BACK HOME
An update. The guitar I referenced the other day that was in for repairs is back. Thankfully there wasn't much to be done (the neck had become bowed over time and the truss rod needed sorting), but the person worked on it at #FernsGuitars set it up so it plays like a dream, better than it ever did. This old man is very happy!

MACHINE
Something unusual today. Not really a "creative" effort on the photo front, but I wanted to share it anyways.

I adore form & function when it's done well. The Fender Jazzmaster guitar, introduced in 1958, is a beautiful example of that. I'm not a guitar gear nut, but I am a guitarist and a lover of design, particularly of the years on and around my birth year, 1962. The space age shape of the body and pickguard, the curved vibrato arm (which is a delight to use), the "extra" rhythm circuit switches and, of course, the famous pickups (not really my thing to be honest, but the ones in mine - a Classic Player Special from 2008 - are of the non-traditional variety, more like P90s).

I can well imagine that most folk will be like "yeah, whatevs" when they see my Jazzmaster photo. It's not much of an interesting shot or subject to most. I get that. But I love this thing/object/machine. It literally makes me happy every time I pick it up to play. 🖤
