You should make an excuse to come over and pick up the Silvertone so you can give it a strum.Thanks for all the support, everyone. It means a hell of a lot to me
Like a guitar, but...betterugly casanova wrote:awesome craftmanship and great design. how does it sound?
It sounds the business, actually. Those pickups are every inch as good as the JM ones I had from him. I haven't had a chance to really crank it yet, but it feels really, really solid, and the sound amplified reflects that. I guess it's slightly darker and tighter than I remember a vintage Jag - steeper break over the trem, angled pickups etc. The phase switch has surprised me - I've never really liked them before (though it hasn't stopped me trying...) but this one seems to be a lot less quacky than I expected. The other major thing is how quiet it is. No hum. At all.
Chambered body + helium. Works a treat - no need for a strap.antisymmetric wrote:The levitation feature is interesting- do all guitars with Jag pickups do that?
