Oof that sucks. Sometimes those little snafus are the “fun� way to learn this stuff about vintage/reissue inch/metric OEM/aftermarket peculiarities... obviously not on the type of build where it jeopardizes your pricey Warmoth order though. Worst prob I’ve had with them is not get...

The pots thing: Any guitar with a single coil and a humbucker is going to have the wrong pots for approximately half of the sounds it makes. Yes this is true, barring P-90s. To that end, they should’ve done what Kurt wanted; a hotrails in a 250k guitar, something the pickup was geared toward...

This would be an interesting open question... mine was $450 the same year, in a shop where they regularly ran out of $6-700 CIJ Mustangs and Jags but always had 5 Jag-Stangs on the wall.

That Gretsch Electromatic I had for a week in May has now edged it out but yeah, JS was probably the worst of my 22-ish guitars since ‘96. Kinda poorly built too, glue seeping out from under frets and all on mine. And like Mike, was pretty embarrassed to realize that guitars like the Epiphone ...

500k pots solve most of the problem, the guitar more or less calls for replacement pickups at that point though.

Wow, MIM this time but $1250? Ouch! Can't find em on the USA site yet. The original Jag-Stangs sold for around what a Squier CV does in the US now. And they’re shit guitars. Fender were about as lazy as possible translating the crayon drawings of a man unknowledgeable in the technical realm ...

This is absolutely gimmicky, but it's almost about as fun a gimmick as electric guitarists are capable of nowadays.

There's still no talkbox for farts called "Talkbox 2," hope someone's typing up the GoFundMe as we speak.

Many modern Teles use 500k pots, including CVs, MIM Standards and I think American Standards, it's part of the modern vibe. Your guitar actually clearly has 250k pots in it and even appears to use a linear taper (or B-curve) pot for at least the volume control (ordinarily it would be the tone contro...

Capos make all necks sound like Brazilian rosewood by narrowing the sonic range of the mojo arrows coursing through the maple’s tonesyrup. If I was forced to put it in layman’s terms I’d say it really sweetens up the presence around 4-6kHz.

Strings don’t really touch fingerboard wood by design much, only contact with the frets is important. I think the one-piece maple necks make a difference. With maple laminate boards they can come off similar. It’s mainly the neck that makes any given guitar sound like itself. Itâ€â„...

What plops said, it’s a tenor banjo neck on a guitar body. I have mine tuned to DGBE right now so it’s just the top 4 strings of a guitar and I’m playing all the stuff I was playing on ukulele with it. A baritone ukulele is a similar instrument, albeit nylon-strung (and rarely i...
