Fisheth Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 [quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1473166099' post='3127558'] So we have got to the point of giving money out. Did someone say there was a cheaper way than just sending it through a bank? Shame the build time is 15 weeks - I have enough difficulty waiting for a shipment from thomman! [/quote] Transferwise!

BassBunny Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I played Transferwise off against FC Exchange when putting the deposit down on a Spanish property. FC Exchange won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shemeckfrac Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 After a long period of GAS for a Jake, I finally got my hands on this. Great built quality, light, easy to play and most importantly the huge, warm sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it builds the anticipation whilst waiting for that email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumbabba Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 OK you've all pretty much convinced me to get one! I think I'm going to go for a medium scale (which I never realised was an option before) but I'm slightly concerned that a shorter scale might affect the tone of the instrument. Is this something I should be worrying about or should I just shut up and get on with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]I've got a medium scale Jake, to my ears, it makes no noticeable difference, it plays great and is so much easier to get around the fretboard with my slightly artritic fingers which restricts my stretch a bit, and being just under 7.5lb, it also agrees with my back and neck problems.

skej21 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Interesting to see what appears to be a 'relic'd' finished Maruszczyk on the Facebook page today... It would appear they're really trying to put Fender to the sword! https://www.facebook.com/MARUSZCZYKINSTRUMENTS/posts/10153650676217396:0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
