Robben Ford sounded absolutely wicked on a Super 400 playing blues with Jimmy Witherspoon!
I've never tried one, but it's such an elusive dream guitar for me. There's something about it that's just like a grand piano. I'm 28 this week so still young!

Nice, but if I only listen I'm just hearing electric guitar.

Two of my favourite young
archtop players using a somewhat different kind of box outside the box:

Turned 29 this year and I suppose 'young' is a relative term (I feel old, or at least 'older') and I played strats for the longest time. When I got into Joe Pass and got my first archtop I found I played it all the time simply because I'm lazy and don't like plugging it in or dealing with the amp and signal chain. I love the sound of archtops and there is really something about having a big mass of wood vibrating against your torso as you play

Good vibrations indeed (esp. in "classical position" Originally Posted by chris32895

Not exactly a full jazzbox but almost – and the artist-composer-producer SANNI is definitely not jazz! She is one of the most succesful Finnish pop artists in last decade.

And the counter to this trend is that all the rock/blues guys who are brand new and have only heard jazz once in their entire life all think that a Telecaster is a jazz guitar.

But a telecaster...never mind.

No, they think big jazz boxes are jazz guitars. They think Telecasters are "old man" or "Grandpa" guitars Originally Posted by JazzIsGood

Listen to popular music from 2001...sounds just like popular music from 2024.
I feel like my generation is the first that isn't scared by their kids' music. That sucks.

The algorithm is wise and mighty. The algorithm will reach a musical singularity where one song is all songs and no one will love or hate it. Originally Posted by mr. beaumont

I think when the whole point is to scare your parents, something gets lost. How far can it go? I know a lot of parents (now in their 50s) who listened to stuff like NWA in their youth. Originally Posted by mr. beaumont
