Hi, So... I pulled the trigger on this beast, and she's now all mine mwah ha haaa!!!! And... within a few hours of owning/playing I managed to destroy the trem... Or at least so I thought! The collar that the trem arm slots into literally dropped into the body of the guitar and was rattling about al...

Hi, Here's a link to some pictures of the guitar in question: http://s629.photobucket.com/albums/uu15/erikryman/Jazzmaster/ If it is basswood... is that a bad thing? You mention all the same spec... Is that good or bad - compared to the more recent re-issues (classic players) etc? Thank you, Mike

1992 Jazzmaster

Hi, I'm looking to buy a used Jazzmaster but I haven't been able to nail down what spec if might be. It's Olympic white with red tort scratch guard. It's a 1992 model, it's Made In Japan (not crafted), it has dot's not blocks. The seller thought it was a 66-reissue, but I think it might be a 62-reis...

Which Jag? MIJ 62 RI or MIJ B&B?

Hi, Please could somebody offer some advice (advantages/disadvantages) between these model Jag's - as I'm a bit stumped right now :( Both the models I'm looking at are sunburst in colour (lol)! The B&B versions serial number (T065767) checks it out to be a 1996 model (I think). I don't know the ...

Hey Jack, Looks like you got a very nice Jag' there. I'm also looking at pulling the trigger on 66 RI big-block... I've read really good things about the necks on these models, but what's holding me back at the moment is what I've read about the pickups. Are they really that bad compared? Can anybod...

Oops! I messed up in my previous post! I actually have a 2002 '72 Telecaster Custom (Fender HB at neck, single coil at bridge) - not a telecaster deluxe as stated! :oops: I've not measured the neck on my tele, but I believe it has a c-shaped neck with 7.25" radius - which if the above postings ...

Jazzmaster necks

Hi, After considering both Jag-stang and Jaguar, I'm now homing in on a Jazzmaster as I believe it offers more versatility - and offers a more different sound to my Tele deluxe. But before I take a leap of faith I'd like to know a bit more about the neck on the particular JM I'm close to getting. Th...

Hi, Thanks for all the replys - all good stuff. Something i'd like to hear more about - is how different they sound to my tele custom - and maybe an example track that has a very specific js/jag sound/solo. I don't know if this makes sense, but I had been considering a semi-acoustic (a casino or sim...

What to expect from a Jaguar/Jagstang

Hi, I'm a noo-b to all things shortscale/jaguar/jagstang and I was wondering if I could get advice and if possible a comparison (advantages/disadvantages) between these two types of guitar. I would also be interested to find out how different (in terms of tone, neck profile etc) each of these guitar...
