I say why not. A good player can do a heck of a lot with a solid right hand technique.

If Ed Bickert can do it on one of these I think a H525 should work just fine...

You will get more replies if you post questions like this in the family tree. Good luck with getting a good guitar, I know a jazz player who makes a telecaster sound fantastic.

I would say it's ideal. Many of the 1950's jazz guitarists used ES175's with P90's ( check out Kenny Burrell's early stuff), and sound fantastic.I have used a Gibson ES225 in the past,and that sounded great,although it's a thin body.I currently use a stock H 575,strung with Ernie Ball .012" - .054",set no.2206.Sounds great to me through any tube amp,and even my Fender London reverb,solid state.
