$840.00 is not bad for a jazzmater, i might have to get one in the future. i payed like 700 each for my mustang reissues.. thats not really much more.

got a question for you guys. I just got the guitar and I think the tremolo is screwed up. shouldn’t it snap or screw into the guitar? it falls right out nothing holding it in place. Any help would be appreciated.

With my Jazzmaster, and all of them I assumably, they do not screw in.
Put it in place, then push it in harder and it should go in.

ffs, don’t. my jaguar arm falls out all the time, and it used to screw in. a mate tells me im probably just doing it wrong. when i first took it out the shop the guy unscrewed it, so i don’t think it’s broken. i don’t use tremolo arms anyway, so i’m ok.

take it to a shop and ask a guy how to do i before you decide whether or not its fucked, but jesus christ, don’t send it back!

on my jaguar i just wrapped the end of the arm in electrical tape, enough so it fit very snugly. never a problem with it falling out.

I’ve just gotten used to having the arm hanging down, it swings like crazy if I don’t have a lead plugged in though =/

yes, and J probably does. he retunes a couple times in the DVD, if i remember right.

well, you’ll go a bit sharp or flat if you really wank it, but unless you break something you won’t go miles off. from my experience anyway.

I don’t believe so, the stores that have them are selling cases seperately. Its a bummer, it would be cool to have a purple case with green fur inside. Oh well.
