Vintage Vintage Jazzmaster Restoration Article

[daemon]

Came across this article in a '95 copy of Vintage Gallery magazine I rediscovered last night. It's a refin of a '63 Jazzmaster.

Also contained this nice family picture (which I couldn't fit on my scanner all at once so I had to crop pieces together).

I've had that issue since it was new - inspirational stuff!

I think Yannis scanned and posted that Erlwhine article years ago.
And an OSG member posted that incredible pic too. (is it a Chinery collection photo?)

Yes, I guess somebody could be looking at this on their phone (or dial-up, *shudder*), so good point. And it is a Chinery collection photo. I hadn't seen it around since I've been here so I apologize if it's a repost.

That is correct...I posted the whole thing quite a while ago...in fact I bought that magazine when it came out in 1995

This is the same mag that has the Jazzmaster prototype with he black anodised guard and the Strat-size headstock

Nice, much better! I also bought it new and loved the fact that the second from the left looked like my '94 MIJ blonde.

It's a pretty cool mag...I have a few other issues too...I tried to get them all at some point, but they are pretty hard to track down

Man poor Jazzmaster, now for some reason this makes me want a candy apple red one.

[JoeySlush]

I have this issue too. And always wanted to do such a restauration myself. Still looking for the ultimate project.
