Not exactly offset-waist but the shape is vaguely Jazzmastery. One of my straight-up dream guitars:

Here's another one by a small-time builder in the US, not offset but it's Rxckenbacker as hell and you weirdos might like it:

Looks like a cross between a Jazzy and a doublecut LP junior

12-60 or anything in that range. Depends on what kind of Jaguar you're using. I jammed with my friends once with my best friend using a VM Jaguar with the stock bridge in drop B.

Well, if I had to chart it down to anything they were less common up until recently and they have a distinct sound to them in their standard form. Jaguars and Jazzmasters are bright and clear but also have a lot of punch to the tone, so it's satisfying to listen to (and we listen to bands that use them a lot) apart from being comfortable. Right now, I don't really want to own EVERY offset. Parang personally, ayoko mag Mustang ulit unless it's the Pawn Shop 'stang. Jazzmasters naman, I think I found "the one." Jaguar na lang siguro. I've owned a Mosrite, and several Jagmaster-style guitars and they're just not my cup of tea although the Mosrite does look bitchin.

Siguro, masaya na ako sa offset life ko if I get a Jaguar and a Bass VI. Ano pa ba hanap mo na offsets, guys?

Im thinking of selling off the jagHH again..at least lessen the stuff i have...right now I really want a non reverse firebird..an deimel.. (dreams lang) Id love to get a true blue jazzmaster (white with red or brown tort) as medyo nakakasawa puro Humbuckers sa stable..hahaha Ive got the gibby for HB work..well see..kakatamad nadin paminsan...lalo kung wala namang tugtog or jam na regular... isa sa thrills sa madaming cool guitars is yung pag ikot ikot nila everytime may jam or gig..parang feeling ng may bagong sneakers tapos ipapanggimmik mo for the first time..haay..

Haven't you ever considered just modifying your Jag HH to have regular Jaguar pickups? Tutal may Vibramate ka naman. Just get two Jaguar pickups and an Allparts Jag pickguard (since Japanese yung Jag mo). Madali lang naman mag wire-in ng pickups. Feel ko lang baka di mo pa maappreciate ang Jaguar experience kasi naka humbuckers ka pa.

Mag eBay ka lang ng 65 AVRI pickups or ng Duncans. It'll be fun, promise. Plus you could get tort for that thing!

Pics! Project offset ba? Don't get the Allparts trem. Go to the Darrenriley site and look for an MIM or AVRI trem and get the matching arm to be sure. I personally HATE the Japanese Fender trem on my Jazzmaster (it works but I hate the spring, have to replace the whole unit as well) but it gets the job done.

it's not a project offset it sounds different from my other jag i came to a conclusion similar guitar models have different sound the one i got now is bit heavy compare to the blue jag... I agree with jap trem it feels so low and flimsy my jm has it ... my blue jag has the avri trem there is such a difference it feels rugged and angulated ... darren riley has an FB account so i add him now. I will check .. as for got broke

so ill live with jap trem for now

I'm currently happy with my Squier VM Jaguar and Fender Classic Player Jaguar + Jazzmaster. But if I can save up extra money, I'm gonna buy a Fender '65 AVRI Jazzmater in Aztec Gold.
