I had to start off this section with my problem with GAS which probably is a problem with others in this forum :>)....
My guitars: Gibsons: LeGrand(s) one a 98 in sunrise orange/the other an 05 in natural, L5-CTN, 06 ES-350t custom with a single alnico in the neck position and 24 3/4" scale, 64 L7c, 59 historic 335, 57 historic Les Paul Custom, Pat Martino Custom, Chet Atkins CE; Guilds: 56 X-550, 60 A-500, 60 Aristocrat, 63 17" George Barnes Acousti-Lectric; new Epiphone Elitist Broadway, and Ibanez GB-15TR. Play these through a 62 Ampeg Reverberocket with the deepest reverb that I have ever heard.
Believe me this is not bragadosia on my part. I just love jazz and jazz guitars. Could not buy nearly any of these guitars today however. jim hahn in San Diego P.S. Major kudos to Mark for starting this new forum!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Jim and Mark,

Jim, I'm just locking at your nice guitar collection, woah Shocked

! At time I would be happy, at least to own "one" good jazz box Very Happy

I have a '87 PRS CU24 10 top which I bought new 1988 in Germany. My amp mainly is a Mesa Boogie Mk IV combo, which I also purchased in Germany 1991, a very versatile all tube amp. But over the years I became more and more a jazz lover beside good blues stuff.
So to own also a good jazz guitar is a must for me in the next time.
BTW, what do you think about the art core line made by Ibanez, for example the AF 125. These jazz guitars look so beautiful and are not so expensive. But more important is a good tone of course. Have you any experiences with this guitars, are they worth the money?

kind regards
Arno

I have quite a bit of gear and guitars. The vast majority of my guitars are solid bodies I've either heavily modified or built myself.

The only archtop I have presently is an Ibanez AK85. Great guitar I picked up from a guy I think lives just up the road from Mark. Shocked

I tend to believe a person doesn't need a $5,000.00 guitar to make good music. But if anyone wants to give me one, well that's another story! Laughing

Hey Gorecki,you should send that guitar to me....you don't have time to play it ,and I do ...so I thought I would do you a favor and keep it lubed up for you.What you think?One of those dogs might chew on it, too.

You know, that's something wonderful about guitars and dogs in ways makes them more loyal and reliable than people.

If you set a guitar aside or ignore a dog for a period of time, they'll be right there waiting for you. At the same time, the inverse occurs. If you get rid of a cherished guitar or let go of a dog....for what ever reasons, it will haunt you forever....if you truly loved them in the first place. Wink

My jazz guitars are a handmade Triggs (a giant archtop), an Eastman thinline, and a Heritage 335 copy (first year of issue with Seymour Duncan Jazz pickups).

My classical guitar -- my main axe -- is a Brazilian RW Contreras with a spruce (not cedar) top.

I also have a Fender Jazz bass and a couple of Strats.
