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've never run into issues with people being late. It has never happened once since I started playing jazz gigs 2-3 years ago. Same with drugs, never seen people getting high on gigs. I play with...
The music life is a calling, much like someone is called to be a priest or monk. The work is demanding, with bad hours, and for people who are intoxicated, and it's low paying but the reward is in...
Thanks for the information, Greywolf. I haven’t gotten back to the project but if my polishing compounds don’t work I will first clean the surface with Naphtha. And will then do a light overspray...
Hey all,
I bought my ES-175 used for $2499 at the Hollywood Guitar Center about 10 months ago.
Plays great, looks great etc... It was part of a "3 day all used 20 percent off deal."so if my...
In one of Jimmy Bruno’s recent videos, he’s Jonesing for gig work. And I think he’s in Philly.
That told me a lot about my place in the universe. As if I didn’t already know.
It is rational. My money stays here and benefits people here, a remote group of islands in the South Pacific that does not receive welfare payments from anywhere else. It is our mutual interest to...
I'm largely self-taught when it comes to being a band leader. Every time I've taught myself something I found out later there were major holes in my knowledge. Probably no exception this time. That...
