Hi,
Just bought a Hofner 500/1, so I thought I might join the thread!
And then there's the one that looks like a Jazzmaster that melted:
Reminds me of a young flatfish that is still in the process of transitioning.
That looks like a jazz master that's transitioning from left-handed to right-handed. No disrespect to all the trans-guitars out there..but no, really just no
Having had an evening to cogitate. I reckon the reverse firebirds are pretty nasty too.
It looks like what a 5 year old would draw if you gave them a crayon and asked them to draw a Jazzmaster.
That's the non reverse Firebird the original that fender sued over and hence, the more usually sighted reverse firebird. It was actually "invented" by someone who designed cars and had no knowledge of the Jazzmaster. In terms of all round playability and actual tone, the best guitar I have ever played was a 3 P90 loaded non reverse Firebird from about 65.
The non-reverse Firebird may look like Gumby when it's hanging on the wall, but it looks cool when Keith Richards plays it:
Oh, and Tony do you recognize the guitar Mick Taylor is playing?
A Bronco! \o/
Has to be a cheapie as it was going to get covered in foam.

Here's a classy lesson video that I enjoyed
