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.
@nick4man3 Well, I saw an interview with Marr someone posted to YT a while back where he talks specifically about liking both the Jazzmaster & Jaguar.
Oh I see, cool. I've never seen him actually playing one, though. He has a couple of Jaguars that he plays. Was the one you're talking about the series he did with Fender? There's like 6 interview segments that Fender did with him about amps and guitars. There's another one back stage at a Modest Mouse show. By far my personal favorite guitarist (I hate Modest Mouse, but I listen to that record he did with them just for his guitar playing). He is INSANELY underrated.
Thurston looks really disgusted.

It's been about 15 years since this interview and Kim & Thurston just separated. I hope they don't retire.

That interviewer is really fucking annoying. She doesn't deserve to interview Thurston.

@Bobjb999
I think you're confused, Johnny Marr has been playing a Jaguar almost exclusively for a while now. Both are amazing guitars, I own one of each.
