Hello...

Hello!

I found the site this week - I've been enjoying reading the forums (and seeing the great offset pics).

I've got a '61 Jazzmaster... it's natural (stripped before I got it) w/ a white pickguard.  I suspect it was originally sherwood green, but I'm not certain.  That's what it looks like in the tremolo cavity, though.  Could that have been a 1961 color?

Thanks for having me - I'm looking forward to checking out the forums!  And I've already got a tech question...

Hi, thanks for dropping in!

Sherwood Green was apparently a 60-65 colour, so yes your JM could have been Sherwood. Check out provide.net's page which will tell you more than you ever need to know about custom colours. There's a chart about 3/4 down with the years each colour was used in.

Oh, and we'd love to see pics if you've got any ..

G'day there jazztwin  welcome to our world  great to have you here

[jazztwin]

Thanks for the welcome!  And thanks Mezcalhead for the link - it's bookmarked (I eventually want to refin the JM, finances willing).

And I noticed the Stereolab avatar.  Tim Gane's playing is a big reason I got the JM (he and Kevin Shields are faves of mine).

I'll post pics soon!

I thought Gane more often played a Jag .. ? although I know there are often JMs lurking around Stereolab too.

I think when I saw them last time they were here, there were only $trats and Ricks on stage.
