Anyone know what book this photo is from? (extreme JM porn)

[greenlander]

I found this pic amongst the hundreds of random guitar photos saved on my hard drive. It's probably been there for a few years and I have no idea where I saved it from on the web. I own most of the Fender guitar books in print (that I know of anyway) and it isn't in any of those. Could it be from a Japanese book perhaps?

This is a shrunken version, the actual photo I saved is huge...like a scan from a large coffee table type book.

Please let it be one that's still in print somewhere.

I used it as a wallpaper for a while, despite the ugly room the guitars where pictured in.

can't answer your question though, sorry.

ist comes from a Vintage Gallery special...it's a pic of some of Scott Chinery's collection

Holy... is that one to the far right one of the pre-production models (Tele knobs)?

that is one of the prototypes...the image on Jim Shine's website is also a cropping of one of my scans.

them pics appear to have gone around the world since I scanned them...kinda cool as I scanned them years ago...in the FDP days

Aha...cool, thanks!  :)

So it's from a magazine then? Is the actual name "Vintage Gallery Magazine"?

Yep, I must've gotten the pic off the FDP then.

yes, it was a quarterly special issue of some sort...I think it's August 1995, and the magazine is definitely called "Vintage Guitar Gallery", or something simple like that....

I still have it somewhere.

it also has a step-by-step restoration of a canibalised '63 Jazzmaster...I have turned the article into pdf format and it's available from download in the Library section

It's always so nice to see this photo again, however I have a question about the unusual colour of the 2nd-from-left Jazzmaster that can be seen in the front - what colour is this?

Ice blue metallic?

[zhivago]

I vote for Ice Blue...probably faded a bit too....

the pages have yellowed over the years, so the colours aren't that accurate.....I guess you could say the magazine is reliced!

[mcjt]

i thought inca silver. although the nitro over IS can make it turn quite green over time....

  No Jazzmaster collection is complete without at least ONE sunburst, prototype or no prototype!

[zhivago]

there was one page before this one with two sunbursts...one had a gold guard, and the other one was a rare mint green guard

in the middle of the two, was the prototype again...

I reckon Chinery had even more JMs stashed away
