Y U NO LIEK TREM?
Irrational fear of tuning issues is part of it. (I'm a pussy?) I don't mind my guitar being
slightly off, but I don't want to be constantly retuning. I've had some shitty floating trem experiences before.
Well, I'm not hoping to convert you, but in my experience the JAzzmaster trem (with a mustang bridge/buzz stop) is the most stable system around.

I guess I should also mention that the guy who makes the bodies also cuts custom guards as well. 3 ply from what I can recall. Mine is B/W/B and totally legit. Was only about $30 for it as well

That's the route I'd go for my burning desire. I'm sure you could do an awesome paint job yourself TD. That pink offset is sick though. Pink and maple look great, hence my love for the hello kitty squier...among others.

mmm. Pepto bismal pink. Might be interesting for a bit...but I totally see this guitar in milk chocolate brown with cream colored covers...mmm. Then put a big M on the back. I could really use some candy right now. Irrational M&M lust....

ITS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL BASTARD DESIGN. SCREW PICKGUARDS
I think traditional Jazzmaster/Strat knobs instead of the black rollers would look better though

For as cheap as I got my MIM Blacktop Jaguar, it's the heaviest and most solid of the guitars that I own!
