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?
You can have a looper play through the amp and move the mic around listening through headphones. Or use an amp plugin when mixing, they usually feel lackluster but sound good.
A beautiful instrument! I bought a 18" Excalibur from Frans some years ago and find it to be a very good sounding guitar.
Just for my personal curiousity a few questions:
Is the AKG condenser...
Dear Ed,
I own one of Jimmy Foster’s 7-strings, a great guitar. I also use an Evans RE amp.
You can look Ron up on YouTube, there are many interesting videos of him there.
The last few years...
Dear mr. Quick,
Thanks for your interest in one of my guitars. I do not hope it will available too long, as I will sell to the first interested buyer.

The thumb! for whatever reason I like it with Donna Lee. Definitely limits the positions and fingerings, but for me it really makes me think of how to phrase things with the left hand.
Absolutely. Obviously it's a terribly basic idea to plonk down block chords with the left while playing a tune with the right. I mean, that's the sort of musical equivalent of a child intensely...
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...
