Sorry to be away for so long. We are so busy getting our boat ready to sail to the Caribbean. Soon there will be time to play and learn and back to you and your great site. Best to you. Mike Walker
In order to decide if an ES 150 is a guitar to play blues or jazz on you should ask guys like Kirk Fletcher or Duke Robillard. The 150 is very versatile.
A guy named Sleepy LaBeef used to play one for his rockabilly/blues/jump jazz , but @Rich I think you're right it sounds amazing for jazz,but that's probably because you're playing it and excellent as always. I think it's the full hollow body like the Gibson es 330 and Epiphone Casino guitars . The full hollow body adds some "air" that rounds off the note attack . We used to have a band that played Americana , rockabilly, swing and Texas swing and I always preferred a hollow body over the semi-hollow guitars. I would love to have one of these or a Barney Kessel for the double cutaway. I think a good modification for the pickups would be Gibson P94 pickups for extra bite.
Rich, thank you for your channel, I really enjoy checking in, it’s a great channel. I’ve never progressed to more than playing for pleasure on my own at home and never had lessons, simply self taught, but I’m really liking guitar jazz and think it would add to the pleasure of guitar playing if I can master it ! I’ve just purchased an Eastman AR372 ( replica of the Gibson ES 175 as you know) sim going to give it my best. Thanks again Rich. Chris UK

Lovely jazzin' and you will probably forget more book/charts than I'll ever know. However..... _you're not playing Blues with your thumb waaay back there, mister!_ Wrap it over and dig IN!!!
This is a very interesting guitar. How is that master volume wired? Does it suck tone and cut top end like some Gretschs? Or it has a treble bleed on the master volume?

That’s a great guitar! I only use it for jazz!
Days of wine and roses….beautiful sound, beautifully played!
Gaining mastery of suspense at the beginning there :D

Yes great sound
Superb sound.

What backing tracks are those?
All guitars are better when jazz is played on them. 😂😂😂
