That helped some. The big difference was when I swapped the stock speaker with a Weber and replaced the velveteen grill with a piece of Fender maroon grill cloth. Until then I intend to use an external cab with the Champion. That Weber speaker really improved the sound and allowed me to use the small light weight cab. I will admit I do run a Fender reverb unit with the Champion 600 reissue. I have to have that, even with a small practice unit. Talk to you later, |

I think it sounds good, but I plan on changing the tubes and maybe the speaker eventually, I'm just lazy. They do sound great into a bigger extension cab, I tried it with 2 10s and it ripped. For everything else I use my Deluxe Reverb. Reverb isn't the same as a tank but for now it's good enough. |

I had planned to build a 2x10 cab for mine. Then I came across a deal on a 6 inch Weber speaker, so I tried that. I was really surprised at the difference a new speaker made in that cab. I have scrapped my plans for an extension cab for it. Handier this way and has a great tone. I have read about various mods that can be made. But I am happy with how mine sounds, so I will leave it as is. Talk to you later, |

Jag is indefinitely paused. I've got a list of purchases as long as the equator, and no job until December... Unfortunately, it just doesn't make sense for me right now. I'm still without a good amp, reverb, or DAW... Ya know. With 6 or so great guitars, I just can't justify putting any more money into that until other purchases are out of the way. The new guitar is amazing. I had to do it... I really did. IMO. |

I would literally die if I had a Jag project just sitting around. It is almost finished! Get Logic Pro X for Christmas(presuming you have a Mac). You won't need an amp and the reverb on there is very good. Or make an argument for your parents to get it now. For $200, I could have a device that allows me to play amplified guitar, record my music, edits my music, has thousands of midi instruments that I can easily use to create orchestration of my songs. Most people aren't good at getting things. They just ask for them, if you have a good justification you can get anything you want. That is my specialty at work, that is my x-factor that makes me a valuable employee. Useful tool! Start early! |

How do you think I got this guitar? Kidding. I don't have a mac, unfortunately... But I've got my eye on protools or cubase and superior drummer. Hopefully when I start getting paid, that sort of thing will come quickly. —IMO. |

Uh huh! 8 is great! I've been messing with using it as a bass. The weird thing is that it actually sounds good in that situation. Cool all around guitar! The seventh string feels super natural, surprisingly. —IMO. |

I think I am going to get a Jag body finished like this... I am debating between this or Sherwood.

Actually both pretty nice and unique. I'd prefer sherwood, as you almost never see it on a guitar. |

Jake, GTHO - cool creation! DonKiyote - There are no "leagues" just tools that we're awfully fond of to create music with. Yours look perfect for the job. —http://www.facebook.com/CrazyAcesMusic |
Hahahaha. I knew about it, but, 
I'm sure it's good for something. Congratulations, I think. 
And I may just have to throw together some surf stuff with it to prove that it really does do anything I want it to.
