SATCHMO

Because Heavy Metal is the way little boys help themselves deal with the hormonal upheaval that causes them to hump their pillows in the middle of the night. Seriously, I love Metal to death (pun intended). I just know that Die-hard metal heads are the fundamentalists of the music world, so I feel the need to try to piss them off whenever I can.

You keep pissin' those metalheads off

Wow, thats pathetic.


As for threadstarter - Don't just look at gibsons. Particularly because their quality control is all over the place and you could very well end up with a total lemon unless you play hundreds and find a really good one.

Ibanez makes some most excellent guitars right now, they'd be my first choice.

Go down to your local shop and pick out some guitars you like the look of, regardless of brand, and play them. You may also be surprised at how good solid body guitars are for jazz, so don't just limit yourself to semi hollows like the 335.

For an example, my S2170FW is a solid body mahogany guitar, but its pretty much the most versatile guitar I've ever played, and jazz happens to be one of the places where it shines most
