Here is my Crook



The Trem with the Mastery Bridge works flawless...
I do like Strat Trems.. but if you have the Jazz setup properly it will work really nice!

I'm thinking aboot getting a Jazzmaster type guitar........

I dig the new FENDER hybrid Jags & Jazzmasters....but I have a problem paying that kind of scratch for guitars that were "Student models" when they were originally made...

Or those SONIC YOUTH sig models....Thurston Moore & Cobain bought 'em because you could get Jags & Mustangs & Jazz Masteers dirt cheap back in the day....Moores sig model runs sumthin like $1400! Silly!

I'm looking at knockoff cheap-0 alternatives........

Funny how we have differences of opinion on everything under the sun but one thing for sure is we all love Fender equipment!

Speaking of student models... I have a 1964 Fender Duo Sonic I'm preparing to refinish/restore. I'll post some pics soon as I get going with the project...

It's an early 64 model before they introduced the Duo Sonic II which was a non-tremolo spin-off of the Mustang. Mine's a true student model 3/4 size with a 22.5" neck scale. The guy I bought it from in 79 had stripped the original Olympic White finish off and varathained it natural. He also installed this ugly fat brass tune-o-matic bridge system on it and didn't get the scale length correct. I figured out an odd set-up to get the intonation close and gigged with it for about 5 years.

Found an original 64 Duo Sonic bridge on e-bay last week and thought I had it made for about $20... last 2 hours some jackasses bid it up over $75 so I had to bail on that. Probably just go buy a new replacement bridge for the current Squire Vibe series Duo Sonics...

Put a fuckin' Kahler and some nice after market pups on that bad boy and make it something worth playing...

It'll never be worth much not being original paint anyway...

Yup. In the 70's and 80's they were totally dated guitars nobody wanted. I mean come on, they were the guitars the guy on Lawrence Welk played. They went out with Brylcreem and big ugly black birth control glasses. Unless you looked like Elvis Costello, those guitars were about as relevant as a 59 Impalla or Edsel.

I read that you could get a Jaguar or Mustang for $100.....which might be a bit of an stretch.....but still, they're gouging people on the fact the "famous" people played 'em in the Grunge/Alternative era......

Nobody wanted those guitars in the early 80's. Nobody wanted the old early 60's Fender amps either then. Everyone wanted Les Pauls and Marshalls. You could have a brown tolex or blonde tolex early 60's amp and a Jazzmaster for under $500 in a pawn shop score easy.
