The Loar LH-700 VS

it's very little money for what you end up with, after receiving the guitar it needs a initial setup to get it play well you can do without this, this will build character and a understanding off the difficult/painful face expressions that you see with (unless you play in front off a mirror) other players.
The face thing is however not primarily a jazz thing and since this is primarily a jazz guitar a professional first set up is sincerely advised.
Don't get me wrong the guitar is GREAT BANG for the money and sound wise on par with all the great brands.
