Squier Vintage Modified Jazzmaster in sonic blue. Always wanted a Jazzmaster and the price was good. Made in Indonesia but I must say the fit and finish is flawless.

Needs one of these:

The colour looks perfect. I can see me doing my Baja Tele in the same shade.

Congrats.

Nah these Duncan Design pickups are surprisingly good, going to have a play all night get used to the scale length, all my other electrics are 24.75.

I like the look of a tort guard on sunbursts and solid colours, but really like the look of this as it is. I had it couriered from Hastings to the Hutt Rockshop to try, I had seen this online and liked it. The only thing I might do is swap out the bridge but those Masterys are nearly US$200.

Killer looking guitar. Personal gift to self upon hospital release? Good on you! Life's too short for less guitars!

Sort of, the 5E3 Tweed Deluxe Mike and BG are building for me was the get out of hospital thing, but this can be added too. I only had hollow body electrics and wanted a solid body. Considered Gretsch Duo Jets and Les Pauls but they didn't rock my boat, saw this and Oooh yeah, that's it.

Yup, that is absolutely it. Congrats......






........on the awesome taste!

So far these pickups are fine, even makes me use the tone knob as they can be a bit bright on the bridge pickup, roll the tone off and bingo. Sure is a wide variety of tones out of this thing, still honeymoon period but I reckon this is a keeper.

Dude.... reasons to trust your tone judgement =
I'm as deaf as a post!! Yay result for anyone, including the neighbours dog! woof!

reaons to distrust your tone judgement =
Your trademe purchases. They are invariably shit.
Figuring putting a G12H with an unknown jensen speaker from an old projector, would sound anything other than SHITE.
Your trademe purchases that you try to sell here.

I'm being nice here. I could go on.

What was that pedal again he bought from grantb?

I think I'm only going to play my instruments from now on and give up trying to trade. Its too much stress and being not the right kind of reliable is financially solvent lol. Also the internet is creepy. Who knows who's reading. I might as well be a Russian bot for all it matters.

Did the P90 I sold you ever turn up? These days everything goes recorded delivery to save me the cost of refunds.

You didn't think to message me at the time?

Very nice !
Hit me up if you need some pickups. I've good a few tasty options that I'm not using

Will do if I decide to change but these really are doing the job for me. Only upgrade so far is I have bought a modified Mustang bridge, the odd string has been jumping out of the slot.
