ok, initial reactions to the jm strat since I haven't found the time for a proper photo shoot...
MISMO mga dudes. I love it to bits. It's definitely worth all the hard work and sacrifices I put in to get it.
I know tone is relative to the player so of course, these are just my own opinions...
The sound's awesome. I have a Fender strat plus 40th anniv release which is one of my babies and the JM strat wins over it big time. The sound is fuller, the tone is thick and warm, and even playing with it unplugged is something else. i definitely can say it's because of the big dipper pups as I've got lace gold's on my other strat. It's really something else. the quack I'm looking for is right on... It's actually the tone I'm after and I'm so blessed to finally be able to own my dream guitar and get the tone I was searching for in it. If God put a dream in your head, it means you'll get it
