Looking for a "jazz box"

I’ve been very happy with the Wampler Dual Fusion. This video does it some justice…to my ears : ) https://youtu.be/ltuLFeftPiE?si=3lmv9a6EnszonrUS

How to get smooth lead tone?

I don't think they use laminates on H-575. One of the Custom Core guitars available on their website has seams on front and back.

Heritage now offering the H-575 as part of their Core Collection Series

There’s an Epiphone reissue of that (google Epiphone Thorogood). They’re tough to find, but worth taking a look. An Epi Sorrento is basically the same thing.

I agree! I have two dumble "clones" by amplified nation. The steel string singer is the smooth, clean leader of the dumble herd, I also have an overdrive reverb for rock. Before I got the steel...

How to get smooth lead tone?

I’ve been known to hit that Bb over the F chord. I wouldn’t consider it a key change since it’s just F major over an F major chord, which is diatonic to C. I dunno, I’m also ignorant to all the...

How to get smooth lead tone?

Using a 6dim scale over its chord can be thought of as two ways: - Harmonizing the scale by using inversions over the chord tones and passing diminished chords over the non-chord tones. - Creating...

Worth mentioning that I don’t think BH would’ve thought of this as tonicizing the ii chord (or IV). It would just be internal motion within the prevailing harmony. Alan and Christian could obviously...

Dear fellow 175 enthousiasts, A few days ago I decided to put a fresh set of Thomastik-Infeld JS112's on my guitar. I also took the time to (finally) fine tune the bridge, since after the 12th fret,...

ES175: Suddenly an open airy tone

Makes sense. Especially when descending, right? It would be the bIIIo -> ii motion in inversions.
