't hear that so much on this instrument though in general, it's a darker sounding guitar.
-
The guitar sounds great, Jack.
-
I know this is supposed to be about the guitar, but holy cannoli, Jack... some ridiculous playing! Looks effortless.
Any plans to revive the old SOS study group thread(s)?

I really like the sounds coming out of it, Jack. There's a woodiness and airiness that's very appealing.
And the quality of the playing...
Hoping to add a semi this year, and as a fellow spinal fusion recipient, anything coming in under 7lb will definitely be on the radar.

thanks brother, much appreciated.

Jack, I think you are going to help Quilter's sales of the OD200. Sounds great for Jazz.

And where is the sale going on?

Is Seventy Seven taking orders for this model? Sounds great and checks a lot of boxes for me
