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.

jazzmaster classic player with lollar pups and a 1960s silvertone silhouette S1478

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

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


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


'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


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


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.

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.

Can we be friends?

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.

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.

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!!!
