Re: Surfing, Surfer's Hair, Jazzmaster

Gavin Ehringer (windanseabeachboy) - 15 Jul 2004 13:12:28

When I surfed all the time (age 17-19), the tips of my hair turned
blonde in the sun and salt. I kept it short so it would dry, and
combed it with my fingers. The surfer look pretty much remains,
fairly short, hardly combed, and sun bleached.
I saw a kid in Surfer with a really cool 'do: he flipped his bangs
back into a wave shape (held in place with mousse), then
colored it blue. Then, he stuck a small surfer action figure in the
pit of the tube! I always thought this would be fun for the stage,
but alas, I no longer have enough hair. Maybe a toupee?
As for the Stew-Mac bridge: the saddles are the problem with the
Jazz and Jag, not the bridge. You can swap out the saddles or
just file a groove in the originals and get the same result as with
a Mustang bridge. However, I find the Buzz Stop ($39.95 from
Guitar Parts Resource), a roller bridge attached to the JM/Jag
tremelo plate, does the trick and eliminates both the buzz and
the string
jumping.
