Yeah, If you could do that, I would buy it. It would make switching to SY tunings painless.

Haha yeah, I pretty much only learn SY songs that have more than one song to a tuning that I like because other wise it isn't worth my time to switch the tuning for one song. :)

This one Here?

Or the vid with the Psycho shower scene...At the end, the guy has a  Fender "F" on his hand.  Yeah, I'm sure this "marvel of modern engineering" from Gibson will put Fender out of business.  Why doesn't Gibson spend some money to develop a proper headstock that won't break, or a solid body guitar that's not 200lb. 


I like Gibsons, but I can't do a thing with 'em.  They sound great when Pete Townshend played them(he plays Fenders now),  or Jimmy Page.  To me, most of them are ugly and awkward, though.  The exceptions being the ES335 and a couple Les Paul models.  Some SGs are okay, but I wouldn't own one.


End of rant... :D

Neither company has done anything new in over 20 years...

I like them BECAUSE they are old and retro..

They are dated, but I like old stuff..

Those  vids/ads are silly.. but whats worse is
the gibson/fender debating that goes on in the comments..

Jeeze they aren't local sports teams (though i cant
understand that whole collectivist my local team
versus their's BS anyways.. the fan has NOTHIGN to
do with how good the players are.. and sports move me about as much
reality TV though thats me and others.. most others will disagree.. )..
they're bloody tools for making music.. Give a musical genius a piece of
crap stock yamaha electric that costs $100 and they'll kill a knob on a $20K custom made
(insert any various guitar comapny name here) guitar everytime..

X-Gibson, then X-fender, Then X-Gibson fanboy... now I just play what I like
and don't take sides in a stupid debate that HAS NO merit..

+1 :D

How many headstocks must die????

Plus the damn SG neck is a club. I have enormous hands and even I get cramps playing the damn things. and they just feel cheap.

Les Pauls are heavy to be sure, but they do play sweet.

Tear your rotator cuff though.

strattlejazzuar.

You know, I like the name Jazzuar. Maybe Fender could make a new model by that name.
Or maybe someone could build a guitar here that has the best of both models and call it by the name Jazzuar.

Perhaps a double neck with a Jag and  a JM so you get both?

Sounds better than Jagmaster, I think.

firstly, thank you.

I originally had a plan to build a Stratelejazzuar out of a hardtail strat body, but sadly the forearm contour won't allow me to properly fit a jazz/jag trem :(

and as far as the "Jagmaster" goes, when it was a vista series model, i accepted it. any after that are just "jag-off-master"s, lol.
