Gas Attack!!! Convient timing, seeing as I'm looking for a 2 HB guitar atm.

    cool. almost looks like the cobain jaguar.

    fender japan makes/made a cobain jag replica for japan only.

    i'm getting bitter though that there's umpteen variations of the jag and nothing left-handed. i can find one from japan on ebay but it's the principle of the thing. there should be at least a couple lefty models available in the US/canada. fender really sucks when it comes to lefties.

    Damn. I'd have to rewire it though. I want two tone knobs.

    i had one. i sold it. because i'm an idiot. and also because i had to atone for G.A.S. sins in the eyes of my wife.

    i did buy and store away righty mustangs for my two kids though.

    i want another one someday.

    Ah that sucks. Every GAS'ers motto should be "never sell anything" with the addendum "unless your wife threatens you under pain of death." :D

    yeah, i think it was around the time that i'd bought my 52 tele too. i can't really remember. which tells you what a gear problem i had. i can't even remember what i bought that required other things to be be sold etc. i'd also gotten into kit amps around that time too etc. etc.

    i've been good lately. haven't bought anything in three months. of course, i haven't played in two months. probably related.

    The last thing I bought was a tuner about 7 weeks ago, before that was the volume pedal I got as a gift for valentine's day. I think I'm about due for a BYOC kit or something like that.

    the canadian BYOC distributor is having a 6 for 4 sale right now. it's all i can do to resist ordering but i know i won't play them, i'll just build.

    It WAS the 52 tele, I think! :D I guess I've been around here for a bit!


    I like the Jaguar for the single coil pickups, though, like All Those Yesterdays said.

    One of my current favorite guitar players sure knows how to work one!

    I have the Black Jag HH and love it. I was at GC yesterday and played that Special HH through a used UK-made AC30/6TB, I wanted to buy both on the spot.

    Do you regret buying the black HH at all. I bought mine in April, and just saw the reissues and felt a little cheap and feel like I should have gotten one of these.... I think the black and chrome has a better bridge and tailpiece... but there's something about the reissue that looks a heck of a lot more authentic... ya know?

    That's funny... I'm currently caretaking a Jaguar HH for a friend of mine (he's off travelling for an indeterminate period of time).

    He got one of the Japanese-market models, he's a sucker for sunburst guitars and the US-market HH model doesn't come in sunburst. His guitar has a stop tailpiece and a Fender version of a Tune-o-Matic bridge. He also swapped the Fender HB's for a Gibson Classic 57 in the neck and a Classic 57 Plus in the bridge. It's a killer guitar, great tones.
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    Yes. A lot of japanese market jags, jazzes and even some mustangs have the matching headstocks. Fender japan does it right.

    The colour is called old lake placid blue which is more grey than the usual lake placid.

    this one is a 2002 but it's mint. I will be putting proper jag pickups in it someday.

    And maybe someday I'll find a jazzmaster in old candy apple red.
