That is cool. I've just been recently watching a bunch of Johnny Cash performances from the late 50's appearances on Town Hall Party and others. I order them on Netflix. Here's one from THP. I was really digging Luther's white (blonde?) Jazzmaster. Given the year, I was guessing trans blonde, with maybe the gold anodized guard swapped out for a black one. Good look at 2:07 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyIdhzbcZGI&feature=related I see many Jazzmasters and Jaguars from county music clips from the early sixties particularly. |

back on topic - here's another clip of the same song, in '58.... Big River Huge reverb and Jazzmaster sound - kind of a pre-cursor to "Pipeline" I've always thought Surf and Rockabilly were related... —"You can't tell where you're going if you don't know where you've been" |

It's a thread about Luther Perkins playing a Jazzmaster, not everyones inability to buy a JM. Personally, I don't mind the sidetrack into JM purchase, but I do think there is more to be gained here than that. —"You can't tell where you're going if you don't know where you've been" |

If I'm not mistaken, Luther Perkins has a Jazzmaster etched into his gravestone, which I thought was odd, since while he did play one at some point in his career, it seemed like he eventually went back to a Telecaster. —"We're lousy, we can't play. If you wait until you can play, you'll be too old to get up there. We stink, really. But it's great," Johnny Ramone . |

More famous for playing the Esquire of course, but he was one of the many musician consultants visiting Fender during the Jazzmaster's development. He was also part of the late 50's 5G..6G amplifier development begun in 1957. Soon these amps would become the Brownface Fender amplifiers. |
