My Gibson SG Faded Special. The wood is a lot lighter in person, a real nice mahogany color. The pickguard is also closer to a cream color.

That Jazzmaster looks sweet. What were the original pickups on them like? I heard the CP pickups are closer to P90s than they are "real" Jazzmaster pickups.

I'm actually wanting to get a new Jazzmaster/Jag, my MIJ Jazzmaster is a bit crap, truth be told, and I'm looking at the CP stuff. I tried the CP jag with 2 humbuckers over the weekend, and I liked it a lot.

I got my classic player jazzmaster for about $600 and at that price i think it was definitely worth it. the standard stock pickups in the CPs are pretty hot and while they didn't sound horrible, it definitely wasn't what i wanted from a jazzy. Also the electronics in the guitar were a mess. So once you put a little TLC into it and drop some new pickups in, it sounds much better. I'm thinking about replacing the bridge with a roller bridge but right now it holds pretty well in most of the alternate tunings i use. If you can't find one cheap though, try waiting a little longer and saving up for making a partsmaster or getting a good AVRI.

sometimes i question if i should've just waited and shelled out more cash for a normal jm with a normal jm trem... but then i remember that i enjoy putting work into a guitar :thumb:

Sorry about the terrible phone quality photos, gotta get me a good camera one day!!! but music comes first ;)

DSC00854.JPG

'67 Vox Starstream, super easy player, plus those effects!!!

DSC00855.JPG

'63 Jag, my main toy, always sounds great, I'm taking that baby to the grave with me!!! Also a '68 Yamaha bass - sounds great, just gotta set up the intonation properly one day

DSC00853.JPG

Late 60's (?) Japanese ricky copy. Plays sweet, sounds like a 60's Ric copy should - garage goodness here.

DSC00856.JPG

late 60's Telestar Bison copy - this has the nicest pups on any Japanese guitar I've played, bar a Spectrum 5. This thing rawrs through any good fuzz, it plays especially nice with the Team Awesome Fuzz machine.
buncha stuff...

Cool. I was considering that as well. Getting a new regular JM and shelling out for one of those "Mastery" bridges, or even settling for the Mustang bridge. Depends how good a deal I get. I've been GAS-ing for a red Jag/JM and the CP JM doesn't come in red, but the Jag does... Got a lot of saving up to do, though.

Just got this bad thang:

Soopa rare '69 Hagstrom HIIN transition model (6 in a row headstrock instead of 3x3).

Straight robbed a ng in an even trade for a Vantage Analog Echo Machine, an Ibanez LF-7 and a Nobel's DX-TN!
I wish he had kept the original pickups or at least installed ANYTHING other than those Rockfeild Mafias but at that price, I'm not about to complain.

You're a bad, bad man.

and the above Vox is sickening. I might have to go and watch that youtube video showing off the effects and then go have a cold shower. :love:

Holy cripe, really dig all the vintage stuff! Got a soft spot for Vox and that Starstream makes my heart race just looking at it. Saw that youtube vid a few times and the built-in effects are unreal, the fuzz itself is worth the price of admission. :animal:

I have to admit, I usually hate headless guitars, but I kinda like those. If he made a bass model, I would absolutely try to pick one up. The noise switches are HAWT!!!
