I am the happy owner of one of Steve Holst's first guitars, built in 1995. It is the only one I haven't sold in the last 20 years, because it's the best guitar I've played. After roughly a...
Wow did I get my 175 just in time! You know, there's a sweet 175 listed in the For Sale section? Better jump on it 'for the price goes up 100%... There are still some Epiphone archtops still...
Regardless of key, I play Estate in 7/8. A lot of tunes can feel shoehorned when placed inside 'odd' time signatures but the melody for this one fits perfectly.
I started GUITAR playing by ear, not JAZZ! I started out a folk player, John Denver wanna-be type. I actually did manage to learn "Classical Gas" pretty much by ear when I was 14, but it took a whole...
I am fine with whatever, as long as there's more posting of music and less posting of typing. Get's me outta that bad habit. Typing never helped my playing much. Great playing on these...
I love that era of Harmony guitars. Their higher-end guitars are not quite the equivalent of Guild and Gibson, but they have their own vibe and are good guitars in their own way. Here are a couple...
Who remembers the live slow SH version of Estate and Quiet Nights from the Live at Vine St. album. Sublime!

Would like to see any pics you may have of guitars (preferably lighter colours) loaded with tortoise pickups, just to get an idea of how they look in place. :)
I'm not surprised, since Epiphone dropped all their archtops, after the crappy acoustic ones flopped. GC went big on the D'Angelico replicas, then sold them off at deep discount. For a long time I...
Thanks very much Joe for taking the time to give such a thorough response. This actually sounds like a very fun project I'm going to have to try. And the results you obtained speak for themselves. ...
I'm not familiar with P13s, but, when a particular amp/guitar combo isn't blowing air up my skirt, I reach for a mild OD pedal, like my Mojomojo or Bad Monkey, combined with an equalizer (I use a...
I'm curious how you were able to learn to play the head (melody) with the "by ear" approach? Yea, one can listen to instrumental jazz recordings but rarely is the head played as written by the...
That is sweet! If I hadn't just bought one last week I would sure consider it! I am not an expert on prices, but for a 50's 175 even with one pickup that seems like a great deal, especially in...
Steve Holst be Da Man!
