Traditional jazz guitarist favor(ed) a number of Gibson hollowbody models, most notably the ES-175 and L-5 (not L-5S). There are many lower cost clones of these, as well as pricier signature models.

Modern hollows considered good trad jazz guitars include the Hofner Jazzica and President, Ibanez Pat Metheny and George Benson models. More affordable options are Epiphones such as the Emperor Regent (IIRC, similar to Joe Pass model) and the Ibanez Artcore line. That said, almost every type of guitar has been used by jazzers, from the Telecaster and Tele Thinline to the semihollows (ES-135 or 137, ES-335, Epi "Dot") to Strats and Les Pauls and SGs. Use what works for you.]]> Guitar Players Discussion gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/anyone-know-a-widenecked-electric-guitar/#post-97854 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/anyone-know-a-widenecked-electric-guitar/#post-97808 Mon, 11 Apr 2005 04:51:57 +0000 Exaggerating? Yes.
The point is that most modern guitars have "C" shaped necks. This is a farily flat, narrow neck. An older design, called a "U" shaped neck, has a more classical feel to it. My suggestion would be to go somewhere with a lot of old guitars, and try to find one with a massive neck, because they are out there.]]> Guitar Players Discussion xg5a https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/anyone-know-a-widenecked-electric-guitar/#post-97808 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/anyone-know-a-widenecked-electric-guitar/#post-97791 Mon, 11 Apr 2005 02:24:26 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion paul donnelly https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/anyone-know-a-widenecked-electric-guitar/#post-97791 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/anyone-know-a-widenecked-electric-guitar/#post-97759 Sun, 10 Apr 2005 20:44:43 +0000 http://www.benedettoguitars.com/]]> Guitar Players Discussion yoyo286 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/anyone-know-a-widenecked-electric-guitar/#post-97759 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/anyone-know-a-widenecked-electric-guitar/#post-8349 Sun, 10 Apr 2005 19:46:49 +0000
