Steiner Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 The 575 is a wonderful guitar! The chestnut sunburst if one of my favorites; I bet you too will like it. Congrats! Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ingeneri Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Congrats, the 575 is great. I usually prefer a bigger box like my Super Eagle. But I was playing Monk and Bird tunes on my 575 last night, and there is no finer guitar for bop. That 24.75" scale length just flies. You'll also find the carved top has resonence while the smaller depth helps reduce feed back. PS- I see you're from Baltimore. You should come down to the brunch gig I've got in DC sometime.

DCA Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Holding off on a guitar purchase is seldom a bad thing. In my experience, you know what you *really* want so you may as well wait a bit and satisfy yourself. I'm happy to hear that you did, but most of all, I'm glad to hear that you're happy with your decision. When I wrote my post in favor of the 535, I could feel that I was writing a defense for the 535. I'm glad to hear that you chose what you really wanted, and that's what matters. What a hadsome guitar! I'm sure you'll find it well worth the wait. Great buy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words about my playing. The brunch is indeed at Stars Bistro. The restaurant is at 2120 P Street, NW off of Dupont Circle, and we play from 11:00-2:30 every Saturday and Sunday (though I'll be off on vacation the first two weeks of September). Hope to see you there sometime, if you come be sure to introduce yourself. The tracks on the Myspace page were recorded a few years ago, in a freind's garage if you can believe it, using an Epiphone Emperor Regent modified with a Kent Armstrong floating pickup and a Fender DRRI amp. Here's a link to some more recent recordings using a Zoom H2, the first three tunes are with the 575, and the last two are with my Super Eagle. The amp on Back at the Chicken Shack is a Fender DRRI, everything else was on a Jazzkat. http://jazzguitarlife.ning.com/profile/MattIngeneri Thanks for liking my playing.

DCA Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Wow, perhaps we might form the Capitol Hill Chapter of the HOC . My job makes me a complete band flake, but I do make the rounds. I'm currently mostly with one of the Magpies...dude, it's Magpie. Okeydoke, have it your way. But I'm mostly concentrating on the Vulvic Shudders, as the name implies it's a chick group and I'm hanging around just as long as I can keep coming up with right hand stunts...they have me playing a Clayton .5mm. My days are numbered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
