question for those who own both MIJ/CIJ and AV (or vintage) jaguars

Post by sookwinder » Wed Jan 24, 2007 5:21 am

whenever I look at ebay auctions for jaguars (which is often, as I have a sickness like that) and I see a MIJ/CIJ jaguar, the volume/tone control knobs always look too tall.  The aspect ratio of the knobs looks all wrong, when compared to the AV or the vintage jaguars

Can anyone who owns both a MIJ/CIJ and AV (or vintage) jaguars confirm or not confirm this observation of mine....  it's leeping me awake at night  ...  ;)

Yes, the Japanese ones have taller, thinner knobs.

I have discovered that the statement:

"....as the actress said to the bishop..."

can be used as a response to ANY statement in life.... try it out ...
