Not sure if this is an official Fender-endorsed event or not, but if we were in NYC next month, we’d definitely be going to the Knitting Factory for this show. Jazzmaster enthusiasts Tom Verlaine, Nels Cline, Thurston Moore and J. Mascis (Dinosaur Jr.) take the stage to celebrate the 50th birthday of one of the coolest guitar designs ever made. Like Mascis, Elvis Costello now has an official Jazzmaster signature model. Wonder if he’ll show up? -JV

Every Fretboard Journal reader knows we’re suckers for interesting photography, so we were happy to see a couple of music related photo essays on CNET’s Road Trip 2008. The first trip went to Gibson’s electric guitar factory in Nashville. (I love the shot of the carousel of guitars awaiting completion). The second trip, and perhaps even more interesting to some of us, is their trip to the United Record Pressing plant. Check out this shot of a bin of blue vinyl pellets waiting to be pressed into records is pretty dang cool. JV
