What are the strings on the Jag too? They look like a really low gauge - I can hardly make them out.

Nice Tele, in that colour combo its got to be tuned to open G.

open G? nah...that's just on a standard tuning. The strings actually look "thick" with that yellowish coating on it. Anyway, I'll have to change that soon. The Jaguar's wearing invisible strings :D

oh by the way I'm being offered with a trade for a Squier VM Jazzmaster (in olympic white)

That tele is awesome, I really love the wood grain. Those strings are lame though.

My late father in law has/had a '74 sunburst. It's at my mother in laws and she keeps telling me to take it, but I kept refusing as I never really fancied a tele, but assumed I would one day. I re strung it a couple of weeks ago when I was last there, and REALLY enjoyed playing it.

Might not be long before it's finding it's way to a new home 8)
