I was asking about the first picture, the guitar next to the LPB one. I can’t find anything on the internet about it.
I'm thinking it's probably this model. Obviously, the pickguard has been changed.

Waiting for the day that they go back to making JMs with no binding

The one in the picture posted above is an original Sherwood JM (‘63 I believe).

The one in the YouTube video was one of a handful of CME custom shop specials produced in early 2018. I actually owned that Sherwood CME shown in the video and it still had its tort guard when I sold it a few months ago.

Just saw this video in the thread, holy crap that tappy math-y stuff is the same kind of thing I play but literally nobody EVER demos anything with.

Still love this guitar, buuuut the new hybrid Japanese Jazzmaster is about half the price, better interpretation of the (at least to me) Sherwood green colour, and non-matching headstock sooo.... :D

I agree with a couple others that the color looks off—may just be the color correction in the first pic and the vid, but it looks a bit more like OTM? Maybe sorta right in the middle of SG and OTM? Bluer. Anyway, super lovely color but weirdly something new in and of itself. Looks a bit more normal in the case pic?
I've got an OTM Jazzmaster and had a sherwood green AVRI, I prefer this new CME, definitly sherwood green but more complex (very close to the AVRI with a neutral light, an old LPB with led light, and a touch of charcoal frost when it's darker)

That was adorable, your musical family is really wholesome. Also did not think a Jazzmaster could do the Brian May tone.
