Equipment

Jim Hall has always used an extremely simple approach regarding his gear. In the early stages of his career, playing with Chico Hamilton, he used a Gibson Les Paul Custom

. From that moment on, he has been associated with the Gibson ES-175 guitar. This guitar, originally with a single P90 pickup, was used with a Gibson GA50 amplifier. He then switched to a humbucking pickup before adopting a custom made D'Aquisto guitar. After the GA50 he started using solid-state amplifiers, mostly Polytones (although he also used Walter Woods Amp
and Harry Kolbe GP-1 Pre-Amp and Cab). Currently he is using his signature Sadowsky
Sadowsky
Sadowsky Guitars Limited is a Queens, New York based high-end guitar, bass guitar, and preamp manufacturer. The company took its name from the company founder, Roger Sadowsky. Sadowsky is an alumnus of SUNY Geneseo, and built the business from the ground up, in 1979, after 7 years of guitar...

 guitar, based on his original D'Aquisto.

He uses flatwound strings gauges 11, 15, 20 (plain), 30, 40, 50 (from high E to low E) and small teardrop picks of heavy gauge. It's not rare to see him using a Boss Chorus pedal and a Digitech whammy pedal.

When asked if he ever tried playing solid-body guitars again, he said "solid bodies are strange to me, I need to feel the body resonating". Jim Hall considers himself a musician first and a guitar player second, and his whole approach to gear reflects this.
