|
|
I bought this off Fenderguy on Offset back in the summer but life's been keeping me busy with kid starting school & getting married to post much so better late than never! Plus I can't stop playing it.
I bought it all original bar the tuners which were replaced way back when. It had had a recent fret job & I have since had a new nut installed bringing the e a little further in as I was accidently muting it. I also fitted a staytrem bridge & trem.
Guitar plays & sounds great, neck pup is big clean & glassy & the bridge has a tele twang to it. I have it strung with 11 flats. Recently flew up to Aberdeen for a gig & when I got back to London flipped the case & the guitar was still in tune.
Some pics I took today...
Some better quality pics from the seller.

Lovely, it looks really similar to mine in the wear department, it's clearly been played.
Glad you're enjoying it! |

I love how theese old necks have usually no to little fret wear and then you play a vm squier for 3 years and you get dents on the high strings so deep you have to dress the frets. |

I got my JCM800 in a small shop in Gloucester for £499. Sold it a few years later for £900! _________________ MadeByMike.co.uk - Handmade Pedals and Custom Builds

I think you're maybe thinking of that turquoise goatsejag that was from near my work, with the terrifying rout under the guard? |

Yeah I didn't buy that, they wanted £900 didn't they with replacement pickups etc etc.
Never could have played it in good faith just knowing what was lying under the pickguard *boke* _________________ MadeByMike.co.uk - Handmade Pedals and Custom Builds
