Jazz guitar
 

hi guys anyone use an Ibanez for jazz playing besides me?
-Patch

No, but I would have no problem doing so. Those newer hollow bodies, the natural coloured ones, are gorgeous for the price.

yeah i know...i use an Ibanez GAX70..
its a good model its just a red plain electric guitar it looks like a Les paul...


-James

Ibanez, Fender, etc.
It's no about the guitar; it's about the player but I like my Ibanez for the jazz.

Ibanez make high quality guitars. I probable wouldn't use a GAX model, simply because it's a solid, and I don't really dig that kind of clean sound, but they're pretty sturdy little guys.

I actually use a Schecter semi hollow. Best of both worlds, IMO. Great access and playability, with a semi's sound. I do eventually want a full box though, and it may well be an Ibanez. Until I can afford a Sadowski anyway.

Ibanez AF120 Artstar is my main guitar right now, and will be until I can afford a custom.

artcores are great. i myself use an RG2550 because i cant afford a new semi yet.

you can play LP's for jazz... les paul himself was a jazz guitar player... well different styles of jazz, but yes...

I was watchin Bet Jazz and a really good player was usin an artcore. I personally wouldn't use an RG or S for jazz

Are you sure it wasn't a PM or GB?

I personally don't like the cheaper Artcores, but the AF105F looks pretty nice.

ya the cheaper artcores arnt that great. but some of the higher end ones play beautifully

I use an S series and my old roomate did too.

i use an RG Series, its not great but its versatile and it sounds reasonable for Jazz. eventually i'd like to get a proper Jazz guitar, but for now im happy using my solid body or sometimes by telecoustic.

I use a RG350EX for most of my stuff because I don't [I]only[/I] play jazz. I'd like to get a decent nylon acoustic though.

I was torn between an ibanez and a schecter, but i went with the scecter for the same reasons. plus mine has a piezo in the bridge, so thats cool

Are Nylon String acoustics really jazz guitars? Because I do not think they are....

a lot of people on these forums seem to think so. probably because Amit has been talking so friggin much about it.jazzboxes and steel string acoustics seem more usual to me.

Gypsy style ones are traditionally used in gypsy jazz. :thumb:

It has nothing to do with Amit.

those are Argentine strings.

[QUOTE]those are Argentine strings.[/QUOTE]Yup. Definately not nylon stringed. If someone wants to use an acoustic for jazz nylon strings aren't completley unsuitable, though.
