Question for you Jaguar owners

Jerry (whipeoutboy63) - 03 Sep 2003 00:39:41

Hi,
I have fallen to "sirene call" and got me a 2nd hand Jag (a mid 90ties
Japanes example) it's a very nice guitar, despite the fact that it has
been said that these are not as good quality wise, I checked the guitar
all over, wiring, hardware, body, arm, tuners etc...and they all
resemble what they should do. I found no flaws so far and it looks lika
a very well build instrument.
The previous owner had it stringed up with 0.9 roundwounds....so it
sounded rather sissy....
I want to put on 0.11 d'Addario Chrome Flatwounds on it. But would I
need to "shim" the neck (add a bit to the tuss rod before putting on the
flatwound strings) I done this with my Jazzmaster as I notided that the
higher tension of the Flatwounds made the neck bow a bit more and the
action was getting a tat to high....
TIA,
Jerry.
P.S. I got the Jag for a nice price including Hard shell case, very hard
to ressist.....

See this post in context.
