I bought a MIJ '65 Reissue (Classic Series, Daphne Blue) for 600 including shipping (from America) off Ebay in mint condition (minus the tiniest, tiniest of dings that you cant even see unless you look at it sideways in the light very intently)

I would look at around those prices!

That's ...

I'm looking to sell my gunmetal flake Fender Pawn Shop Series version in great condition. I posted a thread in the classifieds if anyone is interested.

This thread is a goldmine of information, thanks!

I'm currently trying to buy my first Mustang and I'm debating the merits of the beat to shit/stripped down finish vintage ones I seem to see for around 800-1000 and the used reissues that I see for around 600-800 (a lot of them have shipping from ...

Hi all,

I had some questions about strats as they somewhat interest me and wanted to look at them more in the future. I was wondering what models had a thin rosewood neck? As sOme of you know I am a fan of the mustang and jag stang and I love thin comfy necks.

I've heard a Japanese strat is the ...

Give us your thoughts of the J-S vs. the 65 Mustang? Which neck do you prefer? How are you getting along with each sound-wise?

Still haven't played the J-S as much (I think I am afraid to damage it or something haha). But my impressions of both guitars so far:

1. The neck PUP on the J-S is ...

Who the hell is the Anniversary? lol

Great guitar! Yeah, I never got the people who called the '65 neck thick. It might be microscopically thicker than a '69 neck, but it's not thick, I'd call it medium thin. I felt like my Kurt Cobain neck was starting to be in that medium range, whereas the Jaguar HH Special actually had a thickish ...

I have been playing the Mustang mostly at the moment. I haven't played the J-S too much yet since I've only had these for a few days. I will play the J-S tonight and ...

SO I actually had ordered this guitar before I bought the Jag-Stang. The Jag-Stang appeared a day later at such a good price I had to get it but this was the original guitar I was going to buy.

The neck is not as thick as I thought it would be after reading people's comparisons of the 65 Mustang ...

Playing with the phase switches is interesting too. Lots of possibilities

Thanks for posting it without the link. I am a noob to these old school forums!

Thanks to everyone here for all the help with the many questions I was asking I was able to purchase a 2003 CIJ Sonic Blue Jag-Stang. This things neck really is a dream! Its so small I can play it so fast! I have to get used to how small the width is so I don't keep hitting extra notes but its ...

Some other Humbuckers that intrigue me are the Pearly Gates and 59 Trembuckers from SD. They are all lower output Humbuckers. Anyone have experience with these?

Do Jag pups fit in the neck slot of JS? I know they are similar to other single coils but have a "metal claw" or something that can make them slightly different in dimension. I don't think I want a mustang pickup in the neck since I will probably get a mustang some day anyways.

I wanted to ...

Thats what I hear but who knows! I believe mine is a 2003 MIJ according to the seller.

Oh yeah, you scored. Keep us posted...

Yeah I will post a pic of it when it arrives. I didn't want to cave and get one of the 90s models because people are trying to sell those for 1000+ which seems like a crock of shit to me. I do like the way some of the original ones age paintwise but the ...

singlepup wrote:Nice, congrats! Did you find a deal or bite the bullet? Did you get sonic blue?

Mine is still very, very minty.

Yeah I found a blue one and I paid 600 for it Mint so I consider that a pretty decent victory! Can't wait for it to arrive.

I just purchased a Mint Jag-Stang RI that should arrive on Friday so I will have an opportunity to see what it sounds like stock myself to compare. I often hear the bassy/muddy complaint about it so I would like to possibly brighten up the guitar a bit. A lower output Humbucker seems to be the best ...

I have read on Seymour Duncan forums that the Jazz 'bucker is seriously underrated, like a secret pickup no one uses. Not sure about this as I've never tried a guitar with SD Jazz pups. However, I can tell you that low output pickups can be great for fuzz. Many alt rock and shoegaze bands from the ...

I've heard a good deal about JAZZ humbucker pickups that seem to be quite versatile for different sounds.

Anyone know anything about these and the type of sounds you can achieve? I know its a lower output humbucker but that seems to be fine with me as I don't plan on playing metal but I do want to ...
