By then, however, the New York City-via-Santa Rosa, California, guitarist had already lived multiple musical lives. A child prodigy, Lage was the subject, at the tender age of eight, of an Oscar-nominated documentary short, aptly titled Jules at Eight. " - Rolling Stone

    Having never really enjoyed those jazz guitar sounds coming from the various approaches pioneered by jim Hall/Wes Montgomery/Joe Pass, and having listen to Lage's work on Telecaster, coupled with the amazing tone/virtuosity of Ted Greene, I have to say that I think the Telecaster is the ideal jazz guitar for the smoothest and most pleasant tone.

      +VonBluesman I'm not sure how useful you'll find that information but its a fender telecaster. A pretty modern looking one, should be similar to what you'd see on fender's own site. Owning that guitar won't make you play like Julian Lage if that's what you're thinking.
      I'd recommend practicing, that helps.

      @VonBluesman 8 років тому

      Thanks but that is not what I am thinking, I am Berklee School Of Music alumni, a studio musician, a guitar teacher, and used to play out for a living. I just wanted the neck specks. Myself, I own four Fender Custom Shop Tele's, a 57 Gold Thinline blonde neck, 63 Muddy Waters reissue red with a rosewood neck, La Cabronita Especial Relic with TV Jones pickups black with blonde neck, 51 Nocaster Reissue Dakota red, Relic, with a blonde neck. I do agree with you about practice, it is the only way to get better.
