Where do you get white Fender "Witch Hat" control knobs?
On the American Vintage '65 Fender Jazzmaster, the control knobs are the "witch hat" white style (or close-to-white as they may be parchment colored).
The Squier Vintage Modified Jazzmaster does not come with these. Instead, you get regular "skirted" knobs as seen on Stratocasters.
I've been wanting the witch hat knobs ever since I bought my Jazzmaster.
I looked on the Fender Store web site. No white witch hat knobs. So I emailed Fender Consumer Relations and asked where I could buy a set, as I was willing to spend the money. A canned reply arrived in my email saying my message was received and that they would get back to me.
2-pickup vs. 3-pickup guitars
Have you seen the Fender Cabronita Telecaster Thinline in Shoreline Gold and the Gibson SG Deluxe in Orange Burst?
Ordinarily, when people think of 2-pickup vs. 3-pickup, Les Paul vs. Stratocaster comes to mind. I decided to change that to show that you can have it the other way around where the Gibson is the 3-pickup and the Fender a 2-pickup.
Are offset guitars nothing but hipster junk?
To those not in the know, offset guitar indicates the guitar body is constructed using an offset-waist position; that means the neck sticks out away from the player slightly more compared to a center-waist construction. On most offset guitars, you can see the "lean" in the body where the top is positioned more forward than the bottom.
Flame top guitars are overrated
Some guitars take the flame top too far to the point they start looking not-so good, and the Fender Select Stratocaster in Dark Cherry Burst is one of them. Both the body and neck are flamed on it. Flame, flame, flame and more flame.
Oh, there's more.
Does a Jazzmaster pickup work in a Telecaster?
Does a ready-made Telecaster exist that has this configuration?
