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?
My 2020 Mule steel tricone is the perfect jazz guitar for me. To my ears it is hard to beat a resophonic guitars sound. Tickles the ears like a chorus of bells.
No, it got smashed. If there's any semblance of careful packaging, a fall inside a box wouldn't break off the headstock.
The way to protect against that is to ship in a hardshell case, then...
Hi thanks for the comments I sold the original pick guard and tailpiece just have the finger tailpiece for sale. I also went up to 13s with a 14 on the top e and an 18 for the b. This has made a very...
So from what I remember from playing a Heritage JS, is that the top and possibly the back is carved thinner than the Gibson version?
Also didn’t the fingerboard on the Gibson version go into the...
Bill Barker always said that the grain pattern of being wider was no really true. He said carving and tuning were the key. He thought actually the wider grain made for a mellower sound and warmer....
I have done a number of side by side comparisons. I have 4 original DeArmond's of which 2 are 1100's, 1 is a 1000, and the other is the Rhythm Chief. I also have 4 of the reissues. I had one reissue...
They are both talented musicians. Their dad and uncle were pretty good also.

The Milkman 100 is a great amp, and being a "Pedal" amp. it could be used very well in a "no amp" situation where one is going direct into a PA.
It is a Class D solid state amp with a tube pre-amp...
Mr.Boulou Ferre follows his own muse in gypsy jazz genre. A unique and gifted talent. Here is a clip you may like. It’s in a bar, after hours, Boulou and Stochelo Rosenberg have a nice, quiet jam.

I haven't had a guild reissue on my instruments but I've seen/heard/noodled on one that did and it sounded good. I've heard from people that Guild is doing a very good job with them.
As already being pointed out by many electric guitar into an acoustic amp is not a recipe for a great sound, which I totally agree with. If crispy acoustic like rhythm sound is the target, why not...
