Squier Vintage Modified Jazzmaster, trem has been upgraded since this photo to one with a trem lock. Very happy with the Duncan Design pickups, but open to suggestions for upgrades. This thing plays like a dream.

And one under the radar, looks like an offset but is only slightly offset, a 1972 Harmony Bobkat.

Jazzmaster is ex-bender, MIM 60's lacquer. Love it to bits, it's hard to imagine replacing it. The Warhawk is a recent acquisition courtesy of Oleg's emporium. Love the P90's, so much grunt but with the bass contour actually really versatile.

Re: Offset chat
I love those little Harmony Bobkats. It's my mission to find a cheap, good one while i'm here in the states. Off to Asheville vintage guitar show this Saturday, you never know!

Re: Offset chat
Anyone else check the tone cap in their jag and find it to be alarmingly low capacitance ? It think the stock one in mine (almost certainly not stock stock, stock you know?) is 0.01uF

Re: Offset chat
discovered all this nonsense while i was adding a treble bleed mod. Then i had to decide duncan or kinman. Given I like to have a beer with Duncan (cos Duncans my mate) I went with dunc.

Thank goodness there are some Squiers and they’re not all old smelly things. Here’s mine:

I do still own the two Mustangs. They were my first 'good' guitars.

Re: Offset chat
I've still got the Musicmaster (currently with PaulWD) but I sold the Red Japanese Comp Mustang. That was a lovely little guitar with really comfortable neck.

Re: Offset chat
This is a great guitar, Teisco SS4-L. So much fun to play. I put a roller bridge on it and re-alligned all electronics / hardware to make it more playable. I'd love to get it refretted at some stage.
