thanks Mo. I love you too.

No, i added the vibrola--it fits the existing screw holes from the stock tailstop, so there was no modification necessary. but i had to search around for one of the older model vintage vibrola's--they're slightly shorter than the one on my '68 SG, for example.

Your AVRI Jazzmaster is in my favourite colour scheme (for reference, I also am very jealous of your LP and SG).

the JM arrived yesterday. it PWNS!! the neck is awesome, beefier than my '65 and AVRI. so stoked.

neck date was Mar62.

took some crappy iphone pics--will take some better ones later.

LtoR: 62, 65, 66

HWB, very nice indeed, 3 very beautiful guitars. I like the beefier neck on my JM as it makes me play a lot differently.

so, I have a question, and this isn't meant to be troll-y or judgmental by any means . . .

but why have, essentially, the exact same guitar twice? I've never really understood guitar collecting. Or collecting of anything. Right now, I have 3 guitars and that's way too many. I need to get rid of one but they're all so different, I can't decide. Why have two teles and two jazzmasters? why have so many guitars? your collecting isn't as big as we all see pictures of, I'm just curious because when I have 3, I only play one.

I guess things may be different when I have more disposable income and more space of my own, I just wonder what peoples reasons are. It is a magnificent collection and I want every guitar you own.

i pretty much tried getting different guitars--at first i just had 1 of each. but then i wanted a tele with a bigsby--which is a much different feel and sound than a tele without one. i got my second JM (my AVRI) because i was doing a lot of stuff with different tunings--so i wanted another one. also, just because i like having more guitars and appreciate their individial/unique idiosyncrasies.

the last 2 i just picked up--the '62 JM and '66 Jag--i really was looking at them as 'investments' that i can enjoy. there is no logical or practical reason for having all of the stuff. sometimes i do feel like i have too much stuff, but this is pretty much the only thing in my life i'm passionate about.

that said--i am a songwriter at heart and all guitars seem to have different 'songs' inside them. sometimes the certain quirks of different guitars will bring out different playing and different ideas. even my 2 vintage jazzmasters ('62 and '65) have different feeling necks. the '62 is beefier and is slab. it plays and sounds different.
that

that all makes sense, and I guess it's what I expected.

I'll be curious to see if these vintage guitars actually grow in value. they're already so high, a part of me thinks they won't get a whole lot more valuable. It also largely depends on how many kids end up playing the guitar. If the guitar becomes an instrument that isn't a popular to play, what happens to the value? still the same supply with less demand. that's is another topic for it's own thread, I feel.

gorgeous guitars. the Jag is my favorite by far.
