Yeah, I've seen these around. Maybe they are cool. I don't really dig the style. I liked the Robert Smith post on that site you linked to, it lead me to a link that was disgustingly detailed that I quite enjoyed. |

Cool idea. I hope the F hole jaguar still has the quack that we expect from the original. Looking forward to seeing one at my local guitar shop. —Craig Skelly Little Kahuna |

I like it but would never purchase one personally. I am not a semi hollow body kinda guy. If any of you guys post on offsetguitar or shortscale you will notice a lot of F hole Jazz and Jags. |

The double binding/no tummy/forearm cuts looks great on Teles, but a bit odd on offsets. — |

I wonder if Fender will have any special 50th anniversary Jaguar models this year, like they did with the Jazzmaster in '09. Anybody know? —The Exotics 1994-Current |

I picked up one of the thinline jags from Pro Guitar Shop in Portland, Oregon. It's currently at Mile Lull's, in Bellevue Warshintone, getting some personalization (a Mastery bridge, inter alia), but me likey. I am trying it with flatwounds, per suggestions from the fora, here. I use 7-string heavies on my other Jaguar (1988 MIM), but I couldn't find a Fender USA tremolo spring to handle the heavier tension. —Cheers, "Anythin' worth doin's worth overdoin'." |

Fair enough, but I am not keen on "-burst" ("My guitar caught fire, and I managed to save... this.") finishes anyway, so I got mine in black with the off-white trim. Since we're on the topic of , though, I wonder how many people over the years have thought a reverse-body Jaguar would be interesting/fun/criminal? I've always had the idea in the back of my mind, and what to my wondering eyes should behold, today at Monolithic Soulless Obnoxious Stringed Instrument Nexus:
And I don't know how I feel about that. —Cheers, "Anythin' worth doin's worth overdoin'." |
