Need to git to know it and find sum good strings

Wow. That’s a beautiful guitar you have. Congratulations HNSD

The UPS truck made it here today with my new toy. I found it in the clearance section at Guitarfetish. It was discounted for some dents under the finish plus everything is on sale so it was a good price. The dents aren’t so noticeable unless the light reflects a certain way so who cares. I really wanted this color so I grabbed it as soon as I saw it.People seem to. Like the pickups and it seems quite playable,although I know nothing about Jazzmaster types.. The strings are not impressive but that’s expected. Any recommendations for good strings? 10’s , 11’s or ? D’Addario nickel wound 10’s are my go to strings.

Delivery is scheduled for Saturday, I’.ll let you know if it gets here okay

If you don’t have the proper tool, the edge of a credit card placed over 3 frets will rock on a high fret .A quick way to check

Out of curiosity do you have any idea what the relief is? All you need to check is a capo and a feeler gauge.” This article is from Fender but it’s the same procedure https://www.fender.com/articles/how-to/how-to-measure-neck-relief-on-guitar-or-bass

They are loud and fatter . I like them but also glad to have a more traditional sounding Tele

Swiss cheese guitar

wouldn’t something like this work on the input?

Incoming Jazzmaster details when it arrives

I’ve split the signal with one a/b and used both inputs on my amp (fender) . When both are used there is no difference between them.

But it’s much easier to blame my gear than admit it’s me.

Be careful, you’re going to challenge some long standing myths

It pretty much is what it is at this point.

Thanks Mostly GFS except the neck

A couple years ago I put together this partscaster. It was nice but not quite there. I’ve since added a black sparkle pickgaurd and now a pair of GFS Alnico FatBody pickups with oversized pole pieces. I love them ,it’s like a telecaster on steroids. It gets chimey in the middle position with a solid state amp, which I like and fatter on the bridge. The neck is more Strat like and articulate.

I’m For myself I would wipe it with a mild solvent and use a rattle can. With good use of lighting you can get a decent finish,especially with a matte finish I’m sure there are tinted clears available as wel

It really looks good except for those idiotic screw holes. I’m sure you know a way to make even those less noticeable. As for the year 1996 would make me even happier because it makes the condition even better. A good find. Mrs. Penguin has a good eye and knows you well Conrgrats all around

So did you ever get this resolved?

I’ve noticed that after listening to a particular guitarist and then playing that the tone I just heard says in my head and my playing somehow moves in that direction. No , I don’t nail the sound but there is an influence without any changes to the gear.. So it that sense the biggest part of the sound is me. Also tho, this takes the fun out of that new set of pickups I was about to order. Maybe, just maybe it’s not the pickups that are lacking

The first 4 minutes of this are pretty good

I’ve picked up a few things from him . Really like the style

I already got mine. Haven’t installed them yet though.

I did fall victim to that trap with my ex We were at a music shop and there was an acoustic 12 string on sale. I always wanted one , this one looked like a good deal so I asked her what she thought. She said it had a nice sound and looked nice. Then the trap, I asked if we had enough money that I could buy it . She told me to go ahead and buy it if I wanted it so of course I did. Boy was she mad. She thought I would do the opposite of whatever she said so her yes really meant no. Fortunately her brother was with and pointed out that she did agree and really had no reason to be mad because I did after all ask her, He suggested that many an honest answer instead of playing a game would work out better for her. No wonder she’s an ex

Yeah , it could be a test or a setup
