NICE jazz box!! Who made it? How much? And how high is your G.A.S. investment in total?

Now you need to farkle that with a solid ebony bridge of the right height, properly intonated -- so you can transmit ALL of the sweet tone directly to the box without adulteration by the height screws.

And of course, if you can still find them, you gotta pick it with some agate picks (is Brasilia.com** still around?).

You're still riding the Feejer, right??

**EDIT for further enablement -- Brasilia.com is gone, but here's a couple sites:

I still have one of Brasilia's agate picks -- cool tone, damn expensive (but not close to as expensive as the custom built archtop jazz box I never bought). Had a virtuoso jazz guitar teacher who used them almost exclusively.

Never thought I'd enjoy someone complementing me on my box.

It's an Eastman John Pisano model. I actually traded evenly for a PRS Custom 22 20th Anniversary model that I never really played. The J.P. model normally costs $3,495. This one had two tiny blems from shipment and therefore got a much-reduced price, which brough it in line with the value of the PRS. I gots me quite a few other guitars; too many to list here, though. G.A.S. investment total is very difficult to figure, since I've been amassing things since high school. Still have my first guitar that Dad bought me at age 7 (a Giannini classical; and I'm almost 41 now.) However, I do have 6 guitars, 5 basses, 1 banjo and 4 amps and two bass cabs. Plus, the recording gear.

The Eastman's bridge is actually ebony (tailpiece, too, but it's farkled with other exotic wood trim) and it is the right height, but the bridge does look askew. However, the intonation is right on, so I won't mess with it, unless I restring it with Thomastik Infeld flatwounds.

hehehe -- I'm a recovering GAS-a-holic. down to 3 acoustics, 3 electrics, 1 bass, 2 amps, 2 bass cabs, 1 lap steel, 1 bass pre-amp, PA amp, 16 ch. mixer, ADAT, 3 mics, a dozen harps or so, and lots of other misc. small stuff. Really wish I still had the '66 Tele I sold to buy a '67 Mustang fastback, which I traded in on a new '73 Pinto wagon. Need to sell some of the extraneous stuff I never use anymore to finance part of my NAFO trip to Colorado this summer. Which brings me back to -- you bought an FJR didn't you?

Yup, I'm feejin'.
