Re: Jaguars and Jazzmasters

ohsyrus - 03 Jun 2002 20:48:58

I went with Music123.com I've dealt with them before, for small
things, and they seem pretty committed to customer service. They had
a JM, (Dakota Red) that had been returned on their 30 day plan and
was greatly discounted--as long as the neck and the fret work is
good, I'll probably keep it. This is the first time I have ever
bought a guitar without playing it first. But I went back and studied
The Huntington Cads and Fathoms cd's and decided that if I had to
pick ONE single tone--the JM HAD to be it. When I compare it to
groups which feature a Jag, like, Satan's Pilgrims, fr'instance, the
JM sounds more, hollow and woody. The Jag sounds spicier, more sizzle
and snap. I like the cool, smooth feeling of the JM sound. I kept
thinking the difference in tone between the JM and Jag is sort of
like the difference between a long board and a short board. Think
I'll start saving my pennies for a Jag. Anyway, the JM I ordered is
sposed to be an AV. I'll let you know what I think. I'm pretty
stoked...
