The cool thing about fretless is you can hit a note...and then renegotiate.

I haven't seen tweedy without a hat in years. I figured he was going bald.
People say that Obama aged quickly during his presidency, however I think Tweedy has him beat. He looked like a different person when they were promoting Wilco The Album

Yeah, he doesn't seem to be taking very good care of himself. Ironically he seems happier than ever.

Woah! Appropriate that he's also playing a Jag that wasn't taken care of.
I swear I've seen that one for sale recently. The finish looks like a flood victim.
Good for Tweedy though! He does seem happy.

How does a guitar's finish wear like that?

Re: Let's all take a moment to drool over Jeff Tweedy's new Jaguar.
From my own long term experience with a 60's sunburst P Bass, apart from general knocks, drops, scratches & rapid changes in temperature, the amount & acidity of perspiration seems to have a lot to do with it. Once some finish surface cracking starts, the sweat gets under the finish & it loses adhesion / lifts off. In my case both the front & back of the body have "suffered" from this "attack" (the back from jean studs as well of course)How does a guitar's finish wear like that?
I know it sounds rather unpleasant, but in my case the perspiration runs off my right hand directly onto the body, & although I try to rub this off continually during really hot gigs (& of course dry my forearm & hands with a towel) once the surface is destabilised the "damage" is done.
Some folks look upon the wear as "mojo" & an "improvement" of course - you have to pay extra for this!!

I used to be cool, now I just complain about prices.

Tweedy aged a lot in 8 years. It's been a lot longer for sledge. First pic is 2000 at the very latest, more likely mid 90s. Last pic is probably 2012

It's called middle age. It's a lot easier to plump up in your late 30s and 40s. If you're not careful, it will happen to you too.

To be fair to Tweedy, he's had a rough few years with his wife's cancer - I can imagine that has an influence too.
But mainly pies. I say this as pies are my enemy and are leading to an early on-set case of Tweedy.
I imagine that touring doesn't help either. I pile on weight when I'm doing a lot of work travel - you end up eating unhealthy food at airports rather than cooking for yourself as you would at home.
Nice Jaguar though. He's playing a solo acoustic gig here in January which I'm looking forward to attending.
