Wayne K. Eastman Jazz 16

Lou,

I’ve been meaning to email you earlier, but have been pretty busy– playing that Jazz 16!  I can’t put it down.  Wow, it’s like nothing I’ve played before and I’ve played almost everything for the last 35 years.

I’m not a Jazz player per se, but a generalist and play many styles of music. I don’t know how you decided to build that thing, but I can do anything on that except for extreme string bending.  I have Rivera amp and I can go from “Wes” style Sunny to Hopkins Blues, to finger picking North Country Girl to Hendrix – Wind Cry’s Mary with out touching my amp – It all sounds great!  I wanted a great jazz guitar, but I got a great guitar period!

That pickup is heaven.  I love the weight and the craftsmanship is stellar.  I love the way you can tell it’s hand made – I used to be a wood worker and you can see and feel the hands on this guitar.

Thank you for the guitar, great setup and safe shipping.   And the ebony knobs and tuners look beautiful.

I’ll pass on my experience I’ve had with you whenever I can and I wish you the best.
Wayne K.
