i really dislike lots of that colourful 60's artwork. it's the 60's version of those guys who cover themselves in tribal tattoos.

Truly can't wait for someone to buy that amazing psych strat and send it to MJT or whatever for a relic refin.

I know I say it a lot but ffs this is criminal. I don’t think anybody could say with any validity that a Bigsby is better than the Offset Vibrato. I know personal preferences, with guitars or anything else on earth, are subjective, but in every measurable way a Bigsby is a huge step down (pun not intended). The limited range of movement in strumming motion, the ease or difficulty of setting up/restringing, the range in pitch manipulation, etc. is all just better with the Offset.

Is that an aftermarket neck also? Has the weird blocks they use lately on the CV Jag/TVL Jazzmaster, etc. it’s not the MOST offensive example, but it’s pretty bad. I guess less so if it’s just a partscaster or something, obviously.

My first thought was that it might be one of those first edition VM Jaguars that came stock with dual humbuckers, a hardtail and a Strat jack.

Although... it's so ugly it's almost cool again. I mean, for half the price (€700) I would get it and rock it as is!

These ones are the worst. Where if you squint they sorta look like a guitar, but when you focus in on it there's not one bit of it that hasn't been ruined

Got introduced to a guy at work via zoom and he saw the guitars I've got in the background and we got talking. He showed me a picture of his '59 Les Paul Junior single cut that he bought for £95 in the 80s because some hair metal asshole had added a floyd and a high gain humbucker then sprayed it black... I immediately thought of this thread.
