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?
and if you want to stuff ,but keep
the weight off , like me ….
try stuffing with soft foam instead of cotton
again it still sounds like a hollow body
jazz box

I owned the Elitist Broadway and a Gibson L5ces and played them side-by-side very often. Honestly, neither my ear nor my hands could tell the difference except that the Elitist Broadway had a...
I can underline Archie's point about trussrods on Gibsons. Like SS, I've had at least 7 175s, rangeing from early 60s, through 70s, 80s, 90s, to 2000s models. One thing that consistently bothered me...
I love my milkman into my raezers edge stealth 110 ER. It’s among my favorite cabs for jazz. The sound is very direct and punchy, quite unlike the spongier sound of a fender amp.
one thing that...
Hi everyone! The Holst is still available. Feel free to ask any questions! And if you are near Philadelphia you are welcome to come check it out in person!
Rirhett/Jake - out of curiosity I reached out to Bill Comins last evening, and the saddle is indeed reversed. He said it may result in the D & G string being a tad off. I mentioned to Bill I'm not...
That's fine, we don't have to agree. I think if you're exclusively playing rhythm guitar then that'd be the application for which an acoustic amplifier would be least problematic.
Looks like I lost the last message. Anyway can you recommend a good fit for a acoustic flat top. I can't seem to get the projection or tonal response I want with Jazz set ups. ? Considering a...
Disagree. I have been playing rhythm guitar through Schertler David/Unico and Ultrasound acoustic amps for years with single coil magnetic-pickup-equipped archtops, sometimes straight in, sometimes...
