Re: Bourns potentiometers?

I have a reissue 1959 Duo-Sonic that plays very well. One annoying weakness...the high-E string sounds unacceptably "thin" when I use the neck pup and roll off the tone with guitar volume set at max (for a "woman tone"). I understand that rolling off the tone will decrease the h...

your guitar is still a jagmaster because the body is still a jagmaster. i remember seeing you on squier-talk trying to sell off your shitty jagmaster neck with a fucking jaguar decal and you kept going about how your shitty guitar is now a jaguar, but it's still a fucking jagmaster. if the idiots in...

first, i can't stop laughing at this thread. second, to the OP, why not just tint the necks instead of staining them guido orange? third, i'd rather have an albino, bone white neck than one that looks like it belongs on the jersey shore. forth, you should be kicked off of eBay for selling necks wit...

i would pick the sunburst if it weren't for the tummy contour being painted black because of the veneers. because of that, my vote's for black with a MOTO 'guard.

Re: Guitars with neat sounds, not Start/LP/Tele-ish?

Leaning towards a Jag at the moment, but before that I was pretty big into the Jazzmaster thing. Gravitated back towards the Jag as it's probably more suitable for what I do, I mostly do electronic stuff but I'm adding in some manic post punky type riffage, the nastier sound of a Jag goes well with...

Yeah, I was thinking the "jag" tone was largely down to the bridge though, especially since the Jazzmaster has very different P'ups but still has that surfy vibe. Though that said most offset owners seem to gravitate towards "better" bridges, so maybe it's not really that much o...

It's the CP Jags I'm looking at, as you may have seen in the other threads. I know that's atypical in of itself.
the CP jag's neck is a little chunkier than the duo-sonic

i'm not saying i know how they work based on knowing how a TOM works. i'm saying that it gave me a general idea and i've watched jag/jazz/mustang setup vids to get a better idea of how they work.

Re: Squier Jaguar

i've had an LP and SG in the past and i currently have a CP jag hh, so i understand how the mustang and jag/jazz bridges work. That does give you some idea, but they are different beasts. The Tune-O-Matic and Adjust-O-Matic bridges are similar in that they're 2-post bridges, but the actual mechanic...

Re: Squier Jaguar

i happen to like the bridge and only having to raise the two studs to raise the action is a plus for me because i'm lazy and i think it's a pain in the ass to have to adjust 12 screws if i want to adjust my action. Guess you're not too familiar with the Jaguar/Jazzmaster/Mustang bridges. You can ad...
