Have a Jazzmaster and use it occasionally. Also tried out a DePinto, but for me it's the Strat. It holds it tone and mixes well with Jaguar rhythms and some how I've gotten used to the tremolo sensitivity for surf. —Surfcat 2023 SG101 Compilation - Tribute to Noel From Atlantis with Love - Released - July 2023 Surf, the most dangerous of all musical genres... |

I am almost completely over to acoustic guitars now, but my 2009 (Mexican) Jag is literally a "one electric" guitar. The semi-hot pups sit between a tele and a strat and that works for me...and my son Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most... |

The strings on it are round wound 50E - 36A - 26D- 16G - 11B - 09E (or 10E) I prefer 50 for low E. The higher tension makes the sound cleaner. This group of string sizes is not available in sets so I have to buy at least the 50 size by itself (I buy bulk packs of 50s). Mysteriously this guitar often needs no retuning through 2 hour gigs of riffs and melodies. Even my acoustic guitars (i.e., no vibrato) don't maintain tuning that well. —Insanitizers! http://www.insanitizers.com Last edited: May 10, 2016 11:15:02 |

Those are rad! A buddy's shop had a light blue one in and a smattering of basses through the years. Onenof my favorites! |

Matching Hagstroms, nice! Almost as many switches as a Jag... —Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most... |

I'm appreciating how different guitars compliment different subgenres. |

I think my favourite surf guitar is Lorenzo's Red Japanese Fender Jaguar. The mojo just drips off that guitar. Lots of musicians have played it. Rev

Recently been playing the Sterling by Music Man Cutlass in Seafoam Green, and the thing just oozes tone. No mods on it, straight from the shop and it played like a beast. The setup was excellent as is the feel of the neck itself. Definitely recommended for anyone who wants a reasonably priced guitar with that cool 60's vibe |
