Members Inertiatic_SKS Posted March 26, 2012 Members Share Posted March 26, 2012 I was pretty set on getting another Tele until I found this guy at my local GC Probably the most comfortable guitar I've played on yet and I was really surprised how well it can hold lower tunings (I primarily play in Drop C). Can't wait to throw a set of Bare Knuckle Pig 90's in there with my next paycheck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members PunkRocker33133 Posted March 26, 2012 Members Share Posted March 26, 2012 Is that a modern player? I played a trans black one the other day and it was sweet. I'll probably pick one up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably pick one up soon. Nah, it's a Blacktop Jag B90. The P90s in mine actually sound pretty raunchy and nasty compared to other P90 guitars I've played on. Super punchy tone and even more so when I pair it up with my Green Rhino and Marshall. Fender really hit it out of the park with these Jag B90's.

Members Inertiatic_SKS Posted March 28, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 28, 2012 Very nice - HNGD!BTW, how's the neck on it? INCREDIBLY comfortable. I'm not a huge fan of poly finished necks, but it really works on the Jag. Fretwork is probably the best I've ever seen on a MIM Fender as well.

Fretwork is probably the best I've ever seen on a MIM Fender as well. Cool! The one I tried at NAMM was pretty darned nice, and the neck was reasonably slim and quite comfortable - I was just wondering how consistent they are, and based on your report, it sounds like yours is basically the same in that regard.

Members percyexpat Posted March 28, 2012 Members Share Posted March 28, 2012 Nice! What gauge strings will you use on that? Just thinking that with drop c on that scale length they've got to be quite heavy or they'll be flapping around your ankles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Inertiatic_SKS Posted March 28, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 28, 2012 I've got Ernie Ball Beefy Slinky's (.11-.54) on it for now, but I'm gonna keep experimenting with different gauges and brands to see what works best with the short scale.

Those are the strings i use on all my guitars, from my gibsons in drop B to my jazzmasters in E standard. With those you should be able to do anything from C standard to E standard with no issues, even with the 24" scale length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a whole lot of issues with intonation on mine Maybe it has something to do with the TOM/Stop tail bridge being more stable than the traditional vibrato bridge?
