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).

:victorious: I have the Elitist Broadway and these are fine fine fine pressed solid spruce top guitars. Plugged in, there's nary a difference to their Gibson forebears.
I like the way the listing waxes rhapsodic but fails to mention the wood used for the body, the weight of the thing, the nut width - things that tele geeks very specifically want to know. "The Maple...
The rise of many of the great independent archtop luthiers predated the cessation of Gibson archtop production by several decades. From the 1960s onward, Gibson did not make many carved archtops, and...
