the blizzard pearl one is right in front of it. and the strat behind it was some kind of dark grey color. black top strat. HSH with tele pickup in the middle. but the thing has a fucking eric clapton pushpush button on it.

another FSR. im guessing all these are guitar center exclusives. i started asking the guy questions about them. this was his answer.

"duuuuuuuuuuude i just got here, i never seen em before i have no idea what they are"

Almost as bad as in Dawson's in Leeds where a Jaguar was labelled as a Jazzmaster (perhaps understandable) and a Marauder was labelled as a Telecaster (WHAAAAATTTT!???).

bound and dots has to be my favorite for jag/jazzy guitars. would be sold on that if it had a jag trem and a white/mint guard.

also the binding on the green one was kind of aged...almost mint.

the binding on the blizzard one was bright white

Tuning a First Act guitar can be pretty challenging with or without a tuner.

PEBKAC

or in this situation PEBGAC

Tuner or no tuner, when the intonation and tuners on a guitar, like, for example, the toy First Act guitar somebody gave my daughter as a christmas present, are completely shit, the guitar is so untunable it is barely a musical instrument. Like, the 12th fret is at least a full step away from the harmonic, and there's no truss rod, and the nut is a joke, and guitar is made out of plastic, and the frets are spaced wrong. It is basically impossible to tune a guitar that is garbage. And that's been my only experience with First Act guitars, this crappy one my daughter had, and then seeing them in boxes at Toys R Us.

So all that constitutes PEBKAC/PEBGAC because I said they are hard to tune? Sick burn, guys.

Did it play/feel much different to the 'plain' blacktop jobbies? I'm wondering if it's a totally different neck or whether they've just embellished the same stock...

I played the silvery one yesterday.
Jags should never have humbuckers.
Loved the neck though, by jesus christ it's nice.
It just doesn't sound like a jag.

Definitely chunkier. I liked it better than the regular Blacktop necks.
