Jazz Box Suggestions
So I have been learning some Wes Montgomery stuff the last few weeks with my teacher and find I really love trying to play that stuff. It also has got me itching for a hollow body jazz box. At one time I would have considered a ES175 but economics have now put that price range out of reach so I have been looking at the Epiphone Emperor model line. I also like the Swingster version of this guitar. So my first question is, does anyone have experience with either of these models and if so, will they meet the needs for what I want. I also wanted to know if anyone can suggest any other makes/models that are in this price range (300-500) that would also fit the bill.
