Members HanSolo Posted June 2, 2011 Members Share Posted June 2, 2011 I sold off a bunch of my cheap guitars and vowed I would never roll around in the gutter with cheap guitars ... as often! One I sold was a cherry sunburst Aslin Dane (aka Jay Turser) Tele flametop that was just awesome. I bought it from a forumite and rewired it. It was such a nice player that I missed it the minute the guy walked out the door with it! I jumped on a deal on a similar JTLT Dlx on Amazon (hats off to the great deals thread!) but in a natural flametop finish. Double bound, multi-piece back ( the one I sold had a sunburst veneer back!) but plays as stellar as the one I sold. http: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kayd_mon Posted June 2, 2011 Members Share Posted June 2, 2011 A bandmate has a few Tursers. They're really great, considering their cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members OldGuitarPlayer Posted June 2, 2011 Members Share Posted June 2, 2011 That looks like a really nice guitar! Congrats! I have two Tursers. An ES-335 style semi-hollow and an LP Studio style solid body guitar. I paid hardly anything for them and they play and sound pretty good. I haver never modified them or swapped pickups yet people often comment on how good they sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members A_Gitarman Posted June 2, 2011 Members Share Posted June 2, 2011 Kitty approves Note to OP (and anyone with this model): In my experience, the bridge on these is positioned in such a way that it makes it nearly impossible to upgrade. I've tried 3 or 4 different makes & none of them line up properly. I ended up modifying the Turser base plate to accept 3-barrel saddles off of a Wilkinson b/c I had a problem with the stock high E saddle 'snapping' on every up-stroke.

I replaced it with a Fender vintage bridge plate because the pickup mounting holes on the Turser plate were spaced narrower than standard Fender. The Fender plate was a perfect fit though...

It must be b/c mine is an older model or something... The problem is that the string-through holes are WAAAAY farther back (relative to the pickup location) on the Turser Vs. any other bridge that I tried. Also, a friend of mine had a Turser Tele at the time & his had the same problem... Maybe they've fixed it since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Malcolm Ramone Posted June 2, 2011 Members Share Posted June 2, 2011 I was GASsing over an identical one on ebay the other night. Had to talk myself down! I do own a Turser 335/Casino, a Surfmaster, and a tele style bass, all great guitars for the $! -Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
