Your Number 1 Favorite Jazz Album

I am a big fan of the Bud 6 and I rate it on its own terms as well as in terms of portability I play principally with an Elferink (solid carved, floating pickup, roundwound strings) and it is a...

Is the Bud 6 Really That Good?

I wonder if they'll make an Epi LP Jr. (with single P90)? I'd be in for one of those.

Anyone handled the new Epis?

Faber bridge or Gotoh replacements?

Mine played great right out of the case. I may not be as picky as some, but I for sure know when a guitar could use some attention. I waited about 5 or 6 months before doing anything. As a newborn I...

Anyone selling a Borys B120?

Thx. That's what I'm looking for. Scheming what to do because I might want to work on rock/metul too with guitar sounds controlled by my keyboard. Dunno if I want to devote time to it tho.

Are there good jazz guitar VSTs?
