Really a cool guitar, just over 6 pounds with the Duesenberg-inspired/designed tremolo. If you don't like the tremololololo, you can replace it with a regular stoptail piece with no additional modification which is nice.
I put flatwounds on this when I first got it, and it has a really enjoyable jazz sound about it. The fit and finish are really impressive, and it's a fun guitar to play. It definitely has a Collings/330/something else going on kind of vibe. Frets have no noticeable wear and everything works as the day I got it from the local shop.

It's all packed up ready to go. If you really want the specs I'll unpack it, but it's a very nice medium C. I'd guess probably .85 at the first and .95 at the 12th.
I have similar feelings to you, Zack. I’ve tried to find the ‘right’ instrument and the ‘right’ genre, and I still feel I’m walking around trying to find my way in. And yet I still have this...
The seller tells me he has always played with a low B, so that's what's on it...so that's where I'll start. It should arrive Tuesday or Wednesday. He uses Stringjoy 11-64. I know nothing about them.
Thanks to everyone who showed interest in the guitar and helped me find answers. A big thank you to Cameron Brown, who helped me discover that this guitar was made by Franz Hirsch.
A journey has a destination whereas a ramble is its own destination. Unless you set out on a ramble from the get-go - i.e. playing as a sheer hobby just for fun - changing 'journey' to 'ramble'...
For some of us music is a calling. I will turn 69 in a few months and while I will never play as well as say, Joe Pass, I think I am still improving so I plan on keeping at it.
Thanks to all for your suggest
Now I have to decide what pickup buy and I’m oriented to De Armond tone boss.
Probably in this range of price the differences between models are no so high .
Then...
I'm chuckling because there is a video on YouTube of a live performance of Keith Jarrett playing On Green Dolphin Street and he did the whining and similar vocalizations he makes when he...
To be honest, I can't see myself buying an expensive guitar from someone who would leave the strings on it like that. I've never even seen such a thing on a Good Will auction guitar. :nightmare:
Yes, it just happens. Life intervenes! It’s great that you haven’t given up completely, as many do.
A friend of mine came round with a T64v, and I loved the time I spent with it. It was the best...
