Anyone got info info on the ‘american original’ line? This thread is the first I’ve heard of it...
I like the anniversary though!
And then I look at Zoey’s Mini which is still leaking oil over the driveway despite having sold said, lovely Jazzmaster to pay for repairs.
And then I get a little bit sad....

This is why I got the last OW Vintage 65 JM from Andertons for £1300 recently. Felt it was a good opportunity to get a "proper" JM for a decent price.
I had some of those "Strat under a Jazzmaster cover" pickups in my J Mascis, combined with the I Meg pots the bridge pickup could take the enamel off your teeth. I swapped the pickups for Lollars and the pots for 250k (despite the risk of being branded a heretic) and it sounded lovely.
Nice.
If that is the only changes over a AVRI '65, then that's a pretty good shout I think.
I'm still basking in my own smugness for picking up a new '65 Jag in Sonic Blue (see profile pic) for £850 two years ago (and then getting the wife to pay for it as a birthday present)!
