pompous mathafucka. Wes Montgomery could just borrow a guitar and do a live gig and it wouldnt matter. Pffff..

Anyone relates to the early habit of fighting your instrument? (but later thru the years retire towards the opposite) I play a Tele and its not all that uncomfortable but it does keep me aware of its "existence" so to speak... Mr Kessel at the end tells how when you forget about the instrument and can concentrate on playing music.

"And how do you feel playing that guitar? Well pretty much like being in heaven"

@ciaputa Orville Gibson himself wanked and came in the neck mortise before they glued it up.

A Jewish southerner who plays black music like genius. What a beautiful world.

Love Barney Kessel, but here he demonstrated some "Instrument Voo-Doo Affliction" . The whole spiel about the pickups- materials no longer available i the world, etc- that just isn't true. I suppose it's human nature to want to believe we're special, that we have things that no one else has... Barney's genius came from Barney. The guitar meant very little. He proved this many times when he played other guitars.

Man, I wonder where that guitar is today? What a jazz players dream guitar. I remember reading that after Django's death,his wife had given Les Paul one of his guitars. I bet it would go for more than Claptons 'Blackie' or an EVH Frankenstein combined. I bet there is someone out there that would pay over a million or more for Barneys guitar.

A real Jazz musician of a mould no longer made or at least barely seen. Touch, feel, expression and tones like cream.
