Description

The Nash JM63 is a tribute to the classic designs that have shaped the sound of rock, blues, and jazz. Crafted with precision and a nod to vintage aesthetics, this solid-body electric guitar is perfect for players who appreciate both style and substance.

In an 2019 interview with guitar.com, he spoke briefly about his relationship with Bill Nash, and has mentioned the use of Nash Jazzmasters, saying, “I’m playing Jazzmasters, both by Fender and Nash,” he says. “You know, I was never a fan of Strats or offset guitars. But I was on tour, and I saw this Nash Jazzmaster – a natural one – and I bought it. And I’ve since got to know Bill Nash, and now I’ve got about 20 of his guitars. And I swear by them."

From GuitarPlayer.com Interview:

What are the two of you playing during the Elvis Costello gig?

Rebecca: With Elvis, I do end up playing mandolin quite a bit, and my mandolin is a custom-built instrument by Paul Duff in Australia. I use a K&K pickup and run it through a direct box for shows. The only electric guitar I’ve ever bought is a Bill Nash JM Model. I got it because I had fallen in love from watching Elvis play Jazzmasters. For the electric guitar and lap-steel, Megan and I are plugging into Fender Deluxes from Elvis’ collection.
