I would have taken Eric Clapton's 1958 Jazzmaster... but he sold it last year.

Tut tut, I'm ashamed of you. We're here to protect the vintage Offsets from being parted out and yet you damage one. Well I sir, am ashamed

It's not about the gear! It's about you, your hands, your imagination, your feelings.

Also....Mr Thurston Moore swung one round his head (like a lassoo) for their finale at Reading '91.

Dunno how he did it but it was the TITS!!!! I'd like to think it was an offset!!!

Smith's VI for me.  And I think Thurston Moore's Sunburst JazzBlaster is one of the semi-hollows he had ordered from Saul Koll in Portland, OR so you could always order yerself one.
