I'm not saying I couldn't be convinced otherwise, I just don't think I've seen that strong consensus overall.

Way back then, WRHB didn't have the mythical status they got in the 21st century, they were just some unloved Tele deluxe pickups. I don't remember the story anymore; he put them in his Jazzmaster to get more output or feedback... was it anything more than coincidence and happenstance that they were WRHB?

And if we're going to be that specific about a WRHB, where do you draw the line on what qualifies? Over the last decade there have been more than a handful of attempts at recreating WRHBs with varying degrees of accuracy or compromise. People have also sometimes even referred to any humbucker with 3/3 split poles/covers as a WRHB, regardless of the underlying construction.
All pain and troubles melted away like lemon drops beyond the contrails across the sky.

i still consider a jagmaster as any jaguar/jazzmaster shaped guitars with a hardtail/strat trem. i consider a jazzblaster as a jazzmaster with widerange pickups. by my definition, my main drop d guitar is a jazzmasterblaster

This is awesome, what is it? Is it a partscaster or some kind of squier/fender?
it's one of the affinity jazzmasters (the older hardtail models)
That's sick. Do you have any full-body pics of it on hand? I would love to see it in all its glory
