I'd be pretty thrilled if they just put out a hum-cancelling jazzmaster made out of alder or light/swamp ash.
Those fake wide-range pickups sound good in some guitars I've played- i womder if they'll have real cunife pole pieces, or if it will be a half-assed PAF in a cool looking case.

Saw five dollar priest play in NYC about a week or so ago.
Original drummer of Sonic Youth (well the first one on any records I heard) Bob Bert and Norm Westberg of the Swans on guitar as well as some other nice guys on vocals and bass.
Awesome show. Got a great recording of one of the songs on my H4N. Those little things are gonna be 'taper' cult items in a few years. Kinda like the pixelvision for art students.
But yeah, this is kind of offensive to me the same way the Joe Strummer Tele is. It's just so fricking crass and silly.
the cool thing about jazzmasters was that they are the non-fendery fedner guitar that used to rattle around in the back of pawn shops until someone with a taste for the obscure bought one.
This (and the other couple of jazzmaster models) pretty much kills the possibility of ever getting a cheap one of those again. Well that and mister 'nevermind'.

I don't think this is anywhere NEAR as offensive as that Joe Strummer Tele. That sticker pack of Shepard Fairey crapola made me wanna punch somebody. I get that Strummer's estate was involved, but that was just awful and tacky. Fake paint wear? C'mon.
On the other hand, these things actually look kind of ok. Yeah, I'm sure the pickups won't be exactly what every hard core guitar nerd would want, but the guitars themselves seem tasteful enough. And I like the minimalist electronics. In fact, I'd be willing to trade a volume knob for an on/off switch.

true, if they keep them reasonable like the geddy lee model was initially. That might be cool. I would hope that thurston and lee would stipulate that they have to be affordable. But I am not holding my breath.
The strummer was retarded. Oh boy I can pay $2000 for a brand new guitar that looks like crap? especially given the anti-consumerist slant of the clash.
ick.
It's so weird being an old (post)punk rocker.
We were all supposed to be dead by now!
goddamn getting clean and cold war ending...shit.

I do have one sonic youth guitar.
well bass
the ovation magnum
Kim played one of those a lot in the earlier records. Its what she is playing on the cover of 'confusion is sex' I believe.
They totally shot up in price about 7-8 years ago. Not sure why.

Sounds cool - have you posted your recording of the show anywhere?calaverasgrandes wrote:Saw five dollar priest play in NYC about a week or so ago.

I always liked Bob Bert's drum parts.
Original drummer for Sonic Youth was actually Richard Edson.
I have mixed feelings about these SY Fender guitars... I mean, good for them, after 25 years plus as a band, to get that signature model recognition. But it also feels icky, mostly in the marketing. Like "The Story" behind these models on the Fender site:
Errrr, ick.When Fender came to us with an offer to make signature models of our Jazzmaster guitars we jumped at the chance. These are the guitars that have defined the sound of Sonic Youth for more than 20 years... These guitars rock Sonic style!

yeah its a pretty offensive branding attempt.
Like the link to a 'zine'?!
that hits me where it hurts, as I was one of those guys back in the early 80's that used to put out a zine chronicling the underbelly of civilization as I saw it. Most zines were thoroghly anti-establishment, anti-consumerist and in general were much more literate and exemplary of the punk/no-wave ethos than 99% of the bands of that era. Well at leat the good ones.
Cometbus is often bandied about, but Aaron was a late comer to the zine scene.
btw edson was only in the band for a minit. I always identify sonic youth with Berts drumming. You know how whenever you saw doctor who for the first time, thats who you consider tto be the best 'doctor' in the series? (Tom Baker!) Well its like that for bands I think as well.
My former band mate and still best friend teases me about how I dont like Sonic Youths new drummer. (that what I refer to shelley as) The one that's been with them for decades. Funny, I love the crucifucks.
