We're making some Jazz GUitar Solo Accompaniment Jazz Guitar styles. We have 2 choices of guitar to use - a "Solidy Body" or a Archtop (Super400). This would be a solo guitar style, to backup a singer or sax player etc. Please have a listen to the sample, and place your vote in this thread Solid Body (Roadstar) (example #1 on the demo) Archtop Super 400 (example #2 on the demo) http://nn.pgmusic.com/pgfiles/jazzu/misc/2_Guitars_Ballad_060_Sample.mp3To vote, just reply with the words "Solid Body (Roadstar)" or "Archtop (Super 400)" near the top, along with any comments that you have.
Have Fun!

Archtop (Super 400) gets my vote. Especially for backing up a singer.

I do prefer the Super 400; it sounds more subtle to me.

I prefer the sound of the Solid Body because of the better defined bass notes.
Bass notes sounds a little muddy on the archtop.
Looking forward to try these realtracks!

Not an electric guitar player, but reminds me of a Joe Pass sound. Humm...
Best of all and hope your day is a nice one
