MIJ Seventy Seven Jazz Hawk Deep

[2bornot2bop]

I swore I’d never do another NGD.

But just when I think I’m done buying archtop’s, no, they’re dragging me back in.

The SS JH Deep is nearly the identical dimensions of former ES175’s I’ve owned.

It has a depth of 3.4375 inches.

Action on this guitar is superbly low, just like I prefer it.

It plays so easily, and every note just sings.

The ebony fretboard isn’t as bright sounding as I’d anticipated. But the TI 11’s have to go. Time for TI GB 0.14’s.

Thanks for sharing. Now, this time I swear I’m done!

Very nice. And I must say you sure know how to take pictures of guitars.

One of us! One of us!

Thx John. Some quick iPhone pix.

My days of spending hours photographing archtop’s with lighting and camera gear are long gone. There’s more than a few here, somewhere.

You’ve got me reminiscing…

Surprisingly, I got TI GB 0.14’s on without any hassle whatsoever. That was a blessing!

Damn. Maybe I should have bought this.

You didn't have a choice. Amazing deal and a great guitar. Glad to see it in your possession.

Yes. Sorry Spook. Thank you! Spent the whole day playing Bossa Nova tunes. It was quite the find.

Thanks to PatrickB for finding and posting it!

Congrats [mention]2bornot2bop [/mention]! I almost pulled the trigger myself, and I’ve already got one. I’ve got some GHS Martino 15s(?) on it right now and it’s balanced, easy to play, and has a great voice.

Thank you osloutah! Congratulations that you already own a SS!

So, I must confess. Years ago I’d seen these guitars, I believe on the web even before Jack Zucker displayed his here in 2017 with his fabulous videos.

But for some reason I wasn’t a fan of the look. I didn’t care for the tailpiece or binding. What did I expect, that they’d attempt to copy the real thing? No, they were doing their own thing, which is admirable.

But obviously I needed some incentive to purchase a used one. And in the flesh, the guitar is a master work of build quality. And in person, not some web page that doesn’t reveal anything, the guitar is extremely well built, and the electronics are a strong suit too.

But the important thing, which has yet to be discussed, is how acoustic the guitar is, well, at least the Deep Body model.

It’s very acoustic! You don’t get this acoustic value from the real thing. And my thought was, you shouldn’t for each is a different guitar.

Thanks to all for your congratulations!

+ 1 to all of the above. These are beautifully made, very playable, great sounding guitars.

Thank you. Yes, it’s deep. Only 1/16” shy of 3.5” deep.
