Recently a special webpage has been launched and on the 12th September 2008 a special concert will be held in New York’s Knitting Factory, with Tom Verlaine, Nels Cline, Thurston Moore, J. Mascis and special guests!

There seems to be a problem with the Soundsamples of vintage and reissue Jaguar and Jazzmasters Files. Under certain browser/system circumstances no sound will be played and only “buffering” is displayed in the flash-player. For those with these problems I have added the url to the sound-files below each player. Cudos to “Elm” and thanks for the report.

I couldn’t resist and recently got me this beauty. I always lusted after a Candy Apple Red, matching headstock Jaguar – preferably a pre-CBS one, hahah. Well, close enough for Rock’n'Roll. :-)

Upon the author’s request I updated the Taming The Stringbuzz article with his new insights :-)

Have a good and pleasant start into 2008.
All the Best,

To prove the latter, I uploaded some pictures to the gallery: a new ‘66 Jag restauration project by David “sookwinder” Wren, and a nice yellowed ‘66 JM in Olympic White by Scott Palmer.
