He would have disagreed, SingingSparrow - he was a jazz player. I never heard him play, but a lot of jazz players of that era, probably most, liked that plinkety-plink sound that archtops are noted for all over and other guitars do when you play them up the neck. Not a sound I ever cared for. If I want to play up the neck I'll play an electric, 'coz electrics are good at it.
