WHOA! Amazing! I want it.

I saw that and thought it was shady as well. But there are so many shady people on NY craigslist.

Damn, I love my 62 with humbuckers but I would gladly sell that for 2k if I could buy this baby. Fiesta red!

If I had the money I would pull the trigger.

What is considered "normal guitar polish" then? haha this IS getting really intense, I just made a trade and acquired a Deluxe Strat which is awesome except the (all maple) neck is dirty as hell.

What can you do to clean maple? Other than naphtha?

Who is making an Antigua reissue? Fender japan I assume.

He looks like he is playing that guitar with his mind in that picture.

Damn, those look great. Gotta keep a watch on the ebay I guess...my Jaguar has Sperzel locking tuners which are fine but I would prefer the originals I think.

Oh, so the Jags and Jazzmasters had the metal ones? Gotcha. Thanks!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=360119936814\ Are these the same as what were used on a 62 Jaguar? I know very little about which tuners were used around then, the subtle differences, etc. If they are, I might think about buying them, if the price ...

I know to round out my dream guitar collection I want a Jag with single coils (my Jag has humbuckers) and a Jazzmaster, in Candy Apple Red and Lake Placid Blue, with matching headstocks. That would be so ridiculously awesome.

Could be -- I hope so. I have played Classic Players both Jaguar and Jazzmaster and enjoyed both of them. I also think Fender probably wants to keep the matching headstock rare/desirable so they don't want to just slap it on every guitar they make.

So the next question, is why don't they make the Classic Players with matching headstocks

I used to work at GC....that must be a door buster of some sort since they're only making about $30 at that price. Yeah, the jazzmaster is still 749 and 809... I am tempted to buy it at 459 and resell on craigslist in a month for 600.... That would be wrong, but ?? That or pick it up to mess with a...

How do the Classic Players compare to the CIJ? I covet the matching headstocks of the CIJ. I have heard that the CIJ pickups are much less hot, but that neither of them are really vintage accurate, not that that matters too much to me..

Haha yep. But to someone with -3 feedback. (which is not me!) So maybe I can still get it...

So tempted....may buy tonight. Don't need, WANT A LOT.

Ah, good call. I guess I should be looking for one with the large pickguard if that's the direction I wanna go.

I'm thinking about picking up an SG but I love the mini-buckers, both look and sound, like on the 70s SGs. Is it easy or even possible to put mini buckers on a normal SG?
