Jaguar/Jazzmaster/Mustang/Jagstang/offset waist guitar thread!

[Saturn/Return]

rob nice your jag looks mytherious! makes me wanna play till i got callus!

Thanks for the kind words, Wency =)

Unfortunately it's in a place (the classifieds) where I don't want it to be but I have no choice...

I wish I could just keep it all. Offsets are beautiful guitars.

New offset/ short scale day! Enjoying this one to bits. My last short scale was a MIJ Jaguar back in 2006 so I lost touch all these years. This one has a great vintage vibe and a tone that's not plinky at all like how I remember my Jag. It's on the hotter side bordering on Tele territory. Great workmanship too and not a flaw anywhere. Needs a setup though and thicker strings. It's an Indonesian Vintage Modified Mustang which I think Fender/Squier is doing an excellent job with this line these days.

nice! i would agree on the quality of the VM series to be great..value for the price you pay for them

how's the bridge on that thing?

So far the bridge is OK, not bad, not great either. I won't be using the tremolo so I'll do that tweak to swap the springs to a tighter position. I do have some rattle on the saddles and a few saddles tend to creep down after playing. So I'll flip the bridge so I could intonate easier, put heavier strings for more pressure and locktite the saddle screws. The bridge is the only con I can think of in this guitar but really it's not that bad.

Fender officially announced the release of a new batch of strats, teles, and offsets.  Just skip forward to the news on the Rascal bass (lipstick pickups!) and the Blacktop Jazzmaster HH with competition racing stripe.  I guess they failed to announce the limited edition Marr Jaguar in Sherwood Green finish?

Eto sana yung aim ko dati. Kaso nag-sale yung 60's tribute na Gibson LP dati. Pero someday I'll have this. Congrats!

I'm pretty sure took the design from the original 70s Starcaster.
