Your playing was fantastic, as were most of the instruments, but that Douglas doesn't sound like it was meant to be played acoustic. It sounds like a quiet version of my Gretsch 5120, which isn't even a jazz guitar!
What do you think of the Epiphone's acoustic tone? Is it sufficiently loud? I recently had to sacrifice the only dreadnought I had, and need something that's loud but with a good jazz tone for a good price.
Great stuff, I was wondering about the douglas, do you think it can sound like the epiphone with different strings and bridge changed to a wooden instead of the metal /wood on there now?
@chordfinger1 ... It originally came with wooden bridge. I replaced it to hear the difference. I am not sure which one I like better. Strings are flat wound 12-52. It definitely sounds different than with 'regular' round wound strings. It never sounded like Emperor Regent but than it is significantly smaller and thinner guitar. I was not particularly impressed with acoustic sound. Keep in mind that Douglas costs less than 1/3 of Emperor Regent.
Liked the Epiphone and the Kay.

@blackmagswithcats it is great guitar. I was able to set very low action without any slightest buzz.
