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?
Hi Tal.
The defining factor of Dm7 into G7 is the change of D Minor Seventh's 'C' note to G Seventh's 'B' note.
Barry's F6o has 'C' and Dm6o & Abm6o have 'B' notes making the move strong.

I've often seen archtops described as being mid-rangy (acoustically at least). One of the things that I seem to be noticing now that I have a wooden-with-bone-insert saddle on my Loar is that I have...

James Chirillo- He makes life in a big band sound pretty bland, but in context of all the other instruments he is finding a tonal wedge to place the guitar part into and not...
Yes - that is Alaskan Sitka Spruce in the first video. The spruce was part of a specially-selected stash that was used for a small-run custom guitar for Gibson. They did not use all of the wood, and...
I don't know if this interests you, Jack - but I thought I'd mention it in case you might consider it. There's a PM200 for sale now at Guitars 'n Jazz.
Hey Jeff, good to hear from you. Well, to back it up a bit my last jazz box had TI Bensons on it. They were muy fabuloso! After about a month or two they broke in very nicely and for three years...
I spent a little time today trying to get that first section up to speed, trying to see where basically I begin to lose control of it. In stepping up from 170, to 180, 200, and finally 210 I hit the...
I think there's that guy who did a video at Lincoln Center who demonstrated "chords" on the D string only. Didn't sound good to me, but people say that Freddie Green did it.
There's a Freddie...
I agree with the comfort and playability of the S15 - I was fortunate enough to buy the last S15 Jim made before retiring, and still have it today.
The S14 is even more comfortable and...
Older Heritage were the closest to Gibsons I've seen, great guitars.. I once missed buying a used lefty 575 for a great price .. :( But the Gibson guys are gone from Heritage now, and I haven't...
