One of these three, all three of them are the guitars that got me into Offsets in the first place...

1.) Ric Ocasek's Pepto-Pink Jazzmaster (which was originally Sunburst, there was a video from 1977 of them playing My Best Friend's Girl, and Ric's Jazzmaster was Sunburst, not pink).

2.) The ever so often talked about Kurt Cobain Jaguar

3.) Or The John Frushante Green Jaguar

I'd have to agree with you Jazzheadmark - one of Steve Turners Mustangs please! (he's v famous in my eyes :) Preferably the 1966 (? or thereabouts) Daphne Blue Mustang he used around the time of Superfuzz Bigmuff. If I couldn't get my hands on that then I think Mascis' Sunburst '65 Jazzmster would suffice. Does that guitar still reside at the EMP Museum in Seattle?

I'd love to have the CAR/tort JM that belinda's holding in this picture:

it's a bonus if she's still holding it at the time... ;)

althoug it´s whereabouts are unknown, and it´s probably refinished and parted out (like a few of the previous ones mentioned), and i´m not big on sparkle finishes, i´ll have to go with this one.

i dunno, it's kinda hard to see with the tort and all. You could be on to something, though!

hmm... it actually kinda looks like someone photo-chopped away the rhythm circuit, using the clone stamp and blur tools...  :-\
