Did anyone else get the email from Fender about the history of the Jazzmaster? Some interesting inaccuracies in the playlist. Stairway to Heaven??

The article isn't much better. In the second paragraph it reads "It (Jazzmaster) soon shared a similar reputation with the Jaguar after the latter was introduced in 1962 and adopted by popular players such as Dick Dale. This is an article written for Fender, the company that makes the Dick Dale signature Stratocaster. —Paul |

"So to celebrate these “heroes of the underground,” we’ve compiled a playlist inspired by these offset masterpieces. From the Mustang Kurt Cobain used to record Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” to the signature Jaguar on Marr’s driving “Easy Money” to the famous Jazzmaster on the Ventures’ classic “Walk, Don’t Run,” the list proves these instruments are worthy of their reputations as versatile, vibrant and often raucous musical icons." I don't think they are claiming that "Stairway" has a Jazzmaster, just an offset guitar on it. To avoid confusion, the article should have mentioned the Electric XII as another offset guitar in the fender line, but it didn't. And "Little Sister" does have a great lead guitar played on a Jazzmaster. But, the Dick Dale thing is inexcusable. Overall, a pretty poor article. —"You can't tell where you're going if you don't know where you've been" Last edited: Mar 11, 2015 16:03:42 |

I had to look up the offset connection on several of the songs- "Back in The Saddle" by Aerosmith has a Bass VI on it. I couldn't find anything on the Blink 182 song. —"You can't tell where you're going if you don't know where you've been" |

I stand corrected on the Elvis Little Sister if this article is correct. http://jacksonville.com/tu-online/stories/040404/dss_15252977.shtml —Paul |

Oh gee thanks Paul..........I had all but forgotten my brief stint years back in a "country" band lead by an Elvis wannabe........ Maybe the goofs that penned that article are just trying to ruffle a few feathers. Nah, maybe they are just stupid........... We know better. ed —Traditional........speak softly and play through a big blonde amp. Did I mention that I still like big blonde amps? |
