It was traded to [Eb] me towards one of my guitars and I never understood why [D] people like to
put acoustic like _ [A] strings on these things.
[Gb] I guess some people like that, I don't.
[F] But _ [D] rather than restring it for a video and then restring it again for whoever buys it,
I'm just doing [A] the video with these strings which still sound good. _ _ _
_ And tone wise, it's a [Bb] jazz guitar. _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
It's not going to be super [C] versatile.
I can show you some different stuff with the tone.
This [Bbm] is the tone all the way up.
_ _ [C] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [F] _ [C] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _
[A] Halfway down.
[D] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [G] _ [C] _ _ [Dm] _ [Cm] _
_ And then, _ [E] I don't like to put it all the [Dm] way down.
It sounds cool at low volumes if you're just in your house or [F] something.
But when you get on a gig, if you're used to that sound, it sounds like you're underwater.
And you will not cut through.
It'll just [Eb] be mud.
So, yes, it sounds nice [Db] and mellow. _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [F] _ _
[Fm] _ _ [F] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ [F] _
_ Actually, this one doesn't get muddy like most guitars do.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [D] _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ [D] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
The setup's decent.
I needed to do a little fret level.
It was a little _ [Ab] typical _ [A] _ [F] Chinese [E] fret.
Actually, I shouldn't say that.
It's _ better than typical [D] Chinese fretwork.
But it still left something to be desired.
So I [Gb] did a quick fret level on this thing.
[F] _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Dbm] _ _ [Db] _ [Dm] _ _ [Ebm] _ _
[Em] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ But for the money, I think it sells new for around [G] $800.
_ And I think this one_
[D] I guess I would say it's better than new because I had to do some setup work on it.
And I'm going to get these [Ab] shitty strings off it. _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] So I think I'm going to sell this [D] for under $600.
[G] So, it is a good deal if you need an inexpensive bar shop [C] that still has a pretty [Ebm] legitimate _
_ _ _ [N] jazz sound. _ _ _
[G] Thank you.
