ARCHIVE.ORG has been building a collection of old 78 recordings. You can find old recordings of Charlie Christina, Charlie Parker, Art Tatum, Mike Jackson, Duke, Dizzy, and the list goes on. I have this filtered by jazz but you may want to explore other options. Some of these are kinda fun to listen to. Give it a try

I've got a Hendriksen. Not sure about best in breed but it works for what I do.

Looks like a V/V, V, I in F based on that limited info. The G7 is a secondary dominant. This sequence is probably preceded by Dm7 or D7 so it's just back cycling through the circle of 5ths. It's the same way you'd play over the B section of rhythm changes.

UPDATE I just listened to the song, it is definitely not Fm and it's not D minor )if that is what you meant to type) it is F (though I could see where confusion might arise between F and Dm). I only saw one lead sheet for this but it showed the song centered around F6 which is like Dm7/F so maybe that's from where the confusion arises.

Uh, oh Bob Carey I see an L-4 purchase on the horizon

Not specific to a 175 but I think wooden bridge makes for a more mellow, softer sound. And I think rosewood would be more in that direction than ebony. I'll bet Rich Severson had done this on multiple guitars and can describe it better.

I've used wireless and had no problems but unless there's some pressing need for it, I'd rather rely on cables.
