Solid-body jazz guitarists.

Ulf has been playing that same Gibson Les Paul Studio for many years now!

DG

I read once were he said he paid a $100, for it, new..

I think he tried hollow-body ARIA...not sure he did recording on Aria.

Bambino....

It is imposible to play loud on hollow-body.
This is a big problem!

larry coryell and his gibson super 400 would disagree..when fusion was just being born..coryell was one of the first "super fast" players..saw him in NYC..at a very small club..very small..no "sound people" he had no special effects .. just plugged into the amp..

he found a way around the feedback issue..

I like his playing with out the band.

Well, if Oscar Peterson could approve Ulf Wakenius playing on a solid body, then there's no more hesitation that jazz can be played on a solid body guitar, I'll stick to my Les Paul

[kris]

Must be comfortable for him...:-)

But isn't that the point. Jazz isn't rock.

I've yet to hear a single tele player express that wood-airy warmth...with tempered amplification of course. The closest I've heard come to a tele tone I could handle was when Ulf recorded live with Oscar in Vienna...and even then one can tell blindfolded he was playing a tele...but very soulful playing nonetheless.



I know it's simply a matter of personal taste. I prefer acoustic natural tonality as opposed to synthetic electronics 7 days out of 7. I've seen many a Les Paul I dig to look at, but LP's don't move me like my lady Rose 18" SE.

There is nothing synthetic about the sound of a Les Paul. They sound great when setup right. Many Les Pauls have moved me whether it be Jazz, Blues or Rock. I also prefer the feel and to me they comfortable as opposed to a bulky archtop. Just my 2 cents.

Terje Rypdal plays on a Fender Stratocaster, and Rune Gustafsson played on a Ibanez Les Paul

when Oscar Peterson came to Buenos Aires in the late 90´s he was accompanied by Ulf Wakenius who played an LP Studio plugged into a 100w Fender Twin Amp.

Found a old clip of Ulf playing a semi-hollow:
