Boy, that looks like my old JCH. Cherrywood and 9&7. Can you tell me from where/whom it was a acquired ?? If it was mine it was originally 2" taller than standard. Bob Brocius bought it from me a dropped it to standard or maybe even 1" below standard height. It had several owners after Bob, the last I knew of was Steve Morris of Amsterdam, NY.
Heck, all this raving and it probably was never mine. But from color to pickups to 9&7, it sure looks right. Jimmie also installed Emmons like switches and the knob between the necks as I was a long time Emmons player. I see these in the photo. Early on, when he built a guitar for me he was using push-button switches as standard.
Cool !!
Sincerely,
Chris "Tiny" O. |

Bob:
Glad you're happy with the guitar and best wishes with her. It was a good guitar for me over-all. I think that one was serial # 12 or 13. I got it from Jimmie in early '85 I believe and sold it around 1990. That guitar was the one I used on Gene Watson's hit, "Doin' Everything I Used To Do (But Lovin' You)." I played it almost exclusively on the road with Gene until I left him in '87. Took it all over this continent and Europe and used it on some sessions. She's got a few stories to tell.
Best wishes and enjoy the guitar !!
Sincerely,
Chris "Tiny" O. |

Tiny,
I was at Jimmy's house just after he had finished that guitar and played it a while. I was playing in Branson at the time and was wanting to try a JCH. I remember that it was an excellent guitar. It's funny how guitars get around. |

Congrats on the JCH.
I know how close you and Jimmy were
and knowing he built it makes it
a very special guitar.

That's not fair, Bob!!! I thought you were selling it!!!
I was going to get the very next guitar out of Jimmie's shop when we sadly lost him. Mine was to have been black, but I'd accept your one happily... 
Beautiful!

....and just what is wrong with tomato puke? my favorite jch was #2 i think...orange with white fretboards. sacramento steeler jim gray bought it new..i always dug it. i'm afraid that it was redone in black by someone else...too bad!
actually, the tomato puke color concept probably comes from the old ralph mooney story. |

I have JCH #6, I think. I think it is #1006. Anyway, it was Tomato puke at one time, and is black now.
I think Crawford called it Chinese Red or Chinois Red or something more romantic.

JCH is one of the best playing , sounding guitars out there, have never heard a bad one. That is the only guitar I would trade my williams for. Max Stucky has one he plays at the Florida Jam Best sounding guitar there including the Rack Systems, He is playing thru a Nash.112. I put his settings on my amp, still does not sound as good as his.

Ernest, first let me say that it's always a pleasure to read your informative and historical posts. But what inspires me most is that you're still searching for that ultimate sound, and that you care enough to think it may be nailed once and for all. For that spirit and heart, I salute you my friend. It's so nice to know that true musicians will never lose that fire.

tiny o.
i've got a blue zum..i thought it was cool when i found out that you played one..and mike smith also...back around when i got it. i've always loved the jch also as i figured the zum and the jch were very similar at the time. my question is..why did you ever change guitars from ,say, the zum to the jch...or why get rid of any? i'd appreciate hearing how professionals such as yourself feel about this. thanx
i have the zum and 2 p/p's and i notice it's hard to tell them apart on recordings. i guess cause i play the way i play no matter what. |

Hey Ernie: I am now playing my JCH thru a G K Gallien-Krueger MB200 amp, weight 2 lbs. and a 15" Carvin Speaker in a cabinet I constructed, weight 22 lbs. I love the sound, also a few other guys have commented.
See you at the Jam 12/8/10. MAX STUCKEY |
