Need A Round Sounding Jazz Guitar To Model My Build After.

[Kemp Williams]

Hey,

I'm looking for a nice warm, round jazz tone, but i think starting out building an archtop guitar is a little up there for me. Does anyone know what kinds of solid-bodies can get close to that George Benson style tone? any help would be much appreciated. thanx,

Kemp

If you're not going archtop, you need to rely on the pickup. Have a listen to the Gibson '59. The GFS Fat PAF are good value for a round warm tone.

You could also try using flatwound strings.

Cheers,

Brian.
