Jake was friends and roommates with John his buddy that worked in the Charvel shop in San Dimas Glendora CA. All the rockers in Hollywood had flashy guitars so Jake was after a little individuality. Jake owned the 74 hardtail Strat in LA in the early 80s and used it in all its 3-tone sunburst glory with the band Rough Cutt. He played all the fenders there and walked off with the hardtail Strat. The owner said he would give Jake a good deal so Jake could pick out something he liked. Some history, Jake worked at music store when he was young and tried a bunch of Strats. Funny note here, the specifications i just mentioned are NOT included in any of the recent Charvel/Fender re-issue JEL Whitey replicas for sale today… just saying LOL Some unique features of Jakes real Whitey are a bullet truss rod at the headstock, 3-bolt neck, vintage tremolo string spacing 2-7/32”.
