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 think my 1959 Rodebald Hoyer “Samba” 17” acoustic archtop plays and sounds as good as many American vintage archtops I have played and heard. I think it’s a great instrument. Leo Fender never...
I wouldn’t get stewed over it. As far as solid body electric guitars go, Leo Fender, Ted McCarthy, Les Paul, Wenzel Rossmeisl were all chasing Paul Bigsby. Built his first solid body in 1948. Here is...
Brick and mortar charges a lot. Ebay and Reverb less. Craigslist and Facebook (and Jazz Guitar Forum) are free. But you already know that.
Apples to apples for a Facebook listing would be...
Testing it out using the Buscarino chameleon preamp. It sounded better a foot away than it did Straight against the grill. Guitar by Victor Baker

Before you start planning your trip, please check whether I am at home, as I travel to a lot of International jazz guitar workshops. I play somewhat more modern than George Van Eps, although I have...
I don't think USA built guitars will go away, but perhaps there may be less per year built.....
and that may be a GOOD thing. Let's keep the quality of the woods and the build as high as we expect....
