Quintessential Jazzmaster Color?

Post by Dingus »

Hey guys, I was just wondering what you thought the end-all, be-all Jazzmaster color is? Like, what color is the jazzmaster that comes to your head when you think of a jazzmaster?

I'm pretty sure mine is Sunburst, but that doesn't mean it's my favorite.

Didn't think of Burgundy Mist, I don't think I can add it now, but you can vote for Other if you want. I was trying to list all the factory colors they made them in, but most of the websites I found only had info for the most recent 7 years worth of reissues.

I was almost positive I clicked other, but other still has zero. So I probably voted surf green accidentally.

Thanks Hurb, just to make sure, I couldn't have edited it, right? It has to be someone with admin privileges?

Ever siince I saw that pic, I've had a hard on for it. Shame they're a lot brighter and garish in real life.

Black/tort or olly white/tort Jazzies are amazing.

Olympic White is the only colour I could ever condone placing a tort guard on.

I said Ice Blue Metallic just because that's what color I'm going to buy an AV jazzy in. If it weren't for the fact that I'm going to buy one in IBM, then I would have thought Sunburst too.

sunburst with a gold pg is one the nicest combos in jazzy history, im a big fan of ibm, and surf green, if i were to buy one av, i would have to toss a three sided number pyramid on which to decide.

I saw one of them in a guitar shop in Edinburgh. T'was lovely indeedy. I don't agree about the garishness. It was only ?350 as well. I really wish I'd had ?350 to spend on it. It wasn't in the window last time I went by so I presume it's been sold now.

Oh and I voted Sherwood Green, but it's still at 0. These big polls never work properly.
