  • Fender Telecaster Custom Electric Guitar
  • Big Ear Pedals Woodcutter

Yup comletly agree!

i prefer the double cut or no cut for semi hollows but that guitar is absolutely stunning the only gibson ive ever played was a lp special with p90's so i cant talk to how it feels

I'm sure it kills, gibson doesn't make any mediocre jazz boxes... these guitars are not marked up for name recognition, they really are very well crafted factory guitars and a ton of hand work and attention to detail goes into them on a level you're not getting from a run of the mill LP, SG or even a 335. I've played a lot of these various ES jazz guitars and I've always been way into them. Personally I'm more of a straight ahead ES-175 guy... or the double-cutaway Barney Kessel (or the rarer still Trini Lopex Deluxe that's a Kessel with the trini diamond cutouts and the firebird headstock.... HOT)... but the 275 is a beast too. But I do like the L5 too and this new 275 is very L5ish. Kinda thinner like a 330 and its plywood, pressed top, not carved I guess. That's msot ES models though. Nothing wrong with that despite what the purists say about plywood jazz boxes.

GEAR:
  • Roland Juno-6
  • Gibson SG Standard
  • Vox AC30 Guitar Combo Amp
