Lee Ranaldo and Thurston Moore signature Jazzmaster models. Just one volume knob and a selector switch, none of that rhythm/lead circuit switches and knobs. What you guys reckon.

Very nice guitars, great to see Moore/Ranaldo get the recognition they deserve

But a tone switch would make those jazzmasters much more versatile IMO

it'll take time to adapt to their wierd tuning though

LAMMMEEEE.

probably gonna cost a bomb, and the whole reason why he got a jazzmaster cause it's a cheap pawnshop guitar.

that said, I still don't mind one

both models look excellent. i'd get both for the different pickups. the lee ranaldo has the new versions of the wide range reissues that are said to sound closer to the original wide range, but of course, no one can tell unless he/she actually gets one. damn, i want both of them.

they're gonna cost a bomb though
