"But is´nt it basically the same as a stock Mustang bridge but with adjustable saddles?"
Yeah, and upon review, it looks as though the middle two saddles are stock ‘stang.
Warmouth makes a modified Mustang/Jaguar bridge that works for JM upgrades, too. Though maybe your pickguard would require some modification as well.
"the whole buying the case separately thing, TOTAL BULLSHIT."
Too true. It was kind of puzzling. Anyone have any idea why this decision was made? If it was economics, then it seems doubly odd considering most retailers who ship instruments won’t do so without a case. Clear as mud.
"I love the guitar. It is so much better then the made in Japan Jazzmaster I bought about 10 years ago. The bridge is a big improvement, and the pick ups are way better then the mij ones. The tremelo is sort of tight, compared to my other one. It looks a lot better in person too. More of a deep purple in color."
New to the Freak Scene, but wanted to weigh-in with Tom that this guitar is really a steal in respect to its construction, electronics, and appearance. Though this model has been pretty soundly slagged on other "offset" guitar forums for everything from its materials to its guts to the guys likely to buy such a beast, I suspect even JM purists would be impressed with the ballsy pickups on this bar-b-que stick. The fat frets, also, are really fast. The lead/rhythm output switch provides some intriguing sonic variation as well. Straight to the amp (an old, cat piss-stained Champ combo), this guitar sounds like a monster, and through the dirty channel, it just seems to come alive. The sound texture and volume from these pickups easily blows away my old FrankenStrat loaded with Hot Rails and all that shiz. And for the record, I went with the brown tolex case, because I do possess a stripe of Fender puritan, and this guitar looks sweet lounging in that golden plush!
Anyway, hopefully these unsolicited remarks do not offend. Peace, all.
