I almost did a post here the other day to say that I haven't seen any custom or handmade offsets on Reverb for weeks. I haven't abandoned the thread, just nothing to report.

Re: Handmade / Custom Offset Guitars on Reverb
"Offset" as generally accepted here pertains to the angle of the waist to the neck being over a certain amount (I forget the exact value that gets brought up -- IIRC there's an exact angle mentioned in the original Jazzmaster patent documents, so it's more or less whatever that was).AlumNeck wrote: ↑Fri Sep 06, 2019 5:53 amThe horns and body are offset to the neck what am I missing?sirspens wrote: ↑Fri Sep 06, 2019 5:42 amNot offset.AlumNeck wrote: ↑Thu Sep 05, 2019 4:40 pmI dig this shape on this one!

Otherwise a Strat would be ever-so-slightly offset, but we all agree that it's not.

Re: Handmade / Custom Offset Guitars on Reverb
Definitely offset, pretty cool design, but I personally don't understand why people are obsessed with relic jobs on designs that haven't existed long enough to actually have accumulated any play wear.

Re: Handmade / Custom Offset Guitars on Reverb
Pure madness leaving such an expensive instrument outside in the rain and completely ruining the paint work.

Oh yeah. Abernethy makes some great boutique offsets.
Except for the headstock, of course. It is indeed awful.

Absolutely. Looking at it gives me the dry boak.

Re: Handmade / Custom Offset Guitars on Reverb
This one doesn't exactly fit the theme, but with the lack of new fodder lately, it is too interesting to pass up. This is an Offset Stratocaster from the Fender Custom Shop. And it's sparkly!
Make: Fender
Model: Custom Shop Offset Stratocaster
Price: $5,287
Body Material: "Top Bound Roasted Alder Body w/ German Carve"
Scale: 25.5"
Tremolo: It actually has a floating (JM/Jag) tremolo, not a fulcrum trem.
Is the lower waist anywhere near the bridge: It's a little far forward for my taste, but it works.
Good / Ridiculous / Lame: You know what... I kind of like it. If this was released in a MIM Alternate Reality run, I'd consider buying it. Although, I think I can do without the humbuckers.

Re: Handmade / Custom Offset Guitars on Reverb
Make: Mario Guitars
Model: Serpentine
Price: $2,749
Body Material: Mahogany
Scale: Unknown
Tremolo: Strat type hardtail
Is the lower waist anywhere near the bridge: Nah.
Good / Ridiculous / Lame: Just barely makes it as an offset, but I really like the design, though I think I'd like the lower waist moved back a bit. Also, the pickguard is a little sloppy. Mario! Clean up the pickguard!
