Epiphone

Description

From the beautifully inlaid headstock to the "Frequensator" split-trapeze tailpiece, the Broadway Hollowbody electric guitar has been part of Epiphone's line of guitars since it was first introduced in 1931. Aimed at working jazz musicians, the Broadway is one of the quintessential examples of what a "jazz box" should be, with great sound, quality material and fine workmanship. Loaded with new Alnico Classic humbuckers and equipped with classic Grover Rotomatic tuning machines, the Broadway is a solid platform for serious jazz, from grooving to bopping to just tearing up the fingerboard.

    Stock pickups are surprisingly good but I would upgrade to Seymour Duncan Seth Lovers or 59s. The tone will scare you then. (Unless you want a dark more electric tone then don't bother). Get a tune-o-matic bridge also. The nut can be filed down a decent amount to improve the action and don't be afraid to lighten up the gauge of strings, especially the low ones because the long scale will maintain the overall tension. Maybe like 12-16-20-28-38-48 flats. The large body has very smooth acoustic tone, not boxy like the Joe Pass tends to be. Solid feeling neck. You'll love it once it's set up right. No need to pay Gibson 10 grand for a nice jazz box.
