So yeah I think this deal was struck 3 years ago...maybe not quite? But after paying back little by little the guitar has been round the world waiting to get here. I dunno what to say really it is so beautiful and sounds gorgeous (dunno what the fuck is going on but my other guitars sound dull as fuck in comparison!)
I would love to take some better pictures but I has no decent none film cameras around at the moment, so it may have to wait. Tom has been a stand up prince throughout the paying off process. classy classy class act.
Thanks you Tom I love it!!!! Lady hurb says thanks for the chocolate (she somehow claimed it all!)
I can't even remember much about the guitar...it's a 60's one haha
it is a freaking relief that it is in your hands!! Yeah man, that light body and those pickups……really are something amazing! so its a 66 jazzmaster, original case. Bought off ebay from a guy who inherited it from his grandfather, who was the original owner. Played cajun music in Luisiana for decades. He did the cigarette burn on the headstock, and a lot of the wear…I did a lot too, haha. Oh that thing has a hell of a lot of soul for dank smoky cajun bars in louisiana, to fuzzed to hell alternative rock bands in Portland Oregon, to a bad ass bloke in England!
haha, read through the original post. Fuck I forgot even how it looked originally…….I put a ton of wear on that thing. I really played the shit out of it.
You really did add some wear Tom! Thanks for the original thread I only searched for the classified ad but couldn't find it.
I am looking at it now thinking how lovely it looks. It is super super light and the neck is really lovely to play. You have it set up different to how I would set mine up but I dare not touch it in case I bork the sound from the pickups...it also rings out with more sustain than I am used to.

I noticed this when I owned a Jaguar and Jazzmaster at the same time. It bothered the shit outta me. Much preferred the heaviness of the Jaguar.

Well just set up how you want, I had a mastery bridge on it before, so its not really set up, also had some plane flights and crazy temp changes in Norway. I know it was fretting out when I sent it on the high frets, but had no tools here for setting up guitars.
