Thank you all for your replies. I must not have looked at the
headstock carefully. I've decided to pass on the JagMaster. If it
don't sound like a Jazzmaster I'm not interested. I'll keep my eyes
open for a MIJ. The only problem I have with the Oriental models is
the are made out of Alder and I prefer Ash. Are any of the Oriental
re-issues made out of Ash?
Chris, the 'Itialian jobs' were not Ekos.
Thanks again,
Russty
