Any good? I had a brief look at one in my local guitar shop, the neck seemed way way too thin for me so never bothered to pick it up and play it.electric12 wrote:I've got one of these chaps

Re: Non-Fender offset guitar thread...
The Galaxie's quite good actually. The treble pickup is a little hot I think.
The neck is OK but I find the fretboard to be a little modern and flat for me, but apart from that it's a nice player. It's very light and feels quite dinky on the strap!
Sound-wise it's sort of mid-way between a Jag and Jazzmaster and the trem is rather nice too.
All in all, for the money, it's nice, although I think if I had to choose between the Hofner and a Squier Jazzmaster (especially the JMJM) I would choose a Squier.

Interesting, cheers for your thoughts. I've always thought they looked pretty cool too, just the neck and the 3 pickups put me off.

Re: Non-Fender offset guitar thread...
I can imagine that the on/off slider switches might be a bit of a hassle for some people, but I suppose us offsetters are used to that sort of malarkey on our Jags and Mustangs!DaveC wrote:Interesting, cheers for your thoughts.

I played one of those Hofners in a local shop recently, thought it was pretty cool!

Friendly suggestion: you can just edit the original post so it's got the image embedded/ name added.
Also a lot of these are still pretty Fender-y, not that there's anything bad about that! One of my favorite offsets has always been the Mosrite VIII
