Second Hand Washburn J5 Hollow Body Tobacco Sunburst Electric Guitar

From the early days of jazz during the 1920’s and 1930’s, Chicago has played an integral role in the development of sophisticated jazz music. With the near immediate embrace of its first jazz clubs and speakeasies, Chicago has given jazz players and fans alike a place to celebrate their music and lifestyle for more than 75 years.

When it comes to great jazz music, no other instrument allows the jazz musician to improvise at will like the hollowbody electric guitar. The hollowbody often fits into its own sub-category in the world of electric guitars. It gives players a fat, warm, resonant tone that allows for one to phrase chords, play fluid lead lines and voice percussive rhythms. When it comes to their guitars, jazz cats turn to their weapon of choice: The Jazz Box.

The Jazz Box is a guitar with smooth tone, liquid-like playability and true elegance in both sound and looks. Washburn Jazz Boxes are no exception to this rule. With their hollowbodies, vintage finishes, and rosewood fingerboards, Washburn Jazz Boxes give the player a brilliant tool for both sonic structure and improvisation. With the J5 TS model, Washburn gives the jazz guitar player a stunning instrument.
