Well alright then, I'll start saving for that sunburst one.
Been looking for a JM-style guitar with the proper tremolo - Thanks!

ooooohhhh.... blue is tempting. They cost about as much as a jagmaster, yeah?

With shipping and duties I'd expect so.

Why on earth does that guitar have a string bar?

dunno, but apparently the neck pocket works with a strat neck. 21 fret neck = slight gap though

strat necks are 21 frets.

or 22 w/ extended fret board.
someone of hcfx forum bought one and tried a squire strat neck w/ 21 frets, it ended up leaving a gap at the end of the neck pocket. the guy at fret city insists strat necks aikk work so my guess is that it has a squared off neck pocket and a round ended 21 fret shows gaps when installed

ah, so it's more like a tele neck pocket?

I don't like the way the knobs are so close to the pickups. I don't like how straight the fretboard looks, and it looks like it might be a very flat radius.

if you look really closely at the blue one the low e and the a string are about 2mms away from eachother.
its a stupid observation but that is all i can contribut to this thread at 5:30 a.m.

It's not saddled on the bridge correctly. It's probably just loose.
