You don\u2019t need to be an offset guitar connoisseur to appreciate the beauty of Nels Cline\u2019s beat 1960 Fender Jazzmaster, affectionately dubbed\xa0\u201cWatt.\u201d On today\u2019s Fretboard Journal Podcast, we talk to the former owner of that\xa0guitar, Mike Watt himself. Watt reflects on his ongoing friendship with Cline, his ownership stint with the Jazzmaster (which was briefly owned by J Mascis before Watt bought it via Rick King at Guitar Maniacs), the Minutemen and more. We ask Watt about the recent release of Ring Spiel Tour \u201895, an amazing live document featuring Watt with Eddie Vedder, Dave Grohl, Pat Smear and William Goldsmith.

Also discussed: D. Boon, EMG pickups, Floored by Four, the Black Gang, a potential signature model Mike Watt bass and more.
