Played a Joe Maphis Model 1 today

[ElTwang]

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.

"4) The trade could probably also land a '66 Jazzmaster. It's in the same price range. That's what freaks me out a bit."

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.

That's what Danny meant wasn't it?

Isn't that what I said?

Joe Maphis = $1500-$200

Jazzmaster = $3000 up

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...

Wow, haha. Looks clean but are those original tuners? Do you know the serialnumber on that one, Dennis?

That one warrants a fair amount of scrutiny in my opinion.
