I was reading about these on Fly Guitars only yesterday. I’d say worth getting fixed and collectible. Where are you based, perhaps there is member on here who’d be happy to help, I would if you’re in the Deep South.
I fancied one too back in the 80’s but never bought one. I don’t think I still hanker for one now. Does this mean the blue Jazz will be up for sale any time soon?
Is it loud enough to compete with a guitar, presumably acoustic, without an amp? My past experience with one was that it was drowned out. Hope yours is better.
