Perfection.

Posted by Rhys Catlin on 9th Jul 2010

Best guitar ever (well in my mind at least). Sounds great clean, sounds great noisy, it seriously does everything. The trem is amazing, especially for those times when you wanna pretend you're Kevin Shields. It's a ridiculously bright guitar though so if that's not your thing it probably isn't for you. But with the right amount of distortion it sounds absolutely amazing.

The pickups in the Jap reissues aren't potted so if you wanna use a stack of gain, you're going to get ridiculous amounts of microphonic feedback, but it ain't hard to pot pickups. The internet will tell you how. Also, if you're an aggressive player, or you want to use lighter gauge strings, you may want to switch to a Mustang Bridge to stop string slips (pretty much everyone I know with a jag/jazz has done it, but I somehow don't have any problems)
