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?
Supro amps have their problems.
I read this thread appreciating my Princeton Reverbs - thought about releasing one, but maybe it's better to hang on to it.
Hearing all these great...
haha oddly enough I haven’t transcribed any GG. But I have listened to him a lot, and picked up something from it, I’m sure. As others have said, his lines have a wonderful clarity, and his time...
Also worth noting that GG was effectively the house guitarist for Blue Note. Alfred Lion obviously liked him, and recorded him on loads of albums.
As far as I know the only other guitarist who...
I finally made up my mind and ordered a 7 string alnico II 59 bridge with a nickel cover to put in the neck position of my 335.
I know I could swap magnets myself in one of my two existing 59s,...
The notes are more easily sung that way; half steps and leading tones. That tradition, as a choral tradition, became assimilated as a sound and once it became part of the compositional canon, it was...
Regardless of how rigid it is, adjustments are necessary over the lifetime of an instrument. My dad's steinberger had a carbon/fiber neck and fingerboard. No trussrod. Guaranteed against warping....
Because rules are tools for fools:)
Most basic answer is that in jazz, the scale is not only used for melody, but harmony.
This is why Christian and I have started a petition to call the scale...
I had never thought about the increased stiffness of a fingerboard fighting the truss rod adjustment, but I do believe it's likely a 'thing'. It's got to make for one rigid board. Of course, maybe if...
How did it evolved in jazz that the melodic minor scale is played the same way ascending or descending, that is, when descending the 6th and 7th notes are not flatted but raised as in when ascending?...
125's like that are great guitars.
I own one of the earliest mid-40's models, and it's a wonderful guitar. Those P90's should come with a warning for players with pacemakers! Serious magnets.
The last amp I really liked was the Fender 68 Custom Vibro Champ Reverb. I had to change all the tubes right away since 2 out of 3 where faulty. I heard a lot of owners report the same issue. After...
