There's going to be an American Vintage 2 series apparently.

that manual even has "the decal".

They've finally released the manual:

I see it has the new larger headstock in it. I wonder if that's connected to delay in releasing the manual. Would be interesting if it was always meant to have the larger headstock and someone at the factory simply screwed up and nobody noticed until it was too late.

off topic, is there an american original jaguar manual? Im going to refinish my classic lacquer and I might as well print a decal myself with the reference after the refinish.

Thanks

Aye, that’s it there man. The AV65 Jag manual’ll have the exact same decal print as the AO also.

Part of me suspects that the simply had a bunch of AO necks that had already been milled, and needed to use up the stock. No point in releasing a manual with the "correct" headstock when all these first-year models had the wrong on on them.

Probably just wanted to quietly make the change and hoped that most people wouldn't notice or care.

What ended up happening? I've been away.

They corrected the JM headstock, it's now the proper CBS shape. Don't think there was any kind of acknowledgement, the new headstocks just started appearing in photos and on the new instruments dealers were receiving.

What kind of people would have noticed or cared? They would be animals.

Urgh my will to pick up an ex-display DR JM is being tested… I already have an AV65 but they just look so cool

JFC, dude can't even get his inbox in order and he thinks he's some kind of hero. What a turd

I wonder if the "Drafts" folder contains 429 other angry emails?

So the large headstock JMs are now available from Fender and are appearing in shops in the UK (Peach Guitars has some). Has anyone bought one of these yet? I'm just wondering if they've sorted out the quality control issues at the same time. I'm struggling to come up with reasons not to buy a DR one. Besides not needing one and not really being able to afford one that is.

Also in the U.S., I own one with the larger headstock in LPB. Quality is top notch!

I am in the states, but I recently got mine. It's flawless. 3TS.
