gafbass02 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) I've always loved the look of jags, but the amount of criticism online re the bridge/scale/switches/radius/etc put me off, when I saw these I knew I had to have one, and by sheer luck this one came up on eBay right at my birthday A set of stripes and blocks later and some .11 strings and its mine I appreciate the mods to the looks may not be to everyone's taste, but I like it. Sounds nice, the triplebucker isn't all that, I'll replace with a standard humbucker when I can afford to pay a tech. I only really use the bridge on guitars, the jazzmaster pickup sounds nice, but benefits from the tone being rolled back a little, build and playability are nothing short of spot on. Wish the switch was angled though, its tricky to swipe as it is, not that I need to lol. It feels like a Japanese fender, very quality feeling indeed. Not bad for a cheapo made in China budget Fender I must say.

I never used to like retro guitars at all, but I'm coming around to them more and more these days. I don't suppose I'd ever own one, but that looks very nice! I think I'd lose the bridge HB in favour of a more retro looking one though, so I agree with you there. Nice birthday pressie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruiner Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Looks great with the competition stripe. How does the triple bucker compare to a regular humbucker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I did rather contradict myself there! The triplebucker with its the two bridge most coils just sounds like 'a humbucker' its the best sound on the guitar by a long way. All three coils on adds a slight single coil 'quack' but really isn't a great sound at all. I've a white Seymour Duncan I'll get fitted when I've the spare cash. I'd have no clue where to begin. The Duncan has a trillion wires coming out of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Mariner Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Looks great Gaf. If I'm down in Chelty sometime I'll let you know, if you'd like the bucker fitted FOC. Though Seymour Duncan? I'm a Dimarzio fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe.staffs Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I put stripes on my brothers one too. Are the block inlays stickers? Also where are your stripes from?
