Hello Community!
I have dabbled with acoustic guitar for a few years. I am wanting to explore jazz guitar. I am looking for a semi-hollow electric for jazz.
For various reasons, I have decided that I would like a Guild Starfire Newark Street. I am trying to avoid bigsby’s and whammy bars since jazz doesn't require them. I am concerned about "too much" feedback and "high fretwires"; I understand high fretwire is good for bends and vibrato, but I am looking for lower fretwire for easy of play and comfort. I am interested in buying new. Which guitar might be most suitable for jazz?
