I now have a Jazzmaster. My wife bought me the AVRI in Olympic White, and I'm smitten.
Sigh.
I wish I was at home, playing it right now.
I think the first one I saw was hanging off Will Sergeant, nearly 20 years ago, and it was lovely. A preference for maple fretboards kept me away. So many lost years.
Anyway, what an excellent forum. You know you're in the right place when people are talking about Mogwai's effects boards or Tom Verlaine.
I don't think I'll ever go back to the Gear Page and the Eric Clapton vs. Eric Johnson vs. Eric Morecombe debates.
Free at last.

Welcome! Nice to see another kindred soul.

Re: After almost 20 years
It's coming up nicely, isn't it? Paisley and McGuinness are pals, the sun shines on Samson & Goliath (I hope they don't tear them down!)...everything is grand.
