Purchased from Alistairs Music in Cuba Street Wellington.

Sounds great, easy to play (even though I can't play Jazz) and looks loverly.

Looks awesome! Can't find much online. Do you know much about the specs?

[Dano_NZ]

I do robthemac. Pressed solid spruce top, laminate maple back and sides, maple neck, ebony fret board. Poly finish, MIJ 2002. Apparently a cut above the recent Korean models.

Thanks! Looks like a 17 inch lower bout with a reasonably shallow body?

[Mini Forklift]

[Slowy]

So much bling! What's it like unplugged?

isn't the point of the pickup position a big part of the "jazz" tone? acoustically it will sound like a hollowbody guitar (so a little boxy) but once plugged in it will have a muffled sound

But it does look frikken cool

All true.
But some pay staggering sums to get exactly that. Don't understand jazz guitar at all. But it still looks so cool.

totally agree ... I would totally rock one of these from an aesthetics point but the tone would make me

Nice. When do the EMGs go in?

Unplugged pretty sweet, better acoustic tone than many I've played including vintage models.
