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.
I was thinking of getting a didgeridoo, heard it's an effective, inexpensive, and entertaining way to improve your breathing capacity - doubt that I could play jazz on it though.

Well, you made it a Abm7b5 chord, which only has one note different than a Gmaj7 (Ab rather than G) and doesn't sound dominant to me.
But I suspect you're using good substitutes but...

I don't think I said anything about lowering the 6th. I said lower the 7th a semitone to the 6th.
D7b5 at the 10th fret = D-X-C-F#-Ab=X
lower the 7th and you get D-X-B-F#-Ab-X

No, the form is a standard 12 bar blues with the melody being 8th notes. You ask me for a chart and then disregard it? Or did you lose your ability to read? :P Yes, Ab and Db accidentals over the...
once you go through a vintage BF amp and bring things up to snuff, they will last for a really long time. I’ve had my BF Deluxe Reverb since the mid 70’s, I may have had one preamp tube go on a gig...
If you were to find an FRFR speaker that could take the very low-level signal straight out of your tele without a preamp, it would sound totally dry, with tone-shaping capabilties limited to the...
