A Lake Placid Blue day

Post by Thom »

It's my birthday on Saturday and as a Christmas/birthday present my fantastic parents bought me a KC Mustang! It's really nice to play. The neck is very similar if not identical to my CIJ Q serial Jag so immediately seems familiar and comfortable. Finish is great, haven't needed to tweak the set up at all, though imagine Dawsons will have had a hand in that.
I also bought myself one of the new Zoom Multistomps with Bluetooth. Not had much time to play with it yet, but I downloaded the Small Clone, Stone and the Klondike patches and they all sound very convincing.

First of all - Happy Birthday! :)

Second - VERY NICE!! 8)

Third - is the neck pretty slim on that? How would you describe the profile and size? I'm not familiar with the shape or feel of the CIJ Q serial era Jags, but weren't KC's favorite guitars supposed to have pretty thin necks on them?

Sweet man, happy BDay, and HNDG!

I love mine, probably my favourite player. Are you going to take it back to Bejing, or leave it here? Cool parents by the way.

Happy Birthday in advance for Saturday (I don't normally 'scale much at the weekend, so I'm sure I'd forget)!

Nice guitar. Demo an Zoom pedal too!

Thanks guys :).

Phil - yeah I'd still describe it as pretty thin. Certainly not as thin as my Jagstang, but still a nice C profile. Nut is marginally wider than the Jagstang too, 41mm I think.

Gusman - unfortunately leaving it here, so am playing it madly at every opportunity. Would love to take it back, but just don't have the space in the luggage allowance.
