The wear doesn't quite show as well in photos due to the colour, but I think my 61 JM belongs here.

My kid's late 1959 Fender Jazzmaster, beat and stickered up. He put a Mastery bridge on there, so he is taking care of it - despite what it looks like.

Glad he's playing it as it's meant to be.

Whoa! That's an awesome guitar! My dad would always get after me for putting stickers on guitars, but I dig it. They can always be taken off later (even if they leave a suntan), and they make the guitar more yours.

Is that the original red? Or a refin? Is that Dakota red?

This makes me happy. People putting these things up on pedestals and treating them like untouchable objects is sad so someone enjoying it and doing what the fuck they want is great. I will always sticker up my guitars if I want to...vintage or not

Its Honduras Maroon and most likely a refin.

Exactly, they are there to be used, although I wouldnt modify a mint condition one. Anything else is fair game. Added a sticker to the Mustang today in fact!

Does mine count?

Just realised you're using a Pro Reverb!

What year is it and what are your favoured settings? I've got a '73 and still feel like I'm dialling it in.
