I'll see if they have the SA500 in stock - if so, I'll do a recce and let you know what I find ...]]> Guitar Players Discussion PVTele https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/semi-hollowbodies/paged/2/#post-148701 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/semi-hollowbodies/paged/2/#post-148651 Mon, 02 Jan 2006 23:45:36 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/semi-hollowbodies/paged/2/#post-148651 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/semi-hollowbodies/paged/2/#post-148645 Mon, 02 Jan 2006 23:23:51 +0000
I grant you the small frets on the AS73/83 - but I could live with them I think.

Just spotted the SA500 on the Yamaha site, and looking it up, you can get them for under £300 - a third of the price of the SA2200. Ever tried one, Grey? Any good? (There's not a Yamaha main dealer near here to try one out ...)]]> Guitar Players Discussion PVTele https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/semi-hollowbodies/paged/2/#post-148645 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/semi-hollowbodies/paged/2/#post-148643 Mon, 02 Jan 2006 23:09:00 +0000 But I still like my Washburn HB35.....]]> Guitar Players Discussion greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/semi-hollowbodies/paged/2/#post-148643 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/semi-hollowbodies/#post-148642 Mon, 02 Jan 2006 22:57:50 +0000
Grey, if you check John Scofield's website http://www.johnscofield.com/equip.html what he actually plays is an old (now discontinued) AS200. The signature model is the JSM100, of which Scofield himself writes, “When Ibanez wanted to reintroduce my original AS200 guitar with the original specs they had to fly me to the Ibanez R&D facility in L.A., where detailed measurements were taken of every conceivable dimension. This became the basis for the JSM John Scofield model, which reproduced the original guitar plus added some improvements such as a side-mounted jack."

But the AS73 and AS83 (the '83 has a flamed sycamore top, the '73 ordinary maple) are lovely guitars - IMHO much better than the Epi's, and they sell for around £300 (more or less according to exact spec.) in the UK. Not cheap cheap, but real bargains for the quality.

At the time I got mine I was working in Germany but I purchased it in the US on vacation. By the time customs police at the Frankfurt airport were done with me it was quite a bit more expensive. But that's a different story.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Gump https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/semi-hollowbodies/#post-148630 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/semi-hollowbodies/#post-148394 Mon, 02 Jan 2006 02:33:43 +0000
My favorite reference, by the way, for Beatles' instruments is Beatle Gear by Andy Babiuk of Guitar Player Magazine.

I also recommend this website, Fab Guitars of the Beatles. It seems to be a reliable and well researched site.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Musenfreund https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/semi-hollowbodies/#post-148394 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/semi-hollowbodies/#post-148385 Mon, 02 Jan 2006 01:44:47 +0000 While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Billy Preston often played keyboards for them, most notably, of course on various songs on the Let It Be album.

If you take time to read album notes, you'll find a lot of guest musicians about. Back in the sixties, though, many record companies didn't give them credits for the songs they played on.

Peace And i was thinking paul did it...i was so impressed :oops:]]> Guitar Players Discussion Anonymous https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/semi-hollowbodies/#post-148385 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/semi-hollowbodies/#post-148358 Mon, 02 Jan 2006 00:21:10 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/semi-hollowbodies/#post-148358 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/semi-hollowbodies/#post-148353 Mon, 02 Jan 2006 00:16:19 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/semi-hollowbodies/#post-148353
