My friend Michael plays in a couple of pretty awesome bands called North of America and The Holy Shroud, and has a penchant for offset guitars.

The Jazzmaster is a 63 which he bought 6 or 7 years ago for about 650 dollars CANADIAN.

The Jag is a 60-something which was purchased for considerably more (not his, but a bandmates).

I had the Jazzmaster for a while, and it was one of the nicest guitars I have ever played...eye candy too!

The jag is either '65 or early '66 becuase of the dots + binding .They are both beautiful.

Wow! Great guitars!



... but tell him that duct tape and/or electrical tape on vintage finishes is not a good idea!

Tell Taka Goto of the post-rock band Mono that!
here's the sweet bass player Tamaki tuning up one of Taka's jazzmasters:

Mmm.... she's nice. Of course, I mean the guitar 

They're both nice.

I'm guessing you live in the great city of Halifax? "Michael" as in Mike Bigelow perhaps?

I am friends with Mike Bigelow, but it was Michael Catano I was talking about!

  In regards to the picture of the lovely Tamaki tuning the Jazzmaster, is it common practice to tune a guitar with a capo on it?  I'm asking out of complete ignorance, I only use mine to keep the strings from flying all over the place when I'm swapping pickups...

yep, it's normally not a problem. sometimes the strings can stick a bit when tuning down, but it's not a big problem.

I have to tune my guitars with the capo on, if I'm using it. The strings are often out of tune, slightly, when I put the cap on if I don't. I'm a bitch when it comes to being in tune.

wow north of america... I love one of the records, but i lost the case and dont even know the album title!
good musicians have good taste.

YEAH
