  Great points. Professionalism is a great thing to strive for. When you buy an instrument, you are not just buying the instrument, you're buying the seller. Unless you're buying a rare item, you can very likely acquire the same model instrument from various sellers. The seller you ultimately buy from will be one who makes you feel knowledgeable, confident, and comfortable. When I sell, I try to err on the side of *over*-communicating. I take a large number of high-quality photos, attempting to capture every part of the instrument. I make sure I have cleaned the instrument beforehand. I try to include sound clips demonstrating the function of the instrument across the entire fretboard, and if there are electronics, demonstrate they are properly functioning. I include as much personalized information I can, like my history with the instrument, why I am selling, how much play time the instrument has seen, whether it was taken out of the house, how it was stored in the house, how I will pack and ship, and so on. Also the serial number and key specifications of the instrument, and a link the to the official manufacturer's website listing all specs. All of these things instill confidence in potential buyers.

  You used to play a butterscotch Nash telecaster. You recently played a black Nash telecaster with a hum bucker in the neck position. Did you ditch the butterscotch telecaster?

  I've watched your video where you A/B your 175 and a Nash telecaster, and frankly I could not tell a difference. If there is, it is subtle. I am considering buying a Gibson ES-175 for that jazz sound, but it being a temperamental hollow body guitar with a floating bridge gives me pause. I am instead considering a Nash T-52 with a hum bucker pickup in the neck position. What are your thoughts on the 175 and the Nash telecaster for that jazz sound? BTW I enjoy watching your videos. I've learned a lot watching you play. Best wishes.

  You can't go wrong. My Nash Tele with a humbucker is my favorite solid body for Jazz. My 175 is the quintessential jazz box...it is NOT temperamental and can be played at high volumes. If you come across a good 175 buy it...they are harder to find then a good tele with a humbucker.

  Never were truer words spoken.... I play everything - including jazz - on an HSS Aria strat, into a small'ish Orange combo - and I play with EB Super Slinkies (9-42)... and get a tone I like, sometimes even using my Cube Baby when I want something a bit harder for the blues!

  Every bit as good as the Martin, except with the Eastman sound. It's not trying to sound like a Martin, just as Taylor or Collings aren't trying to sound like a Martin. Except the Eastman is much more affordable.

  I consider myself one lucky owner of Blueridge BR 160A. I remember 5 years ago, I went to my local store, tried all types of guitar within a range at least 1000€ higher than the BR 160A, and they sounded like garbage against it. I went to another store, where the owner makes his own guitars. I was interested in one of his guitars, and bought it, but asked him for advice on the BR 160A, and he was like impossible that this guitar has this material and is well made. I borrowed the guitar from the other store, and they only had one. He tried it and said if I don't buy it then he would. The interesting part is that the Martin it compared against is Martin D28, which was literally 4x the price. Crazy! If you compare it with any Martin of a lower price than the Martin D28, the BR 160A easily wins the competition. What is even more interesting is that some BR 160A sound better than some Martin D28. So, when you compare them, depends on your luck how good each one is. But the fact that these two instruments are so close in sound and playability, as well as material used, is absolutely insane considering the 1 to 4 price difference.

  Ha Ha... "Mr. Music"... or... the "Blue" pick sounded best to me... but... I find it is the "Pick" that feels most comfortable for the style of playing, either strumming or picking.. that matters most... Yup... Have a matchbox full of picks... Mostly... use my fingers though... Best "Pick" I have... was embedded into the concrete by a bus-stop... just like King Author's Sword in the Stone... There were scorch marks on the ground around it and I suppose it travelled for years amongst the Stars and fell through Space and tore through Earth's atmosphere in fiery splendor... Nearly burnt my fingers 'picking' it up ! 🥳...

  G'Day... You have a nice 'touch' to your playing... However... I do not play any form of Jazz... and yet I have two gorgeous Archtops... one with a single humbucker and another with two humbuckers... Also have a few Acoustics and a few Electric/Acoustics., all sounding different tones for various reasons... I fortunately started playing on Dad's Archtop in my teens (1960's) and did not switch on to friend's solid-body guitars. Since then have owned an ES-339., Les Paul and a Strat ... which are all now deliberately "Gone with the Wind" ! To me (?) an Archtop is an Electric Guitar (if it has pick-ups) and the Tones cannot be replicated with solid-body guitars... Along with a good Amp (?) what more could you want ! Cheers ! 🤠

  Not only are "They" not as good, as a player I think you bond with certain guitars differently. An expensive guitar will build a different bond with you as you get to know it.

  IMO: Every guitar I have (and would choose to have) makes a different sound AND has a different feel in my hands. The combination of the scale length, woods, and pickups in electric (and acoustic) make a different sound and feel. A boutique guitar is less likely to have problems with cheaper tuners, bridges, saddles, nuts, etc. - and it is enjoyable to not need to work as hard to keep it in tune and get a clear tone. It saves time and effort. It is a luxury - one I have not always been able to afford. I come from a long line of woodworkers, understand electrical circuits and impedance from college study, learned to solder, and have played and listened to music for over 40 years. The guitars I play at gigs are nice guitars with known name brands. Reliable. However, I have used my skills and knowledge to build guitars with different woods/pickup types/scale lengths to have guitars that make different sounds and feel different in my hands. It is a hobby that piques my interest and inspires my playing. I build guitars for friends I play with in a way that I believe will bring out what I see and hear as the best in them - making a tool to do what they do best and emphasize that. Like building a cabinet specifically for a person for the things they store inside - and how they like to organize/use it. Each is different because certain things they do should really shine. Each person’s playing comes from a different sensibility and perspective. It is putting a tool in their hands that I think they will be able to easier hit the home run without them needing to change their swing. But knowing their strengths (from friendship and playing together) takes many years and paying close attention. Buying a boutique guitar would take searching. I prefer making one knowing the qualities I believe it should have for the situation. I could have a great luthier do it, but it is very expensive, would require great explanation/communication, and it would be less personal depriving that connection with them. “This is what I see and hear as what you do best.” That is the message.
