I finally got around to getting a decent pickup put into this guitar since I bought it from Thom like a year ago. Sounds a lot better now. The neck is still a bit wider than I'd like, but it's a nice guitar.

Definitely looks better with a white pickup also. All this time I was searching for the right screws to work with the messed up threads the JB jr had, in the end I just drilled out the threads a bit to fit the stock screws through it.

I thought the neck specs on those were a straight rip of the squier super sonic neck?

Nah, wider. I looked into it as my possible baby hand Excalibur but no dice. WOuld still like to try one though.

the neck on the one i played felt EXACTLY like the neck on my 2002 CIJ compstang

Its wider than a Supersonic. I expected it to be like the SS but it's not.

I'm going to be using this as my backup to my Musicmaster, one thing I can say is it makes it easier to do certain types of notey chords, I finished writing two songs on it yesterday as it gave me some different perspectives to try out. I still prefer the smaller neck but single-notes are definitely easier to play on this thing.

Which Dunk more Semen pickup did you get ?

JB Jr. I have one in my Jag and knew I liked the sound of it.

jb's are a great all around rocker. hot but not too hot, and punchy as all get out.

Yeah, it's definitely punchier than the stock hot rail, which was why I had to replace it.

I really love those guitars, and one day I'll eventually get one. Probably when I finally head to uni and don't have to justify buying another guitar to my parents .

Nice! Looks good with the white pickup.

I like that guitar. Neck feels off to me, but I'd still buy one for the right price.
Congrats.

That's what I did! Now I just have to hide 'em when they come to visit.

I know the feeling. Right now that is my #1 motivation to finish my Ph.D, get a job, and move out.

When you finish your Ph.D., you can have eighteen guitars. Trust me, I'm a doctor.

all this talk about parents disapproving of your guitars . . .

It's just not very punk rock, shortscale. Am disappoint.
