That's the first electric guitar to give me gas for quite a while. Hope I get to meet it :-)

There's no forearm contour, that's just an optical illusion on the photo. I might post some better photos in a NGD thread... Or I might wait till the matching Serus arrives next week. :wink:

Stunning, imo. Hard to find tho. There's a forumite here that had one made by another forumite (I think).

I had this one. Nice guitar but I found the short scale a bit hard to get used to.

Man, never knew a critter like this existed. Very cool 8)
Was it a genuine semi-acoustic or chambered? What wood is the body made from? Did it sound like a solid body Jag?

Big fan of the jag look, but doesn’t work for me with a hollow body and binding.

Needs a forearm contour.

Most things fender with single coils and hollowed out are thin sounding. IME. Looks awesome though

My budget 335 is off getting the full setup treatment at the moment, excited to get it back and wind that neck toan control off and blend it with the bridge volume turned down, happy place!!
