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.
Yeah, it's absolutely fantastic.
I seriously pondered the Mosaic box when it came out, I have quite a few other sets but never got around to the TB box. I like having vinyl whenever possible,...
I googled "chord". The first thing that came up said that a "chord" is three or more notes.
What happens when it's two notes an octave apart and a third note?

Different worlds. A non-trem singlecut vs a doublecut trem. Then there’s how the amp is dialed in. Les Pauls and 335’s can sound dark. If you set up an amp to work well with a LP and then switch to...
Hi!
It's always fun to try to find interesting chord options for basic progressions. Here's some for 1-6-2-5 progression in D major. These kind of voicings really pop out from basic chords.

I took delivery of this Jazz Special a year or so ago. Over time I’ve noticed a light colored “stripe” has appeared on the top longitudinally from neck to the tailpiece. (See the photos below). I...
Haha, yeah of course I've seen this. Boy, what a contrast! - most would think Tina gets blown away by Fathead's confident blustering assault, but he quietly steps up to the mic and just does his own...
