JCS players
« on: November 01, 2016, 02:27:45 AM »
Guys,

I have a black out. I want to name some JCS players in an article, but I'm forgetting some. Paul Weller's Andy Lewis, Mani of The Stone Roses. I know I saw more 'name' players play one. Can you help me?

Thanks!

And question two. I guess answers will be somewhere on this forum, but still...

The JCS Electar pickup is low impedance, according to Epiphone. Can someone tell me the difference between the old and new one in simple English? :)

Mark Wilson of Aussie band Jet used to play a JCS during their heyday (hit single Are You Gonna Be My Girl)

The old guy who played with Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship and Hot Tuna, whatever his name was, plays one I think.  :popcorn:



Mostly not so famous guys who can't afford anything better play one.



Or very young ones:





People that have to play in Alberta ...



Some people who do awful things - like a P split coil - to them:
