I had a Heritage 575 that I loved. Financial woes caused me to have to sell it. I'd love to get another one someday.
I preferred it to the Gibson 175 I used to have.

I really like Victor Baker's archtops.

Livingston's list includes some of the finest examples of jazz boxes around. In my younger days when I took myself and my music more seriously I used a Benedetto for my jazz gigs. Today, I actually use a Taylor 414 with a Rare Earth humbucker or a Rickenbacker 360 with flat wounds for jazz work. I think any guitar will do if you have the chops to make it happen. Alot of jazz players today use a hybrid like a 335 with flats due to it's ability to create so many different tones. In addition, don't discount the many inexpensive jazz boxes being sold. With a good set up and minor adjustments some are real players. Good luck in your quest!

Nonetheless, it's fun to play and look at those beautiful high end guitars.

I purchased my ES-137 Custom because of it's versatility. Between the '57 Classic humbuckers and varitone 6 position switch I can cover a lot of ground, It was also reasonably priced.

I had an Ibanez Byrdland copy that I let a guy talk me into selling to him. I charged him double what I paid. In retrospect, he got a bargain!
