Nash Jazzmaster
Hey folks,
A shop here in Toronto (no affiliation) has started selling Nash guitars, and recently aquired his Jazzmaster version, which in my humble opinion looks pretty good, although a little steep in price.Apperently it is sporting 65 pickups with a 62 guard. Just though I would share.

And hey thanks again for such a warm and welcoming place.

Ah, that explains it. I just thought the guard looked incredible for a repro, but that's because it's not a repro.NickH wrote: Apperently it is sporting 65 pickups with a 62 guard.

I thought the same thing. I'm not a fan of simulated arm wear though. It almost always looks too focused and contrived.Orang Goreng wrote:

Re: Nash Jazzmaster
I agree with the arm wear, in fact "forced" aging is not my cup of tea, but for a complete build it does look pretty good, I certainly like the two tone bust.

My '64 Jazz has its arm wear about four inches closer to the tailpiece. Someone must've played it sitting down for most of its life. When I sit down to play, my arm rests in the exact same place as the existing wear.

I've been waiting for awhile to see one fo these Nash JM's. He's had a blurb on his site for awhile about the impending arrival of such guitars. Wish there were some better closeups. It loosk like a strat shaped headstock to me as well.

Coincidentally, my flatmate is a jazz guitarist (who normally plays a les paul w/ P90's) and he loves the sound of my jazzmaster for jazz, especially the Rhythm circuit.

Re: Nash Jazzmaster
Well they got another but looks like someone has spoken for this one already. Same bad arm rash, but no vintage parts. Again with the buzz-stop and mustang bridge.

Re: Nash Jazzmaster
I have never understood why they can't reproduce the old 60's style tortise shell.... its always the part that does not look right on the reissues. Is it an enviromental concern with the celluloid or something?

Re: Nash Jazzmaster
I recall reading about the original Fender Factory and how they used to make celluloid products, particularly the skin that goes over their lap steels and such, and how it was a dangerous process. It was some interview with Leo from the vintage guitars book I believe, he said "the place was like a bomb", and that one time the fire inspector came over, took one look, and went across the street and phoned them from there with the report.burker wrote: I have never understood why they can't reproduce the old 60's style tortise shell.... its always the part that does not look right on the reissues.
