Its friggin too funny! 😆 The Senior Living Facility For Aging Guitar Heroes. 🤣

BB was playing a ES-355 .

@@Bobby007D BBking was playing Lucille. The ES355 has fholes

Rockabilly comes right from jazz... And if you can't play the blues you can't play jazz. In fact, Brian Setzer can play jazz. Check him out on sleepwalk. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e9WjnZZ-uqqWh3k.html

@@Wyrdo999 Where did you see that Sleepwalk was jazz music . It's just Instrumental slow rock. Santo and Johnny were playing surf , easy listening, ou rock music, not Jazz at all . Ok Brian can play jazz, and country, and blues, and metal . He can play everything . But he's not a specific jazz player .

@@janficox5686 Sleepwalk has been covered by MANY jazz artists, its considered a standard, and it has been a song in the "REAL BOOK" since Its first publication.

Yep, probably THE standard jazz box that all others compare to. (Though Jim Hall switched to his D'Angelico New Yorker a long time ago, and I think also has played some other custom boxes.)

rankings huh?

Animal on drums

But gretschs still good

@@mikarrrrrrgh1969 Not for jazz it ain't

@@deadmanprodinc yes ,thats true!!!

@pavielikesleche definetly not Whats going on there lol he just sucks

Be good if you could somehow put it up on KZfaq

Love my 1996 reissue. Really impressed with the good tone and how well it plays, and the price is very reasonable. If considering, look for serial numbers that start with R, which designates it was made in the Peerless factory in Korea. This is where the best crafted guitars (reissues in particular) from Southeast Asia are made. Peerless made guitars will probably have a premium on them someday, if not already.

Maybe #1 blues guitar not jazz. Most guys play hollow body. Some play a 335 but that’s a minority .es 175 and Gibson L5 have to be at the top of a long list.

Although BB King has played all 335, 345, 355, the Lucille is a variant of the ES-355, not the 335

A real player would say to play whatever you're most comfortable with . None of the instruments in the video were ,1 of a kind , hand made Jazz box . There are a lot of really crazy new guitars out there now !!!

@@Bobby007D benedetto is hand made isn't it? Apparently they are handcrafted by jazz guitarists for jazz guitarists

@@jadenphilander8799 Not all of them . Only the one's that Robert builds.

@@Bobby007D Thank you for educating me sir. I always thought that they are all handcrafted.

@@jadenphilander8799 I believe that the term "one of a kind , handmade " would infer that the instrument was built by one man.

He da man. Saw him live back in the early '80's. I was in the 4th row on the main aisle seat. After the show when he walked down the ramp and aisle, during the standing ovation, I shook his hand. I wouldn't wash my hand for a week after that, hoping it'd make me a better player. :-)

BB is the King of the Blues (pun intended), but this list is just one person's opinion. And the 355 listed with BB is very close to the 335. I'm not really sure how they reached these conclusions, but there are definitely some unusual guitarists portrayed for a "jazz" list. Brian Setzer, for instance, is a fabulous guitarist and can play some jazz when he wants, but he's known as a rockabilly player and is playing some bluesy stuff in the Lightnin' Hopkins vein in that clip. And the last clip of Wes playing "Windy" is just strange.

I agree. I was following along until I saw that. No excuse.

Actually it was listed a ES-355 not a 335, either way i thought "Lucille" was a 345 lol, and BB King was more Blues than Jazz anyway lol.

Like comparing saxophones : The player and the mouthpiece make 70% of the sound. For the rest, the sax should be exempt of air leak & well tuned, that's all. Concerning the guitars, the hollow body adds something to the sound though. Something that you cannot imitate with a solid body, whatever the amp & setting. Provided the player knows how to sound jazz, this is true. (A rock player would not make you hear any difference)

Tim Rule yes Guild I’m agree

It 's not the guitar that plays jazz...it's the player. George Benson could make any of these sound like a jazz guitar.

BB played a Non F hole 355 model w/ Binding on neck and headstock, 345 s don't have bound headstock
