Hey John, was thinking of one of these 6120 or 6119 Tennessee Rose, or even the 6118 Anniversary models , have yet to try, I really love the bright sparkly tones of Filtertrons and appreciate your description of how to use those unique tone/volume controls. One concern I have is the different type of necks on these 6120 / 6119 / 6118 models , and if possible to use tonally for straight jazz stuff - as compared to a ES 175 - you think its possible to get that jazz tone on a Gretsch ? Thanks !

George Van Eps used a Gretsch and he had great jazz tone. I think using heavy flatwound strings makes any guitar sound jazzy. 56 to 13s. Good luck with it.

hey bro i'm getting a guitar i have a chose of a ibanez artcore and this i like this better but what is better kind of guitar?

[johnhguitar]

The choice is yours. Both companies make good instruments. Pick the one that feels right after playing it.

Good luck.

My dad got one when he was 17 from a Sears and Roebuck catalog, he's now 60.

I love this guitar so much.

@stratocasterfranck Why?

[spanishnavax]

@johnhguitar Too bad guitar companies are not about what consumers like...

[stratocasterfranck]

@johnhguitar remember when you had to sell a guit in order to have another one... all the pride you had when playing your made in usa Fender or Gibby... the real deal!!
