I'm passing as I should play the one I have under the bed a lot more. Only reason it's there is to keep it out of the kids reach but shouldnt make that an excuse not to play it

Someone over at OSG confirmed that AVRI guards fit nicely on the JMJM, just thought that I'd let you guys know!

Same, without the kids part !! Seems ludicrous to buy one when I have a '61 Jazzy under my bed not getting played.

If you don't have kids, why in the world is the 61 Jazzy under the bed? Dogs? Thieves?

Curious as to what your daily driver is.

Ordered one today. Bit hesitant about buying a guitar online, but the price was substantially better than buying instore.

Well, it's arrived now.

Nicely set up out of the box. Early impressions of course, but the neck feels great. Pickups perfectly matched.

Lovely necks aren't they.

Barely had it a day, but couldn't resist a little tweak. Witch hats left over from the Jagmaster project to replace the stock knobs.

Bronco Knobs would be my first mod :D

Edit. I wonder if White Bronco Knobs would look any good. I guess I could paint some of my Randall Bronco Knobs to see. :wink:

Yeah, a very good suggestion. White witchhats would probably look nicer all round, but I still prefer these to the stock ones. I've spent more than I probably should have modding guitars in the last couple of years (My US tele is a bit of a mess now), so I think I ought to just concentrate on playing for the time being!

It really is a lovely instrument. The trem isn't the smoothest at the moment (I haven't done anything to set it up), but it stays in tune pretty well.

got mine just before i went to work. only played it for 15 mins.

this J sig JM makes my 94' MIJ JM sound like a strat.

it's the chunkiest guitar (in sound) i've ever played.

those P90s are awesome. i like them as much as my novaks. really balanced throughout all three positions.

love the feel of the basketball bat neck. i always think jumbo fret makes guitar look toy-ish, but it works well on this guitar IMO.

i need to have more time with it to go details. will take some photos later :D

Where have all these guitars gone? You barely see any of them on eBay anymore.
