I recently purchased this from a JGF member and find it a wonderful instrument at an absurdly reasonable price. My go to instrument is a 7 string custom 17” jazz box and my thought was to find something a bit more ergonomic for longer playing sessions. The Jazz Elite is perfect in this regard: only 5.6 lbs, 2.25 body depth, 1.75 nut, 25.0 scale, fully carved maple with spruce, loud acoustically. But although it is in the ballpark, it doesn’t sound quite as good as a full sized jazz box (duh!) and I miss the 7th string. So I am offering it for exactly what I bought it for: $1600, your shipping. You can read much more about this model on Lou’s website, Guitars ’n Jazz, he designed it with Eastman. Why is it so inexpensive? Apparently the previous owner took shipment on it during a winter cold snap and there is some finish checking on the face. It is difficult to see in the photos but in various lights you can see it. The back is unscathed. I researched it before buying and apparently it does not compromise the structure or sound in any way - many older guitars have this, and it can also be cosmetically improved with the addition of more finish. To me it is of little consequence except that it necessitates this lower price.

FWIW, Pyramid also let you compose your own sets through their website, and will do "specialty" string orders, with optional hand-polishing at no extra cost (IIRC). Neither is particularly more...
$52 for a 300£ stool seems a bargain (esp. if you don't flush it down) :cool:
That picture gives me shivers though; the thing is probably better balanced than it looks but if it does flip in that...
If the rest of the band is standing, it feels odd to be the only one seated imho. I like to sit though, preferably on a barstool or something like it. A regular low chair or standing is just about...
I've caught up with bar 9-14 after my holidays.
I think the phrase is nearly correct, but slow, maybe about 120bpm.
This is played on my 7 string with a Sax plugin, I like the fake Sax sound.
Sweetwater is letting you sell gear with no fees, for purchase credits. Interesting.
