This may have been around the site before but i just got a Bob Dylan song/picture/story and this picture struck me as great

Is this a transition Jazzmaster? It looks older but it has the white witch hats....i think i may have seen this before, like i said but still cool picture =) Reminds me of my CP Jazzmaster i usta have. Thoughts?

Didn't Fender give him a bunch of gear like they did for the Beatles? I think he got this at the same time as the Jazz Bass and Bandmaster you see him with in this picture:

It seems to me like a regular early '65 JM, here's Bob with some other Fender offsets:

What's that red guitar called is it just a customized mustang or it has a name obviously it has that white mark where the name should be

His XII wasn't a prototype but it was indeed a very early model, only a few '65s had white pickguards.

I dunno, but he was signed to Columbia when they owned Fender. Some sources say Bob didn't have his own electric around '65-'66 & just borrowed from his bandmates, which is odd, but so is Dylan.

Nice proto-cyclone!

Yeah, Bob was another one of fender's giftees. Has anyone able to pinpoint any tracks he used these guys on?

I'm pretty sure he stuck to his strat for the majority of the Bringing it all Back Home and Highway 61 sessions, but it's impossible to know for sure. Besides the first pic of him outside with the jazzmaster, I've seen another pic of him playing it on stage, but that's it. From what I've seen live, he used a sunburst strat, a blonde tele and a black tele during 66, both with maple fretboards.

Part of the reason I got my CP Jaggy right there. Also, in another bit of coolness me and Mr. Dylan share the same birthday which is neat.
