NICE!! Love me some 1966 vintage guitars.. Hey that's when they made me, Don't hold it against me that I'm Vintage & in original case & color & in decent condition too.. Well kinda.. Keep you're clay dots.. Still trying to find a 1966 Gibson Les Paul..HELP..
I kNOW you've still got that BLACK JGuar, right? Send it TO me! I was around when all of these axes were new, except the '58 ... I didn't start messing with guitar until 1959. Am thinking, the very first recorded Jazzmaster was on Bobby Darrin's, "Dream Lover."
Anyone who has a guitar like this, with the separate vibrato mechanism and rocking bridge , please be sure to have the various parts set-up properly. There is a lot of rubbish put about that bridge / vibrato is problematic ( strings jumping out of saddles , won't stay in tune etc. ) Most of these troubles stem from not having enough down force on the bridge. These guitars usually need a shim in the neck pocket to allow the bridge to be lifted thereby giving enough break angle to the vibrato tailpiece. If you intend to actually use the vibrato , the bridge must be free to rock in the cups . Don't waste money buying a Mastery brand bridge unless you don't actually use the vibrato function.
I agree partially with what you're saying, but while I don't find it to be necessary, my mastery bridge has made my vibrato even more stable. Also, ice found that with the original bridge, it is nearly impossible to use anything under tens without using a shim to fully raise the pocket (rather than correct break angle)
I thought Fender had gold stickers for the painted head stocks, similar to what is on the mustang? I could swear I have seen a Jazzmaster with a gold logo. I may be wrong, but I swear I have seen them out there.
these are original guitars from the 70s Original guitars have the real wear & tear.. Relicing is for new custom made guitars and then faked up to look old and worn.. Mark will never review faked guitars He hates them too He only plays the real vintage guitars for the Guitar Of The Day videos
oldmatrices yea its called relicing if you fake up wear and tear on any new guitar but not at Norm's.. you'll never find "reliced" guitars at Norm's this store specializes in real vintage and rare guitars from the early days.. if ya want the faked up garbage go to guitar centre or any of those crap stores that sell crap guitars for an arm and a leg
oldmatrices my guitars? have you seen my guitars? Do you personally know me? NO.. you dont know my guitars you idiot I only buy real vintage guitars I never buy fake reliced garbage
thats Jen who works there as their videographer and photographer who photographs all the guitars you see on the web pages.. and its not her fault she's shaking the camera its very difficult to keep those cameras steady without a tripod or built in image stablization.. go easy on her man.. jeez
Its part music store, part museum; love their videos.
glassslide Shhssss hush Norm will start charging to walk thro the door..LOL
Mark says they are not running a museum Its all 100% store
NiagaraTim even still i would pay to go to a vintage guitar museum
Desire Awperator if i could find places like that i would go see them too.. I'm sure theres plenty of them around the country
The Black Jaguar is beautiful
Those guitars looked freaking awesome, I bet they sound just as epic
"just a regular 1965", gotta love that. Thanks Mark. Really cool guitars.
Good stuff! Sweet collection of offsets. Always enjoy the vids and background on the guitars.
Love vintage Jazzies. I have a 66 sunburst with dots and binding that's my fave.
Mark, as always, with his encyclopedic knowledge gives a fascinating presentation.
Matty from the 1975 bought the factory black one right? It's beautiful!! Can't wait for their next album
Curtis It was Adam Hann, the lead guitarist from the 1975. Still an incredible guitar though
That black jaguar is unreal
Thanks guys! Great video
So if there's no logo does that make it a Noguar?
No.
Rick Sanchez its a joke dude
Oskar69 I know, it's a shitty one.

Etan nope it was good one

My dad: they all look the same but with different colors.
Very cool vid.

+jamieson conking it was a bit later in the JM production- late 60's, i believe. Jim Shine is a jm expert and describes the transition on his website.
mine is gold but only the fender logo, "jazzmaster" is in black
Did they ever do a Jazz or a Jag with a factory maple fretboard?
yes :)
what is more desirable clay or pearl dots?
tweevers2 It's preference.
MARK AGNESSİ FOR THE PRESİDENT...REALLY...
You gotta talk about that "wear and tear" like it is beautiful cuz it is. It's called relicing dude lol.

***** oh i thought all of it was called relicing hombre.

***** You know all your guitars are reliced, you're not fooling anyone.
oldmatrices my guitars? have you seen my guitars? Do you personally know me? NO.. you dont know my guitars you idiot I only buy real vintage guitars I never buy fake reliced garbage
"They didn't shoot a lot of black guitars" nice one Mark lmao
what dose CVS mean
+Zane Hubbard CBS means.. the company that bought Fender from Leo Fender
+Zane Hubbard pre-cbs are the original fender guitars, then the company was sold. Basically the pre-cbs fenders are more rare and worth more money.
Wait what's the Snapchat I would love to follow you guys on that
Who the heck is holding the camera, Michael J Fox? I need a freaking dramamine pill now.
thats Jen who works there as their videographer and photographer who photographs all the guitars you see on the web pages.. and its not her fault she's shaking the camera its very difficult to keep those cameras steady without a tripod or built in image stablization.. go easy on her man.. jeez
