Members woodsmandan Posted February 6, 2008 Members Share Posted February 6, 2008 This morning I bought a used Jay Turser Strat copy in a local pawn shop. Great price, nice guitar, couldn't pass it up. I've wanted a Strat style axe again for a while, so there it is. Got home, plugged it in, sound good, very good for the price. But I hate that headstock ! I then remember an old Stagg neck from the early seventies that I have somewhere. This neck was retro-fitted on a beat-up refinished '64 Fender Jazzmaster I bought a couple of years ago. The Jazzmaster's parts are long gone, but I still have the neck. Got a screwdriver...find out it's a direct fit !!! No holes needed to be drilled, it fits right in the pocket, holes aligned !!! And the neck is sweet, no dead spots, very stable, bone nuts is very good, stays in tune... The only down side is, the tiny frets are well worn, so bending is difficult when one is used to medium jumbo, but with a little practice, all is good... So, that was my little Strat project for the afternoon ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Funkwire Posted February 6, 2008 Members Share Posted February 6, 2008 Stagg is still around...the Music Go Round in St. Paul has a bunch of them. I was told they're made by Samick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAT big !!! website I found: http://xoomer.alice.it/vintagestagg/ quote from there: Today STAGG is again a well-known brand, but it is only a Chinese production of "entry-level" instruments, which seems to have little in common with the quality of the Japanese production of the 70s and the 80s.
