Links to new additions:

http://www.myrareguitars.com
http://meatexz.com/cheesyguitars/erevan-krunk.html

I've only picked out the ones that to my eyes are definitely offset.  If you follow the links, there are some there  that are less contentious that those already added, though in my view they're not offset (in the case of some of the Russian and Armenian 'pieces', they're barely guitars), but if someone fancies getting the straight rule out...

I am not sure about that Krunk, the angle might or might not be strong enough, I have no way of measuring angles. Now that I look back on it, I am not even sure some of the guitars that I added really fit the category, those Martins for example. Some of the Jolanas (Czech, not on the list, but they are on that site just mentioned) are definitely offset though.

That's not really the 3 pu version of the ones I mentioned, I meant the Danelectro made ones, that one is Japanese, but yeah.

Schecter Hellcat and Hellcat VI should both be on there; the Fender offset influence is obvious. The bodies look pretty similar to the Marauder, the VI is based on the Bass VI (excuse the pun), and the 2005 Hellcat even has the JM/Jaguar tailpiece..

Musicman Albert Lee?  That's an offset, in my opinion!

Thank you for all your efforts, folks.  There are some Fenders still missing here, but for the life of me, I can't recall the model names.  I just remember them from growing up around guitar players like my uncle.

Best regards,

Ward

Is the G&L SC-2 an offset?
