A while ago I made a transcription of a Joe Pass solo fingerstyle version of Joyspring, as I was fascinated to know how he made this into an effective solo guitar arrangement (I worked it out from that youtube video where he plays to some people in a guitar shop, plus bits from another version he recorded).
It’s an absolute pig to play, I still can’t play it properly. Increased my respect for Joe no end. Especially as in the youtube video he starts talking while he plays it!

Too bad about Spencer—for years I would see it...
That's fine, and it's a rational attitude. I'm not lecturing, and I've read a lot of good things about Chinese archtops. I'm simply saying that for me there are other considerations that come into...

I dunno I got a Gibson because I like the guitar, rather than any ideological rationale.
I’d rather have fewer quality instruments than lots of cheap ones though.

I need a stool like this but too cheap to buy one. I sit on a 4 leg folding chair and it is a PIA as it does not swivel. I have thought of doing this maybe I need to think more about it.
I like Chinese archtops. I have six of them and can't see me parting with any. I also have expensive Gibson's that I like. I don't think there are any better sounding electric archtops than the L5...
