I’ve been the proud owner of this beautiful’63 for about 10 years now and hardly used it outside my house. But, a big inspiration listening to Jim Mullen support Georgie fame with a full 16 piece band at Ronnie Scott’s this week has lit the flame for acoustic sounding jazz guitar again! Jim plays thumb.. not a Wes clone in any way, but that tone!! So new strings (chrome 12’s), fiddle a bit with set up, and into my Vibrolux… heaven! Got this guitar from Nationwide with the Pat no. Gibson pu showing about 7.8 k. Someone did this replacement well.. too bad, but it really works. I have a spare neck position HB1.. thinking of a replacement for Gibson. Does anyone know this guitar from its American years? Hans said it was one of a batch of 6 done in ‘63. Beautifully narrow at 3” tapering a fraction on forward bout.
