Sookwinder (in reply to my hello in the introductions section) asked me to post some Pics of my stuff.
Sorry for starting a new topic on this, but I didn't know where else to post 'em,
since the thread in the offset forum is "YOURSELF & YER GUITAR."
Here are the Pics of the Jag.
The flakey stuff underneath the strings is all dandruff.
It's got the Schaller Bridge with rollers, totally fixed with two adapters (metal) that fit
snugly into the cavities. They got windings in them so the bridge can be adjusted
the way its supposed to by just turning the elevating screws that come w/ it.
The adapters allow for better contact bridge > body, resulting in higher resonance
of the whole construct, so the guitar itself is pretty loud when strummed (for a Jag).
The neck itself is shimmed for sustain reasons, also.
Only thing I don't like about it is the A-width of the neck (pretty rare, but horrible for
people with normal hand size). There once was a guy with small hands who wanted to trade
for a 64 Jazzmaster, but we lost contact. Dang. Lately I'm considering to put a conversion neck
on it (some weird in-between warmoth scale?) with a fat profile so as to make it more of a player.
Anyone had experience w/ removing the metal shieldings on the Pups? That mod is supposed
to mellow them out a bit...
Cheers, Michael
Pics of the Jazzmasters will follow.
Sorry for the layout of the links, but
I couldn't find another way to get them to work.
