Guitar Fetish is having a "Pre-Christmas Warehouse Clearance," i.e. a ridiculous sale on their jazzmaster copies. I can't bring myself to pull the trigger, 'cause I suck at guitar too much to justify having two, but yeah. http://www.guitarfetish.com/Jays-CRAZY- ... c_185.html

One of you dudes HAS to get this one:

The ILF zeitgeist could not design a more ILF guitar if it tried.

Dang I wanted one of those 335 copies but they only have the ugly flamed red one left

Also, can we start referring to the ILF zeitgeist more often?

Wish they'd sell half of these without the necks, can't really justify amount of the thing that I'd be throwing in the parts/trash bin on most of them (neck, tuners, some of the hardware, pots, wiring, possibly pickups, possibly bridge/trem).

I love the colors, I love some of the options, but I can't stand dirt cheap $200ish+ crapshoots.

So I take it these are not so good? I've never played one.

rfurtkamp · Post by **rfurtkamp** » Wed Oct 12, 2011 2:15 am

I've only handled two, a Tele and one of the Jazzthings. Hardware felt cheap, necks just didn't feel great, and fretwork/setup was awful. They look *really* nice, all the $$ went into looking nice.

Didn't plug either in, but wasn't really inspired to.

I'm sure there are probably some real diamonds in the rough; the level of QC led me to believe that it was a pretty much crapshoot as to what you'd get, a throwback to the 80s offbrand imports where you might find the one and only Lotus produced that year that was worth a damn, if you looked hard enough.

damn, I wish Gibson made SGs in this color.

In general, yeah, they'll all need some setup work, and there's the occasional report of bad fretwork. Hit or miss like Rondo. For a po' man's guitar, though, they're not bad, probably no worse than most Squiers or Epiphone. Elwood got one of the Jazzmaster clones and liked it: viewtopic.php?f=149&t=14934&start=324
