Hollow Body Jazzmaster

Post by Infliktor » Tue May 15, 2007 10:43 pm

Anyone ever seen one of these at all?

I was talking to my Masterbuilder today at Fender and he told me an ex Fender employee that worked for them starting sometime in the 50's owns a 1958 prototype that Leo rejected.

Sure, but those are Kolls, not Fenders.

An f-hole on a JM just doesn't look right to me.  I would be interested in hearing a hollow JM like the Warmoth Strats.

Leo rejected it?
Leo never would have started making it if he didn't think it would sell.

I would love to see a picture of it.

Which builder?
