funnily enough I watched this video the other day - absolutely great. Would definitely have him do my 62 Jaguar when it becomes absolutely necessary if he was based in the UK. Lovely guitar too - you're a lucky man.

Less mad on that one. The spray job on the jag is pretty grim

Fantastic video of some very nice fret work. Congrats on your guitar PhatFrank! I think we connected on this one on YT 
I was privileged to buy this 1960 Fender Jazzmaster (https://truevintageguitar.com/blogs/pre ... r-sunburst) from the son and daughter in law of the original owner. I had a difficult time communicating with them for months and couldn't figure out why at first. Eventually they lightened up and explained that they were skeptical since they had almost been scammed with a fake check. I think we were both happy to find that neither party was interested in scamming.
I loved that guitar. In my excitement, I completely missed the fact that it had an A neck! But it was a penciled neck date so I just thought it was a skinny neck. I wasn't consistently measuring guitars at time so I totally missed it. Embarrassing!
Many people gave me hell about the tremolo arm. I thought it was so cool since I knew that it was customized by the original owner. He was a country player and the guitar even still had the original tooled leather strap. Here are a few pictures of it from when I had it.
