Members mnewb1 Posted May 20, 2011 Members Share Posted May 20, 2011 Thinking about a jazz box for the next guitar...what are you guys/gals playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OldGuitarPlayer Posted May 20, 2011 Members Share Posted May 20, 2011 Well...I just picked this up. Does it qualify? Jay Turser ES-335 copy Right now it has roundwounds on it but soon it will have flatwounds for that jazz tone. I also play through a vintage Roland Cube 60 (orange tolex). That also yields a nice clean jazz sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Will Chen Posted May 20, 2011 Members Share Posted May 20, 2011 Well, I play a little bit of everything on this axe including more modern jazz (Scofield, Metheny, etc). Luna Athena with custom humbuckers wound by Terry Kuntz (Bug T) in Little Rock, Arkansas. Its a thinline construction rather than the traditional semi hollow construction and as such leans far more to the solid body end of the spectrum than hollow but I really like this guitar. Full review here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John Backlund Posted May 20, 2011 Members Share Posted May 20, 2011 I don't (can't) play jazz, or much of anything else these days, but I still have a few relics laying around the place... Don't have the orange AF anymore, but the yellow and green guitars are still with me.. Not a good headstock, but I kind of like the rest of it....

Members ozzeh Posted May 20, 2011 Members Share Posted May 20, 2011 Nice guitars. I've found if you put the seymour duncan jazz in the neck of any nice guitar, you will have a killer jazz guitar! Even a BC Rich Bich or Gibson SG... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faber Posted May 20, 2011 Members Share Posted May 20, 2011 I use these interchangably. The Newport and tele have a bit more bite and slightly less bass than the Ibanez and i often like that extra definition. They all sound fine for the job, but I guess you could say that the Ibanez is more idiomatically correct. I use 10-46 roundwounds on all of them btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Woody_in_MN Posted May 20, 2011 Members Share Posted May 20, 2011 I actually like the jazzy tone from my Schecter C1 Plus with SD Jazz & JB's, but if you want guitars that look like a jazz box: I actually sold the red artcore to a very nice girl in town. The blue one has been previously owned by members Rooster, and Zemmy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
