> Has any one acutaly played a guitar with this feature? I you have
> did you like it?
A few years ago I bought a blue sparkle Squire Super-Sonic to be my surf
guitar when I was first getting interested in surf. It has a reverse Jaguar
style body AND reverse over sized-headstock, 24" scale, strat style trem, 2
Atomic humbuckers, and 2 volume pots. Its a sister to the more popular
Jagmaster, and was probably made to cash in on the grunge stuff going on at
the time. My other motiviation was to learn how to do some guitar mods. I
took out the pickups and installed a Seymour Duncan Jazz humbucker pickup in
the neck position, and some other kind of Seymour Duncan Humbucker in the
bridge (HB-3?). I wanted it clean for surf. However, these pickups are
humbuckers, and I really wanted single coils. So I replaced the volume pots
with the push/pull kind and coil tapped the pickups. After installing .011
flatwounds I was good to go!! Coil tapping gives you a lot of options for
sounds.
Its a great little guitar, it looks very cool in an odd way, very light and
well made. However the neck is too narrow for me, its probably equivalent to
an A width. Since I got a Jaguar now I don't play this anymore and <gasp>
I'm actually thinking about selling it.
