Greetings! I just bought my first offset - it's arguably a little cookie-cutter, but is it good enough to pass muster here?

The guitar hasn't even arrived (top pic), and I've got black pup covers, trem arm end, and toggle cap on the way. The look will suit me better when the vintage white plastics are gone (bottom pic).

I’ve got Fender locking tuners coming because I have lockers on all my electrics. An upgraded spring for the Panorama is in the mail because I'm going to run 10-46, and I want to get all the dive out of the trem that I can. I also have a PureTone jack coming because I like how they feel.

And that's it for now! Looking forward to playing and learning from ya'll.

Hi Tim- I live here too, in Shrewsbury. Welcome! I bet we know a lot of people in common in the St. Louis way.

Nice first purchase! One of our guitar players has the same JM in black-out form.

I'm not from St. Louis, but I was there last weekend to see The Church.

Looks nice! Any updates?

Played it for a rehearsal and a set at church right after my post. Loved every minute of it. Plays differently than anything else I own, including my 97 Am Std Tele. Haven’t been back in guitar since then - played bass the next Sunday, took the family on vacay the next, and playing cajon this coming Sunday. But the week after that — look out

I’ve got Lambertone Ristrettos coming, when they go in I’m going to shield the guitar, tighten the trem arm holder, and replace the trem spring. Tinkering along

Nice!

Bienvenido! I must tell you, I admire your enthusiasm and approach to this first offset: full speed ahead.

It's inspiring. Guitar looks lovely by the way!
