I think this guitar may give me more offset cred than I deserve :shock: It is the only offset I own, and I think the only one I want. The sound has been a revelation (Lollars), as has the trem--just wow. Tonally, it is miles away from anything else I own, which is perfect.

The neck is USAGC and it is HUGE. Would happily trade it for something less manly, especially if it was bound. (This one is not)

I think that's why I love my JM so much also - it is just so not like anything else I have.Interestingly, I don't use the trem on my JM. Not sure why, but part of it will be I don't want to mess with anything that might change how great it is, as it is now. It has been played a little.....

What? the guitar or the bed cover?
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Photo is a bit crap but...

Jazzmaster is ex-bender, MIM 60's lacquer. Love it to bits, it's hard to imagine replacing it. The Warhawk is a recent acquisition courtesy of Oleg's emporium. Love the P90's, so much grunt but with the bass contour actually really versatile.

The pickups in that are just wonderful.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

I've noticed these before.
Looks like it'd be hard to add a trem to it so it's a hard no for me, but I do dig the shape and colour.

Thinking about trying a new set of jag pickups in my 64. Have had the same fender classic 65s in there for five years or so now and thinking something with a bit more bit and growl , particularly in the bridge. Have lnt actually done much in the way of research as of yet. Any one with experience in after market jag pups ?

Glad you like the Rev, I have to say it looks very happy in its new abode. You must be looking after it well. :D
