A couple of additional notes about Jeffs guitars picked browsing through "Crazy Fingers"

1: Jeff bought the first burst from Selmers on Charing Cross Road around Feb/March 1966, he paid £175 for it.

2: This got broken on October 11 1968, it wasn't in fact Jeff but rather it was lying on top of a Marshall and got knocked off breaking the neck. It was then renecked with a normal looking but narrow neck (going by photos circa JBG 2), this was the luthier who changed the double white PAFs out for T-Tops.

3: Jeff immediately bought a 54 Strat which he used briefly on 22 October in Boston but then bought the Flametop (9_1864) from Rick Nielsen on 24 October 1968 in Philadelphia for $350. Apparently it still had a Bigsby on it when it was delivered which Beck removed. Beck apparently kept the guitar for some time, it was finally stolen during the last JBG 2 shows in late '72 which is when Jeff picked up the "Oxblood" conversion.

4: The large headstock with the flowerpot inlay and script logo plus the intitials were added to burst 1 when the it was broken yet again in the mid 70's, after that he put it away.
