Fender is celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Jazzmaster by talking to musicians who love the guitar. One of those musicians is My Bloody Valentine’s Kevin Shields, who gave a rare video interview from his studio in Ireland to talk about his experiences with Fender over the years. He talks about a lot of the guitars that he owns — and he has quite a few of them — and reflects on his first encounter with a Fender.

He first saw Rowland Howard of the Birthday Party playing a Jaguar, a Jazzmaster offshoot, and knew that’s what he desired. “I wanted that shape, but I had never actually seen a Jazzmaster in Ireland until ’88.” He then talks about the first time he used a Jazzmaster — a ’64 red one — when recording the You Made Me Realise EP in 1988. The first song he wrote with it was “Thorn,” and that very quickly was followed up by “Slow.”
