Thurston first got to love Fender Jazzmasters from hearing&watching Tom Verlaine of Television play one.Thurston was a big Tom fan.The two are pals today&hang out&jam together.He must love the distinctive Jazzmaster sound too(as I do),& not just that it has a long neck.Jazzmasters were obscure,unloved guitars you could buy cheaply 2nd hand,early '70s,which was why Tom originally bought one.Economics!But Tom,then Thurston, made them semi-famous.Johnny Marr likes Jazzmasters nowadays too.
