I’ve owned many guitars over the years and bought and sold for a while. Flipping cheap guitars was how I learned to fix and set them up. Some guitars I owned for less than an hour. Picking them up and bundling several together with a trader for a deal against something else. Sometimes I picked them up only to trade them for something else the following weekend.
I prefer to keep things stock unless defects or problems exist and they need something put right. In the case of the Fender Jaguar, I received it modded in a trade with the original parts and restored it back to stock.
These pages contain some of my backstory for each one, pictures and specs. Some of these details are hard to find & I’ve had to measure or piece the information together myself. I’ve tried to standardise the format for all to make comparisons easier.
All my guitars are fitted with Dunlop StrapLoks.
