For sure that's a fantastic colour.
Talk about the Fender Jazzmaster, Jaguar, and any other offset waist guitars with us!

There's an MIM reissue?!?? Tell me more!CROSS_guitars wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2019 5:48 pmI'm guessing the MIM re-issue won't look any better than this.
There were some leaked pics from the 2017 NAMM show. That's all I know. They might not even reissue it.Stephen_42 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2019 10:20 pmThere's an MIM reissue?!?? Tell me more!CROSS_guitars wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2019 5:48 pmI'm guessing the MIM re-issue won't look any better than this.
Aw I've seen that (though it was Fender's new Hollywood office, not NAMM), I thought* you had new information!CROSS_guitars wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 12:26 amThere were some leaked pics from the 2017 NAMM show.

Best just saving up for the real thing or an egc. I doubt anyone would bother making them neckthrough and both the bean and egc pickups are custom built and huge parts of the sound.Mechanical Birds wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2019 1:34 pmKeep holding out hope we’ll get Ali Travis Bean copies but every month that I go look it’s never a thing.
Though I have seen Dan Armstrong Lucite copies and would probably be into owning one. An aluminum neck is probably just too expensive to make it worth buying one let alone any of those manufacturers trying to build them.
Sorry if I missed it elsewhere, but do you know if the stock Mustang plate will fit (given the modified body curve?) I think a new plate is a good idea, even aside from appearing to be made of plastic - the existing plate looks a little uh how do I put it - *turned on* .
As someone who owns multiple Aluminum neck guitars you really DO NOT want to cheap out on them. The EGC/T60 mashups are cool but you're really limiting yourself with just that combo when you could put a regular bolt-on on literally any kind of guitar, I bought an EGC bolt-on and stuck it on a Jazzmaster and it turned out awesome http://www.offsetguitars.com/forums/vie ... p?t=110415Mechanical Birds wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 12:58 pmI just want an aluminum
Neck guitar but will never ever be able to afford a Bean. EGC is more affordable for sure but still more than I’d probably ever be able to afford. I saw where they started making the Dan Armstrong copies and thought that was cool.
I think if I ever end up with anything like this it’ll be one of the T-60 w/ EGC neck mashup deals. Could swing that for maybe under a grand.

It says it's for a Mustang bass but I reckon it's actually the same as the Marauder reissue.
