Danny, yes I know....
handbrake, yes it's in a fine condition. But it has been played which in my book is a good thing! Regarding resale I'm 99% sure that would be VERY difficult and something to take into consideration too. This one must be a keeper.

Probably the wrong thing to say on a Mosrite forum, but have you seen what '60s Jazzmaster are selling for now on eBay? It may be a long tome before the Joe Maphis model commands comparable prices as an original 60s Jazzmaster. If you trade those two guitars in on a Joe Maphis model, that seller is making out like a bandit.
I think he means he could get a Jazzmaster instead of the J.M model. Still, Good advice.

Isn't that what I said?

Joe Maphis = $1500-$200
Jazzmaster = $3000 up

Re: Played a Joe Maphis Model 1 today
Confusion galore...
What I thought ElTwang said was this:
He trades his Mo' Reissue and 2006 Gretsch Penguin for a J.M or a Jazzmaster (Or both)
What I think Dubtrub thought is this:
ElTwang trades a Mo, a Jazzmaster and the Gretsch for the J.M.
I hope this clears out confusion. I don't mean anything against anyone here...

That one warrants a fair amount of scrutiny in my opinion.Dennisthe Menace wrote:Here's one that went for.....a little more....
