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 can definitely hear the difference between, say, an all-mahogany LP Special and a “real”
LP with a maple cap (substantial recent experience with that comparison). But I could not detect the ratio,...
Hey Topper, sorry for delay. The pics above should give ya the numbers ya need. Regarding the neck profile, definitely more of a flat-D type shape and reasonably shallow. With the slightly wider nut,...
I like scrapple. I never learned the B section.
Billie’s Bounce is good too. I can work it in the lower octave since I just have it down in the higher one.
Not exactly a jazz guitarist, but Jubu is one of the most influential RnB guitarists of the last 40 years. I saw the preview for this video a while ago and it finally dropped a few days ago. Great...
I have one of these “kits”

The leveling tool is a narrow block of wood with a fret-shaped slot. You...
Christian's got me learning Billie's Bounce in the style of Rachmaninov, and since I can only seem to remember one tune at a time, it would be great if we did that one here too. I might even throw in...

I'm up for anything. I'm still getting Donna Lee up to tempo, but for the first time in my life I feel like I have it truly memorized and worked out in the way that sits best for me...so that was...
Where were you last year when I broke my fish?
It started when I ordered a bass online. I was quite surprised when I opened the box and a largemouth flopped out. Clear across the floor and off the...
Okay Dewey square is maybe my personal favorite but thought maybe it was tiny bit niche? Maybe not?
That would also be another good break tune. Not easy but basically just eight bars.
Remember, something is only jazz when a jazz player says it is. And a jazz player only that when other jazz players agree that s/he is :cool:
And we really can't have that on jazzguitar.be,...
