What is the best jazz guitar neck pickup?
JoeT asked:
I am customizing a guitar with a lot of different tones, but the most important one is the jazz neck pickup - I want that mellow, chimey, bell-like jazz guitar sound, primarily for solo jazz. I am currently using a dearmond jazz pickup in the neck, and it sounds pretty darn good. I am wondering if Gibson Classic 57’s or another jazz pickup would work even better. Eager to hear thoughts and/or suggestions.

What instrument is better to play jazz, the guitar or saxophone?
Joshua asked:
I like them both, and I can already play the guitar pretty well, but I love jazz music, and all my favorite players are horn and sax players (besides drums and bass of course). I just don’t know if the electric guitar fits into modern jazz very well, free jazz and stuff like that.
