so, i left for a couple of months, anyway im pretty hyped up at the dvd release, i wouldnt be able to buy it, i dont have the money now, but in x-mas i should, if i havent wasted it on some effect pedal or something of the sort.
for "teh funz" i enjoy playing reverend horton heat songs, but thats just me i guess, i also find that brian setzers songs(during+post stray cats) is fun for "teh fingz" either way, i guess im just a rockabilly nerd. also "since u been gone" performed by kelly clarkson, that is a fantastic song, fun on guitar aswell.
if your into tiny plecs, go after a dunlop jazz II they are AMAZING. easily my favorite plec, but you shouldnt ever break a plec over 1mm i didnt think that was possible. anyway, dunlop is a great place to look at for plecs.
gretsch 6162(i think thats the grand country western, ya know the one eddie uses)
mosrites of any year
burns batwings
jazzmasters
’55 strats
and any telecaster with a b-5 on it.thats a kahler(i thhink?) locking tremelo, and somesortof locking nut, not big on those two things so im not two sure of what brand they are….hopes that helps!
im pretty sure the three chords he playes before he says "repulsions" is i think a12major, now im not sure but thats what i remember it being.
i’ve got an mim standerd strat into a big muff, into a deluxe electric mistress, into a hotrod deville, not the greatest rig ever, but its mine and the strat plays better than most of the new american strats ive played, although im about to sink my wallet into a jazzmaster.
i havent played it in a while but i belive it goes eminor-gmajor-eminor-bminor-eminor-f-c-bminor, thats the intro i think mind you if there was a guitar enxt to me i would play it and get it all out for you, i guess i should play more and chat about playing a bit less…..
ah fdp, i couldnt dare defect from j-s.com and shortscale.org. they’re really good with jazzmaster stuff. anyway, uhm i take it your after a bone nut? allparts.com should have some blank bone nuts. but yeah, id just havea tech or someone do it, its not hard, but its easy to screw up.
aye, dont bother with fender, email squire! now thats a fantastic guitar company. one of the best guitars ive ever played was a friends squire showmaster…..really, it was really good.

Hey Jebus,
No, of course I didn’t for a second take it that you meant I should sell my Jazzmaster, I was just emphasising the fact that I’m particularly attached to it (it was my first "proper" guitar) and that I love Jazzmasters. They’re surely the most beautiful solid electric guitars ever made. My girlfriend came up with a nice way to described the jazzmaster . something like , "masculine but elegant"
. I dunno. They look just as good if not better when "girls" play them – Check out the wicked Shannon Wright. Plus they’re way more versatile and usable than most people seem to give ’em credit for.I’d Post pics of it but I don’t have any handy or own a digital camera. To make matters worse it’s in England and I live in Cyprus right now! Sweet Jebus, I miss this guitar! 
I’m gonna have to go there and arrange the fix up job because I wouldn’t trust anyone here to do it. No offense to any Cypriots intended but ,y’know, Cyprus is deep in bouzouki (Ugh!) country, it’s not really a guitar oriented culture. How did I bust the nut? One fine day, a hamfist and a bonehead was trying to fiddle with a worn, plinky sounding nut slot when, ooops! Oh fuck! I’d trust a Cypriot guitar tech ( if there is such a thing) over my handywork, of course. But I won’t.
Jebus, I’ve rambled a bit here haven’t I? Oh and by the way, Jagstangs are pretty cool too in a way, so cheer up.Oh yeah, and check out the thread about the J sigNITure Jazzmaster model.
well, i only bought the js, because it was like a mustang with a jag top horn, and my ideas of a decent guitar has changed alot. im looking into a gretsch 6120-western, and a 62 av ri jazzmaster(in surf green or otm) anyways you could make a new nut(haha) by yourself, all it takes is time, precision, and nice files. anyways mate jazzmasters are very beautiful. probly my favorite guitar, it can go from nice clean, dirty blues leads, heavy crunch, you name it it can do it, it gets no justice. the stratocaster(as great as it is) isnt as great as the jazzmaster.
they sell those at hot topic….probly not in store though because they wouldn’t be the hot sellers…..

My ’59 has a mediocre old refin that’s partly stripped plus I managed to bust the the tort pickguard where the jack socket is (this is pretty common and I recently picked up an ’60s replacement). I also managed to crack the original bone nut ( how? WTF?) so it’s a "players guitar" as they say. Sounds amazing though. The price of refins seems to keep rising also but I resolve to get the repairs done sometime this year hopefully and never let it go.
