They're making Fender beer?

I have the 3TS Malibu SCE. Had to file down the bridge a tad to lower the action, and i stuck on slightly lighter strings. Plays pretty nice for what i need.

Looks like this:

Makes a change from all those horrible thin Squier necks though, imo.

These are also from NAMM

I've gone for the ShimVerb from GAK for £59 + free shipping, purely for the shimmer effect.

Thanks daftsupernova. Funnily enough i just read an online review, from a UK Guitar mag, that was published only yesterday. They mention it has big transformers (which surprised me). Anyway, i bit the bullet and ordered one. It's pretty cheap and if i keep my expectations low. Maybe, it could make ...

So what's the Kustom Defender like? Any good?

In my opinion, hell yes it's good. I like to keep it all the way on British for clean and all the way American with the volume cranked.

What's the amp gain like? Is it thin, fizzy and cheap sounding like a Crate V5 or something? Particularly ...

All these new 2012 AVs appear to be more expensive then the previous ones. The 65' Jag (3TS) is on guitarguitar for £1,939. The gold Jazzmaster is £1,799. 64' Telecaster £1,699. Some of these are what low end Custom Shop prices were, not too long ago.

Probably means he'd play in see through plastic clothes too (like Iggy Pop), so maybe not

Very 'Prince'.

He does also currently play a blue Gretsch.

Yup, he pretty much plays this Tele exclusively on his new/solo stuff. He's got matching blue pedals as well

what the fuck is champfur mike and why are you complaining about it? #offset

A chamfer is the angled bit/surface you get, when you cut or plane a 90 degree corner. So he's talking about the outer edge of the scratch plate, where it angles down from the top ply to the bottom. I'm guessing it's a ...

Because it was hand-made by Courtney Love.

There's no reason why you couldn't play heavy music with a Mustang and the right amp or a boost pedal in line with a decent distortion pedal.
