What the hell are those marks on the neck about?

Off to check out the thread. Not that I have anything to trade.

Just reading his post made me think he was a prick. I dunno why.

Anyway, this is not a good example.

there is a B&B '69 that sits on Denmark St and Ebay for £1,995 which is very clean. I already decided I will never spend that coin on a guitar though:

Ever.

I didn't post it in a 'you should get this' style, I thought you were out of the vintage Jag market for the time being. More that it had quite cool wear (on the body at least, fuck the neck burns). I find the pristine examples to be quite boring.

Sure enough.

The fact he considers a Nitro finish to be a factor is a massive DOUCHE flag in my opinion.

Urgh it's got one of those shit new bridges on it! LOOOOSER!

Um even my Jag is better example than this, and it's been repainted.

You already confessed it's a lemon too, remember?

It's not as weedy as I remembered, having played it for a bit after Benworkoffire borrowed it and put the a jag bridge back on. The bridge pickup needs more oomph, but it's actually okay otherwise. Still not as good as a new AV one, imo.

Still ain't worth it.

I have to be able to justify it, it's the way I'm built. And it ain't. Worth. It.

+1. Fuck them bridges. Srsly.
It should be renamed the 'loser bridge'. I recently set up Noirie's stock bridge and ask him how is Jag sounds/performs now.
