Nice sounding guitar. Good demo as ever Mike.
CAR is not a colour I particularly like, but each to their own.

Does anyone know exactly what pickups were installed on the very first edit Vista Jagmasters, the ones with CIJ Jaguar necks? (no headstock truss rod access). Some people have hinted that they are Atomics or Dragsters.

Yeah, I didn't do my research until after I said it right on the internet for the whole fucking school to read, which is pretty much textbook me.

Anyway Cheers all, and Jimmy yeah the ones currently sold will take a Strat neck fine.

The backs of them are different to the Jag-Stang bucker, which Fender say is not a Dragster but is a specially designed humbucker (my arse).

Cool demo. It has tempted me to dust off my old Jagmaster. Lovely guitars.

Not bad enough for me to want to change mine out... yet.
I find they have a particular voicing that I've grown to rather like and that I been unable to immitate with other guitars.

Not a great pickup by a long stretch but I think they have their niche.
