Lost the whammy bar a while back - but I never used it anyway.

Hmmm, one of those might make a good donor guitar for the project I have in mind.Shimmer wrote:Ibanez Talman TV750 (90s version)

Have no fear, I should be able to find another one. Are they made in Japan?Shimmer wrote:Hands off - no cutting up my guitar!!olegmcnoleg wrote:Hmmm, one of those might make a good donor guitar for the project I have in mind.Shimmer wrote:Ibanez Talman TV750 (90s version)

Strat bodies are not offset. To be offset the inward cut or curve on the bottom half of the body has to be further back than the cut on the top half. Strats and Teles have symmetrical cuts.GrantB wrote:Is a Strat technically an "offset"? Or does the body have to lean off 90 degrees?
First world serious question.
I shall amend my post to show only true offset guitars. But I would argue that sloping forward only is half the story - what about guitars that have the higher part of the body sloping further back?sunburster wrote:Strat bodies are not offset.

Among classic Fenders the following have offset bodies: Jaguar, Jazzmaster, Mustang, Starcaster, Bass VI, Jazz Bass.
Those are not offsets, they are what we commonly refer to as firewood.GrantB wrote:But I would argue that sloping forward only is half the story - what about guitars that have the higher part of the body sloping further back?
As per Gibson offsets?
By “we” do you mean “Conway”?Conway wrote:Those are not offsets, they are what we commonly refer to as firewood.GrantB wrote:But I would argue that sloping forward only is half the story - what about guitars that have the higher part of the body sloping further back?

You're right, any asymmetry of the top and bottom inward cuts on a body would classify a guitar as an offset.GrantB wrote: I shall amend my post to show only true offset guitars.
