maybe but the headstock of the guitar in the ad is different from both the strat & jazzmaster. They were still experimenting with rosewood boards, the prototypes had skunk stripes. I don't want it to be exactly like the guitar in the ad, just loosely based on it. I just like the black pickups-on-gold guard-with chrome barrel knobs look. :)

I'll post a new photo on thursday when the shielding arrives.

Heheh! I was hoping you wouldn't ask that as I'm struggling to remember where I got the pic from! ??? I think you might be right.

Makes sense, as that's the JM 50th anniversary poster underneath the guitar.

Seeing that last pics rubs in how extremely wrong 11-hole gold guards look, I just noticed.

Corksniffing screwcounters ftw!
