STORK-JAZZ SUGIMOTO<\/h3>\n\n
\n \"STORK-JAZZ\n <\/figure>\n\n
\n

What I like about STORK-JAZZ in terms of sound and playability The sound is fat and mild, which is ideal. I think it has a slightly acoustic sound for an electric guitar, perhaps because I haven’t added a rear pickup or tone control.<\/p>\n

The guitar body, including the neck, is sturdy. I travel a lot by plane on tour, so this sturdiness really helps. I accidentally dropped it on the hard floor of a concert hall, and although it got a few scratches, the neck didn’t shake a bit. It is lightweight. I am very happy with the lightness of the neck, as I play for more than 2 hours on stage. I play jazz, R&B, rock, and many other genres of music, so this guitar is ideal for me.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n
