I'm rediscovering my 1971 Fender Jazzmaster as well as my love for 70s guitar-hero rock. I know that was an era that no one played JMs-hell, even The Ventures and Beach Boys were playing Les Pauls! Then when Television and Elvis Costello came out playing them they became sought after. I've seen pictures of Otis Rush and Gatemouth Brown playing Jazzmasters, and Hendrix used one on occasion, but do y'all know any other players of note during the era from 67-77 that played Jazzmasters?

I have a DVD full of Clarence Brown playing his Jazzmaster in this show called The Beat in the 60s, great footage with him, the house band and Freddie King.

Gatemouth was a really good player who made some great music, but his personality turned me off enough that I got rid of my records of his, including an autographed one.

Last time I seen him alive was probably about 10 years ago, opening up for the Thunderbirds I think. But that skinny old bastard could still play, no offense :) Strange fingering style too.
