Hello all,
I still have my 1964 Black Jazzmaster, BUTT I had to sell a 1958 Sunburst Stratocaster to get it in 1964. My Dad told me he would give me the money if I sold the Strat. By the Way I paid $151.00 for the Strat in New York City, I took it home on the Bus in a Bed spread because I did not have the 39.00 for the case. I paid 240.00 for the Jazzmaster with case in 1964.

Thanks for Listening

Mike

Thats an interesting story. You could get a lot of money for that jazzmaster now. Well, a lot more than you paid for it. I wouldn't sell it though if I had it for that long. Got any pictures?

There is More to it, about 25 yeras ago I decided that I wanted more from a great machine so I repalced the pickups with Duncan Quarter pounders, then last summer I changed the frets with petillo frets from master guitar luthierPhillip Petillo and changed all the screws to stainless with all the original stuff cataloged. she plays just as in the old days Sweet and smooth a Classic that cannot be copied. She has played with the Tokens and Dion and Santo and Johnny. I did a world tour when it was 21 day in Brooklyn.....................Ha.

Thats pretty cool. I have a story about when I got my jaguar last year. I walked into the guitar center over here after getting off work on payday. I cashed my check and decided I would go just to look and see what they had. I ended up spending just about all of the money that it took two 40+ hour weeks for me to make in about 15 minutes.

You should write a book. You probably have all kinds of cool stories about things you've seen and experienced. How many other guitars do you own?

Wow, that are three great acts! When did you play with them, during the sixties? On records or live? Usually it's Al Caiola and guys like that. My first Dion album was the live one, from the early 70s. The audience kills me. It adds so much drama to the music. Santo & Johnny - they made lots of great records, though people tend to only know Sleepwalk, but what a tune! And they were really young when they did it.

I play a 65 fiesta red Jaguar (matching headstock and neck-binding). I was looking for either a Jazzmaster or a Jaguar in 1991 and when I found it I gave my very rare 1975 Gretsch CountryRoc for it and could buy a nice, new 9' longboard! The Jaguar allows for more reverb, and since I started a surf band that was the route for me.
