| I couldn't resist featuring the latest
custom 'GB Model' from the workshop of Douglas Harrison.
This has to be THE most successful hybrid design of jazz guitar I have
ever had the pleasure of playing!
This particular guitar was a special order
from a customer who requested a GB with details to match his existing
full sized 17" Harrison. This exquisite instrument features
a fully chambered and contoured flamed maple body, hand carved and
graduated spruce top, abalone bound peghead/fingerboard/body,
ebony tailpiece, ebony finger-rest and ebony floating bridge!
I can't even come close to describing
the experience of playing this instrument. The neck shape,
body contours and precision fretwork make this guitar an absolute joy to
play! Plug this instrument in and blend a little of the active
piezo bridge pickup into the warm neck humbucker and you get a vibrant
jazz tone that is not only remarkably expressive, but dynamically HUGE!!! |
