Re: Handmade / Custom Offset Guitars on Reverb
Make: Clifton
Model: Cleveland
Price: $1,500
Body Material: Black Walnut & Spalted Hackberry (a bit pretentious, right?)
Scale: 25.5"
Tremolo: No. Hipshot fixed bridge
Is the lower waist anywhere near the bridge: Eh... no.
Good / Ridiculous / Lame: Just a little bit lame.
This take on the Jazzmaster with a bit of influences from the Mustang has upper and lower boughts that leave something to be desired. The are almost offensively apologetic for existing.
The pickups are too close together, with the bridge pickup too far from the bridge, right?
That said, I'm using it as my first post back after a long break because the make is my name.

Re: Handmade / Custom Offset Guitars on Reverb
Make: Forshage
Model: Galaxy
Price: $2,599.99
Body Material: Alder
Scale: 25.34” (??)
Tremolo: Typically a Strat-style tremolo with Telecaster barrel saddles.
Is the lower waist anywhere near the bridge: No. It's only moderately better than a non-offset.
Good / Ridiculous / Lame: Well, that depends...
This boutique dealer brings us a guitar that looks either really good, or like a factory reject from First Act, depending on nothing more than the pickups used. The Telecaster bridge position pickup version is WAF (wonky as fuck, thank you) while humbucker or gold foil versions look, in my opinion, fantastic.

Re: Handmade / Custom Offset Guitars on Reverb
THIS IS NOT AN OFFSET
Make: Gletty Guitars
Model: StoneMaster
Price: $2,311.34 (it is in Germany)
Body Material: Alder
Scale: Unknown
Tremolo: No. Chopped Telecaster type bridge.
Is the lower waist anywhere near the bridge: It is!
Good / Ridiculous / Lame: This offset inspired guitar is not an offset itself. But I kind of like it. The lower half of the guitar is pretty much just a Jazzmaster. The upper half pulls back the top horn and the waist, making it not an offset.

Whoa that's trippy. It looks like a Jazzmaster after you stole his nose.

Not very imaginative, yet I’m not offended by it.

Sign me up, actually! I have a feeling I'd prefer these positions.valley_parade wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2019 1:28 pmThe lesser known positions of two pickup guitars: neck-middle and middle-bridge.

Re: Handmade / Custom Offset Guitars on Reverb
I don't think the bridge pickup placement is off. the low e side of the pickup being closer to the bridge interests me. i played a dick dale strat setup that way and got a heftier twang off the low e and more mellow high string sounds.
shub makes some great looking instruments. would love to play one.

Re: Handmade / Custom Offset Guitars on Reverb
^^That Ruby is kinda cool.
It makes me think that someone who liked both Jazzmasters and SG's, decided to make a hybrid of the two. I like it. It would look cool with beveled edges like an SG too (though maybe it does and it's just hard to see).
