Small "Collection" of Vintage Fender Offsets

Post by mastercaster » Tue Feb 28, 2023 10:26 am

Long time lurker. First time poster. Just passed a milestone birthday and thought I'd shared my only two guitars that I've used for the past 20 years recording and playing in various bands/jams. Kinda similar yet pretty different. Paired with my favorite amp, a Fender Vibro King, they both sound and play sensational (to me at least:)). Cheers!

1965 Fender Jazzmaster
1976 Fender Starcaster

Indeed, that pair can cover a huge amount of ground sonically. Thanks for sharing!

What an awesome pair you've got there. I can see why you wouldn't need anything else for the last 20 years.

Welcome, mastercaster - you have some very cool offsets! I'm a fan of the Vibro-King, too. I've owned two in the past but had to move them on to fund vintage acquisitions. I'll probably get another one day... :whistle:

Two of Fender's best! I love my Starcaster, and I miss my '65 JM. Stolen from me in the '90s. Hard to replace a guitar that you worked a paper route for 6 months for...
