what are some of the types of guitars and amps used by jazz musicians?

Question

in other words, what are some ways that i can get a "jazz sound"

Answer 1

u can get it wit almost any guitar.... but Fender Strats are really good for jazz.... check out line 6 amps... they usually have some good jazz settings

Answer 2

Exactly like jazz. you have to try in any store an acoustic amp,playing any Hallow body electric guitar.

Try either a Fender,or Roland amp. Guitars are many on the market, I leave it up your budget.

Answer 3

I use several guitars and only two amps..

I use my Archtops(Guild and Gibson) and I have a custom Telecaster that was set up for jazz,but lighter gauge strings. Incredible sound. For amps I have a Roland and a Fender Twin.

Answer 4

Vintage Gibson L-5 and vintage Polytone amp.

Those are what I would use If I had the money to buy them. I got a chance to borrow them and use to play live and record on a CD and holy crap did it sound great.



Hollow-body guitars are good for some types of Jazz, but depending on your style you can play almost any guitar and amp combo and make it sound good.

Answer 5

Buncha' good guitars. I understand the Epiphone semi hollow is good for the money. For an amp you can't go better than a Fender Twin Reverb. I just bought my second one. Love it.
