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 have been baking bread for many years. The ingredients are simple but how you prepare them makes a huge difference in the finished product.

I don't know much about '70s JSs, and I don't remember ever seeing a JS with a volute. But the pics of this one seem to show one. Is it there and if so, can that be the original neck?
I just picked up a 2014 L4CES which is solid carved mahogany back and sides, but stained darker than natural. I’m assuming they stained it to hide the bookmatch with mahogany. Not sure about these...
The intonation can be set at the 12th fret however high the nut slots are. But the notes at other frets, especially the ones nearer the nut, will be out of tune. As I said, the issue might be due...
Why not take an easily available base, and plug/redrill the threaded stud holes, to fit your Faber base? If you are not experienced to do this, have a luthier do it for you.
All very good Archie! Fun to watch the progression. I want to see some guitars!
Preaching to the choir on vacuum pressing here, as you may remember. Here's a little story: I worked in a shop that...
X brace double cut. Those braces are put in there as an integrated part of a carved top, and it's a deadly compromise on intended design and structural integrity to rout a top like that...ESPECIALLY...
Brian thanks.
There is also a huge sawmill out in Germany where I hope to acquire my spruce plates.
They also do pre pressed solid arched plates but that’s not suitable for what I’m trying to do....
I was thinking of buying it and taking it apart for R&D but even at that price, I’m not interested.
Who would you sell it to at £4k?
I could buy a Guild Artists Award for that.
