I can never tell what good looking tort is. It all looks like shite plastic to me.
It's like the wallpaper in really old Only Fools and Horses episodes. My brain can't handle the idea that anyone thought it ever looked good.

I don't like when there's too much going on, or if they look pixelated or something.
dark red or brown is nice, subtle "light" coming through. the AVRI guards usually look pretty good. I like the tort on the classic player jag. but I've seen some pretty nasty tort on some of the Squier VM jaguars and jazzmasters, either way too much going on or pixelated looking. I hate when they look good in a photo or from a few feet away then you look at it up close and it just looks like a shitty printed photo under a clear guard, that's a bummer.
for like a sunburst jaguar or jazzmaster I'd have to have a tort guard, also like doog was saying the finish was less grainy like a 59 then gold would be sick. other colors sans black I'd probably go with the white guard.

Back in Chez Bachelor, I could finally get the Staytrem collet on there. 'KIN 'ELL.. The stock collet was even tighter on there than my CV; I had to strap it to the bed and hit it with a hammer for ages like something out of Misery:
HI MY NAME'S CATRINA

It's from Rob Noirie's refinished CIJ Jag; I bought it off him for a ton and flogged the clubby stock VM neck on t'Bay. I think he replaced it with the neck from the Musicmaster he had that he much preferred.
Love that neck; proper effortless, great tuners, and the now-repaired break around the B string tuner hasn't given me a single issue.

Was the same on my Johnny Marr - I ended up having to use a breaker bar on a ratchet. Reckon they put them on with those pneumatic wheelnut things in the factory:Mike wrote:hahah unrealDoog wrote:'KIN 'ELL..

That's a tricky one to tally up with St Peter at the gates of music heaven.Noirie. wrote:Factfans: The guy who repaired the Jag neck also fixed Noel Gallaghers ES-355 and made some of MBV's reunion guitars.
Was it costly? Was it he who painted the headstock and put the decal? I remember the thread where you wanted to fix it yourselfNoirie. wrote:Factfans: The guy who repaired the Jag neck also fixed Noel Gallaghers ES-355 and made some of MBV's reunion guitars.

Refin, new pickups wired in and headstock repair cost me £180 in total. Quick turn aswell.sunshiner wrote:Was it costly? Was it he who painted the headstock and put the decal?
