There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

He is a top bloke! Has just sent me a whole bunch of old jansen parts gratis ! Had initially been in talks with dench which resulted in thousands of emails with a mixture of capitalized and lower case fonts , warnings of rarity high prices and then no actual action. The. Neville sent me a picture of a drum full of jansen guitar hardware and sent me what I needed.

unbelievable difference to my Squire deluxe 5. super cool feel when playing hard, less push back from the string tension. there may be one or two left on trade me. I almost got the 4 string version for my brilliant Ray4 but the only one left was gold. needed a tough looking black or chrome one.

what appears to be the absolute worst idea actually Rocks!. I was sceptical, listened to the tone clips comparisons on YouTube.
GuitarParts were getting rid of them so I thought, why not.
seriously, if you have a dead sounding cheapy prepare to be amazed.

another strange thing about the Squier deluxe 5 was: after taking the stock bridge off the bass I noticed it was Bent. the string tension over the years started pulling the rear of the bridge toward the neck. Now fender.. that is totally lame. smarten up!
