The Jazzmaster Master...no wait that doesnt sound right... the Master of Jazzmasters? uh shit.... The Man who modifies and designs custom versions of the often overlooked Jazzmaster ( Want me to say master again? because his Jazzmasters have Mastery bridges on them...alright I'll stop now). Shelby Pollard from Black Bobbin is who I am referring too and if you don't know what Black Bobbin does I will fill you in. Black Bobbin curates limited versions of pedals and gear, they sell coffee, and you guessed it....they do a whole lot of Jazzmaster Stuff. You can give Shelby your Squier or Fender and he will turn it into an incredible instrument complete with a specially designed wiring harness and custom voiced Lollar Pickups or, if you're in a higher tax bracket than your boys here at The Underground Sessions (Which is not saying alot) , you can have a custom designed Black Bobbin JM (I'm abbreviating now deal with it) built in partnership with Iconic Guitars.
Theres alot to talk about here but let the guy who runs the company tell you about it. The Jazzmaster Mast...nevermind..

Way out in the foreign land of Oswego, IL there is a man who is powering his shop with a bicycle....or trying to...Nate DeMont is building guitars not only for his own brand, DeMont Guitars. He is working on reviving the Guyatone brand from Japan. I mean not just building a guitar body and throwing some Name Brand Pickups in it and calling it a day.. No Nate is Processing his own lumber, Designing and building his own Pickups, Harvesting mother of pearl from the fox river to use for inlays... you get it, these things are completely home grown and built right in Oswego and The results speak for themselves...

Our new Canadian friend Steve was kind enough to call in to the show to talk about the origin of his nostalgia machine, the T-120 Delay, and some of his other insanely great sounding pedals. He also filled us in on his top secret plans for future pedals and we all just had a great conversation revolving around our pedal nerdery.
