Any Fender fans here?
I was just looking at the pic's I took last year of my mid 70's pawnshop $200 special.
She's a documented 1965 Fender Jaguar with a couple of 66 electronics. Quite relic'd but Completely original and unbroken/damaged. The case is apparently year correct as well All according too Elderly Instruments. She remains in the "bomb shelter"/ Closet but plays/feels fantastic every time I touch her. She not as desireable too some as dot neck versions but I find the neck binding and Block inlays an absolute joy too look at. http://img459.imageshack.us/img459/1...1036wk0.th.jpg |

Yea, I love my Fenders. They don't do the metal thing for me, but I certainly use them a lot at home. |

Oddly enough all the Relicing was done prior to me owning her in the mid 70's. I put one scratch and some mild buckle rash over the existing "work". The cracking of the neck finish and tint is pleasing to the Eye. :love: :love: :love: http://img250.imageshack.us/img250/8...1027fa7.th.jpg |

Re: Any Fender fans here?
i like fenders, that guitar has to be one of my favorites, and i prefer the block inlays on the 70s jag and jazz' the only thing i never cared for on the jaguars were the bridges..... i like the gibson stlye rythem / lead circuits, this has always been my dilema when playing guitar, i like the fender sound (early rock and roll, surf, 80's alternative rock) but i couldn't fing my self commiting to it, and the noise that a single coil produces throws me away from them, but i really wish there was a guitar could do both, i think a mahogany jaguar, with a bucker in the bridge would be my ultimate guitar, but that isn't likely going to happen lol. the shorter scale of a jag is also a plus, and if the mute ever actually worked right heh

Re: Any Fender fans here?
yeah those nighthawks are crazy rare, they were common for quite a while in the 90s lol but all of a sudden poof they are all gone, so i imagine they have a crazy price tag too

No decal due to prior refinishes. Current refinish is bare wood with lemon oil, done by my dad about 30 years ago. I bought it in 1977 for $65+tax. |

Re: Any Fender fans here?

Re: Any Fender fans here?
its nice to have at least one start guitar as they are good all around guitars.. but great for blues.....

Re: Any Fender fans here?
i like les pauls first and foremost, then followed by SGs, then telecasters, i prefer buckers, but i do like the variety a telecaster lends, and i like the sound of gibson single coils.... not sure what makes them different than fenders, but they seem warmer to me, not too many strat sounds i care for, i guess buddy holly had a decent strat tone, but hendrix's tone never got me off, i love his music, but his tone could have been alot better had he stuck with the gibby flying V :-D

I have 2 such guitars, an Agile Valkyrie and a Schecter Tempest Special: http://static.flickr.com/33/64969414_025241fa57.jpg http://static.flickr.com/97/207025704_4ce5ab591f.jpg As you can see the Agile is in SG territory, and the Schecter is a modification of an LP Special Doublecut, but applied to the Tempest body shape. The Agile was $99 on closeout (they're still only around $250 new though), the Schecter was $250 used w/ohsc. There are lots of other options as well, Epi has made both bolt-on and setneck Juniors over the past few years, and the bolt-neck one was generally available new for a Benjamin. For a bit over 2 bills you can get a Squier Telecaster Custom II, which would kill both Tele GAS and P-90 GAS! I haven't played one myself but a buddy of mine liked them so much he got one in each color (black and butterscotch). |
Re: Any Fender fans here?
well i think that epiphones are a decent deal for the most part, the SX/agile guitars i don't fully trust, people tell me they sound as good or better than epiphones, my problem is epiphones sound EXACTLY how i want them...... i'm not sure a guitar that sounds "better" actually would sound better if that makes sense heh, for the cost of a schecter you might as well save another 50 bucks and get an epiphone, i have played schecters and they are most deffinatly not my thing, the tele's i may actually have interest in, i have had squires, and theya re decent guitars, may not be a peice of art but they play well and sound good.

Re: Any Fender fans here?
yeah the schecter modern guitars i don't care for the shapes, it's a personal thing, haven't seen the "retro" ones, but i don't much keep my eye on them, i played with charlie's tempest, i was not impressed with it, it didn't play exceptionally well, it didn't look all that snazzy, and it didn't sound like i would have liked tone wise, quality wise i suppose it was ok, but that's just my opinion :-D, to me it sounded like a fender with buckers lol....... mid light and very bright, i prefer the epi's tones, "muddy" lol mid heavy and a little bit dull. the "woman" tone is my favorite it is what i measure all else too lol ya know, the half-cocked wha / bridge pick-up with the tone on "0" sound..... that's my test tone, if a guitar can't do that i typically don't care for it (think dire straights - money for nothing, or virtually any ZZ-Top tune)
