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 once depped as a bass player several times in a nice 5 piece. We did a few gigs in a pub in England. The regular bassist got his own band a gig there so the bandleader for whom I depped sacked his...
In the guitar concertos thread, I stumbled on the above mentioned Johnny Smith recording that i was never fond of before, because of the poor job they did recording it on vinyl in 1955. The...

Well, as I said I bought my ES-175 for $2500 just a few months ago. The seller dropped the price after a month or so without any nibbles at $3000; I think that pretty clearly suggests the local...

Thx, yes the piano is better. I am playing single notes with my left hand and jazzy voicings in the right hand, it's my Tony training. When I started piano, I was locked into the beginner way of...
Jack,
This guitar compliments your playing style to a T.
I just think you are very comfortable playing this guitar. I think because responds quickly, and it matches your fast clean lines. You add...
Actually, the US has became a consumer and services based economy. So, it changed. More data centers, fewer machine shops. Which is fine. Except for some strategic stuff like chips and weapons. ...
I did a fair bit in the 80s 90s and into the 00s. Rock bands, Country, Function, House band, Jazz residencies, Duo/trio, Dep work, several operating at the same time. All this while working in...
Unfortunately, it’s not always that simple because of nut slot clearance. If a slot is too narrow, the string will bind. If it’s too wide, the string will not be stable, which is a common cause of...
It's ok thanks. It has always been a bit of a compromise balancing gigs with family life. I'm more choosy these days (one failed marriage) and don't gig as much as I did. Currently more rock than...
