Impressive. I like hearing the brass in jazz. Guitar and piano are other favorites.

I've had a coupe of Les Paul's. Just never cared for them. Great instrument, just not me. I had a 1959 ESS 335 Gibson once that I probably should have hung on to. In the high end guitar world, 2k ain't much.

I grew up on the brass in MoTown tunes. Then, brass in Chicago songs. Good brass section is nice to hear. Lots o' brass in the Ray Charles music.

Sorry, Sly I'm clueless. Seems like expensive to me. He has a Gibson acoustic. He is really really talented. I may send you a pm to a link of one of his vids.

I used to tinker around with guitars, I have an old Hyostar.

We are in basic things. Louis Armstrong. Count Basie. The Duke. Ella Fitzgerald. Billie Holliday. Etta James. BB King.

I love a good trumphet or trombone. And hearing Lucille is something special

Cool, I'll watch. Only meant that $15-$20000 for a great guitar is not unheard of.

Dozens of names I'd put in place of that one. Just not a fan of his.
Junior Wells, Lightnin' Hopkins, Muddy Waters, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Luther Allison, Jimmy Lee Robinson, Shemekia Copeland, Michael Roach, Albert King, Johnny Winters, Howlin' Wolf, Robert Johnson, John Lee Hooker, Leadbelly, SRV, Billie Holliday, KoKo Taylor.......endless list of greats.

Good sound, good action? Decent or just a beater box?

Sometimes, I think it's a name thing. Martin, for example. They could make a good guitar for $1000 or less. But, they don't. Cheapest Martin I've played that was decent was $3500.

It's got a nice rich sound, It's really made exactly like a Hummingbird. It's pretty nice, has a few scuffs.
