To be honest, I'm not among the 200K plus watchers of this thread. Yet, I'd like to identify the guitar in this latest post. The cutaway doesn't look like anything I've seen on a Gibson, and I've seen a few.
This is my Super-400 CES from 1963 with the sharp/florentine cutaway. Gibson originally did them like this along with the ES-350T, Byrdland and L-5 CES from ca. 1962 until ca. 1968 . Not many were made and you see them used by Kenny Burrell, Wes, Larry Corryell, George Benson, Pat Martino and a few others. Very expensive nowadays .... The one in this clip is a new custom made model, a one-off and most probably not cheap either !
Man oh man, those Jun Satsuma videos have, to my ears, some of the most luscious electric jazz guitar tones I've ever heard. Especially the sunburst Super. What a fine player on the standards, too. So nice.

In practicing this morning i realized getting as comfortable as possible at my age was a priority.In order to spend any amount any time.And once again i noticed my picking hand/arm/shoulder had slide away from the pick up.I have be wondering in frustration what happen to a tone i use to get at times for like a month.And a few minutes ago i eureka!!!! I moved my hand/arm/shoulder up toward the pickup and there it was.Now my question is ,is my ear fooling me.mind you its a (a really nice,if there was any off ) 2015 Eastman 403 playing unplugged!Another question should this be in technique section.I figured getting optimal sound it would go here?
I would not call it a warm rounded tone either. It sounds like a guitar directly into mixing console with no preamps or anything and all EQ flat. If that's how it sounds through the amp and that's...
Great sound here. Playing isn’t too shabby either… I have some doubt if it’s really the first time he played it. The action seems to be much lower than typical factory spec. Anyway, I love this tone....
This is some footage of one of his jazz gigs at a Holiday Inn. They subbed for Murph and the Magictones when they hit the road w the Blues Brothers....:cool:

I've never used anything other than a Fender 358 Medium. (don't know how many millimetres thick that is). I must be a weirdo since I've never given anything else a serious go. When I was working I...
Rahsaan was acclaimed by jazz aficionados.
Saw him at Keystone Korner in San Francisco, he was a one man horn section, played lead and accompaniment at the same time - mindblowing!
And the 358 is a tiny pick. It is also the pick I keep going back to. I consider the Jazz III to be on the large side; I use it as a template to cut down 351 or 347 shaped picks.
It's interesting...
Damn, that's interesting. Did he ever mention which jazz pianists he liked or was influenced by? The guy played some real hip stuff on the jazz things they did, and even burned like a maniac on the...
If I remember correctly Reaper had an app called ReaJam… it seemed to work ok. I have not thought about that in years. I have no memory if the latency was bothersome or not. I just remember it...
I realize I may sound immodest, like a total douchebag, but…unlike most of you, I admit I’m gifted, genetically inclined, “talented”, whatever you want to call it, at wandering in circles, flitting...
