What comes of decades of “noodling”?

Are there good jazz guitar VSTs?

I enjoyed Jack's video. I may have seen it before, but it is especially on-point for me at this time, so Thanks again, Jack!

Ive had mine for a month now so still trying different strings and action, that said heres what I know the body is mahogany which I believe is typical for Guilds as the starfire is also. The "MoP"...

Looking for a "jazz box"

I played the 2012 es-175 yesterday afternoon, made an offer, and it was quickly accepted. I think this was a guitar that was bought and cased for most of its life. The frets show almost zero marks;...

Playing live and getting the best sound from the guitar

[QUOTE=D.G.;1331758]I always bring a $5k guitar to gigs, regardless of pay :smile-new: Me too. I bought my guitars to play, not to sit at home and look at. Apologies for being off topic.

So what's the verdict re. current Epiphone Broadways?

Same here...why oh why...

Can't believe I actually had one, which was absolutely perfect, and sold it.
