Looks like cool exhibition. Nice to see the fragment of Jimi Hendrix's Monterey guitar. The Fender CS reissues of that guitar have quite a solid, steady paintjob on them, whereas Jimi's own looks a bit roughshod and feverishly applied. That is an eye-opener for me.
That Thunderbird with the mismatched gold speedknob was in a book I had as a kid, simply as an example of the type. John wasn't mentioned at all.
The Jazz Bass is another interesting find. The white pickguard is unusual. Weren't Fender all about tortoiseshell back then?
Right enough! I wonder if the chrome pickup cover ended up on Frankenstein.
