Jansen invader
Anyone own one of these? Looking at buying one for my dad as a surprise, he will love the nostalgia, but only worry is the neck looks kinda fat

Re: Jansen invader
They’re not good guitars, even from a nostalgic perspective.
Not to ruin your kind intentions for your dad, but you may find the memory was better than the reality.

Can't tell if genuinely thankful or just had dreams crushed.

Re: Jansen invader
I was speaking to a guy today that has got a Jansen Jazzman. He said it's sunburst but some dickhead painted a union jack on the front. So it'd need a bit of work to get it back to looking nice. Not sure what they are like, but I could talk to him about that one for you?

I recall Bender being positive about them. Sadly he no longer posts (often)
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.
