    Absolute command of the fingerboard! When Jonathan plays, it's a lesson in both technique and musicality. Stunning guitar!

    This is exactly why we tune in and here you go doing it again, thank you Jonathan, you've elevated what became something of a mid-week slump for me and made Wednesday really rather special and thank you Norman, for picking out such a gorgeous instrument and making this happen, it is very, very much appreciated. 😎❤

    Can't believe how clean he's playing all the way up the neck and without a cutaway. Something to aspire to.

    I really appreciate Mr. Stout's playing. He certainly takes us back to that era. Thank you!

    1950 was of course beyond the acoustic archtop's heyday, particularly a non-cutaway example, so it's great to see this one. Charlie Christian most notably ushered in the age of the electric archtop and electric guitar in general. Jonathan draws his inspiration primarily from Allan Reuss, the Benny Goodman band's '35-'38 guitarist (my favourite), as well as George Van Eps, Dick McDonough and a few others of the earlier days of the Swing Era. They tended to solo (when they got the chance!) in a chordal style, and, as Norm discusses here, the acoustic archtop's design enabled them to cut through the sound of a band with, say, 5-7 brass and 4-5 reeds. Jonathan is without peer in the Allan Reuss style -- he's got that vocabulary down pat!

    John Monteleone's Radio Flyer Guitars are amazing. Absolutely beautiful tone.

    These Gibson guitars of this era a truly some of the best ever made. Back in the early seventies I traded a 62 strat and a 64 335 for a thirties L5 as a present for my brother. Seems like a bad deal moneterly now but I'm sure these classic Gibson archtops will be recognised in future for the great guitars they are.

    This era's Super 400 was the pinnacle of Gibson's craft. The guys who worked on these guitars were the best of the best. And they were extremely expensive in their day.

      @@djavidianmx1832 True, but compare them to the prices of the '50s Les Pauls which were much cheaper than the Super 400 when new.

    Back in late August 1998, my father, a friend of ours and I went to a Jazz concert in Central Park at an outdoor theater produced by Quincy Jones. The only time a guitar player could be seen on the stage was at the end when the Count Basie Orchestra performed. He was "stuck in" near the brass players if memory serves, and he wasn't featured. (My friend said that the guitar wasn't a featured aspect of Jazz from within the time slice they were tributing at this show.) Possibly, he was playing one of these blonde Gibson archtops.

    No pickups, no overdrive, but very nice sound. We could listen to it for hours without getting tired of it. The problem is that the player is not sold with the guitar 😂

    Would love to see a direct comparison between a Gibson Super 400 and an Epiphone Emperor. I have a 1945 Epi and '39 Gibson L5. The Epi has a fuller tone and the Gibson is more treblely.

    Really enjoyed listening. Love the old archtops, but would need to dust off some serious cobwebs and take a few lessons - lol! That's a beautiful old Gibson. Why don't they build guitars like that anymore? - How much is being missed? Ha! - if I ever visited down there you'd never get me out of there! Norm would have to renegotiate the deal. Jonathan did a great job - Thank you for sharing.

    Fortunately, there are great old Gibson archtops out there like this one. Unfortunately, Gibson has abandoned archtops, which they invented and popularized, and which changed music.
