Jazzmaster colors.

Post by DouglasKuzmanoff » Thu Jun 21, 2007 9:08 am

Well, I'm going to put in an order for an AVRI JM, even though I have to wait till August I thought I might as well.

Now, here's my problem.  I don't know what color to get.  I've been set on black for a long time, but after seeing pictures of peoples black JM they don't look as appealing.  I've been thinking maybe going for a Daphne Blue or Surf Green, but playing in my colleges guitar ensemble with a bright guitar would make me feel awkward.  I just thought i would get peoples opinions.

thanks a lot,

Douglas

i would get Oly White or Black. Not sure you can get Daphne Blue (do they offer it again, or you talkin used/refin?)

i do have to say that black Jag/Jazz are the best. Unlike all the pretty colors, they don't always photograph well. you have to see the splendor in person.

but go with your gut.

I'd go black. I bought my first black guitar a couple of months ago, a Dillion Duo Jet copy. It looks so much better in the flesh, so to speak, than the pictures. I love my sunburst Jag but a black JM is what I want.

I always thought sunburst was a bit of a classic. I have a black strat, I got a bit bored with it for a while, I chipped some of the finish off, and I like the "worn" (okay, so I cheated...) look with black, but I love me some sunburst. Might be a cliché, but it's a nice one  :P

Surf green's really cool too, but the headstock is always a make-or-break thing for me. I don't get the whole matching headstock thing.

But definately go with your gut. It'll be your guitar  :D

Ocean Turquoise all the way !
Ah Ok they don't make this color on AVRIs  :P

.. So I'd say Surf Green
or this color (I don't know the name):

If I was getting an AVRI, I'd get burst.  Now that I have a CIJ with a matching headstock, I just don't think I could go back to non-matching again.  So it's burst all the way for AVRI.

Thanks everyone,

Olympic white get kind of boring to me ???  Black always appealed to me because it looks so "sleek"

I've been looking at that, and those pictures don't look  appealing to me. But I think you guys are right, the photos don't capture its beauty. 

I think I might just flip a coin over Black and Surf Green.  :D

I think Surfoverb linked to that auction in another thread... We were discussing the guy's unorthodox shipping methods, and the fact that he lost all the old parts to the thing...
Besides, any auction with L@@K automatically makes me  :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :k :k :k :k :k :k

Black is a good color.

Why does everyone say that Fender is out of Jazzmasters? Musicians Friend has them and Americanmusical too and many other retailers im sure. Im  sure fender makes a bunch then sells them to stores to sell I mean who buys direct from Fender anyway? Fender might be out but stores have them for sale unless they havent updated thier websites.

Yeah that avri Jazz I linked to on ebay isnt too bad really. I dont like the sticker marks on the finish, otherwise its just missing a bridge and wiggle stick, not too bad for what 625$ right now(it will go up however, id stop bidding at 700$ if I were to bid on it at all)

MF shows that they have Oly white in stock.  Weird, some of the others say they are due in today...
