Anyone played/owned any of these? Looking for a second guitar, something quirky, and wondering what these are like.

Re: Jansen reissues
I seem to recall Bender tried one and thought they weren't half bad...
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Re: Jansen reiss
I tried one, it played well, but I couldn’t help thinking I was just playing a fake copy. Then again I used to own the old ones in the ‘60s so I am somewhat biased.

I guess they are fake copies, but then most reissues are really. Were the old ones any good?Rog wrote:I tried one, it played well, but I couldn’t help thinking I was just playing a fake copy. Then again I used to own the old ones in the ‘60s so I am somewhat biased.

Re: Jansen reissues
Interestingly. Mel from Weta and I were chatting about Jansens and the infamous mr dench. He was saying that when Denche was in completist mode collecting every Jansen model, denche commissioned him to make up some bodies to go with old necks and parts Denche had to make up examples.
