Members Brown, Charlie Posted February 4, 2012 Members Share Posted February 4, 2012 ^^he's right. Here's my '69: That guitar started out about the same color, the paint/clear coat has aged, or 'yellowed'. That's why old white guitars are yellow now. Blue+yellow = green.

Members Brown, Charlie Posted February 4, 2012 Members Share Posted February 4, 2012 isn't the real custom shop model more authentic? Yeah, everybody knows he stabbed himself with a guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members honeyiscool Posted February 6, 2012 Author Members Share Posted February 6, 2012 I don't know. Kurt's name not being on these things kind of makes the point that they're good every day guitars, regardless of which man is associated with these things.

Members bsman Posted February 6, 2012 Members Share Posted February 6, 2012 Honeyiscool -- from that pic, looks to me like you're a pretty small guy; guess that explains why you especially like Mustangs and the vintage-style necks. Unfortunately, I tend toward the other end of the size spectrum (at least in girth, if not necessarily in height), and as much as I want to love mustangs and jags, they necks always feel like toys in my hands. Unfortunately, that means I'm pretty much limited to a JM if I want an offset (which I do). However, that's my problem -- not yours. May you have the joy of your new Mustang!

Members honeyiscool Posted February 6, 2012 Author Members Share Posted February 6, 2012 Thanks! Yeah, I'm a small person with skinny fingers. I like tiny necks. Jazzmasters are fun. I had a full scale Jagmaster. Didn't really feel like 9 pounds to me, they have excellent weight distribution. Certain Jaguars have bigger necks. The HH Special, for instance, has a pretty hefty neck on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah -- but it's also an HH, and I really want to get a good surfy tone from a guitar that looks like that!!! I'm not exactly sold on most Fender HBs I've played. The last one I played that I really dug was a tele custom I sold in 79 because I was young, stupid, and about to get married.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rell Posted February 6, 2012 Members Share Posted February 6, 2012 holy {censored} a signature edition guitar that doesn't have the artist's name plastered all over it? Brilliant. It's almost as if they want this guitar to be taken seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dwerlin Posted February 6, 2012 Members Share Posted February 6, 2012 The Fender design on the neck plate was drawn by Cobain. I think that's signature-plenty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very mellow, extremely low output. I think it'd sound great for surf. CP Jazzmaster, then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bsman Posted February 6, 2012 Members Share Posted February 6, 2012 Perhaps. Right now, I'm waiting for some new strat pickups from Ken -- I'm gonna upgrade an old strat clone I have -- and them I need to think about what to do with a boutique-y speaker (Fane AXA12) I just traded a DeArmond for... Perhaps after that, I will be able to consider new acquisitions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sdgails Posted February 6, 2012 Members Share Posted February 6, 2012 I think the biggest thing with shortscale necks are the width. If you play A wider shortscale neck, it doesn't feel small. Some people will play the skinny neck mustangs and you hear some call them a "toy".I don't get that.
