Those who own J Mascis Jazzmasters - have you upgraded to Fender JMs? Any difference in sound and playability?

I'll be using it to play a few shows as well as recording hence the questions. Thanks in advance!

Japanese Fender Stratocaster - how are they compared to Mexican Strats?

I may have an opportunity to get one soon via Marketplace and won't have a chance to try it out. It's only a few years old and looks pretty much unused so either way I'm getting a good deal. Would love to hear some opinions in them.

Partcasters OK around here?

Got this off a trade - satin unbranded neck with locking tuners, alnico pickups with a Dave Gilmour mod to run neck and bridge together and a Wilkinson bridge. First relic guitar ever owned and I must say I'm really digging it so far.

Stratocaster for someone who can't vibe with a Strat

Maybe because I prefer P90s and Humbuckers to single coils but I love the sound of my Tele so yeah I have had probably 7 go's at having a Strat with various types - 7.25" profile necks, HSS configs, rosewood/maple necks, US/Mex/Jap models but still end up looking for something else. Any ideas or maybe just be happy with what I have and end this quest for a Strat?

CV Jaguar - now what?

First time having a short scale offset. I play in Eb so should I use heavier strings? I normally use 10-52s. Any other set-up tips?

NGD: Epiphone Inspired by Gibson 335 Traditional Pro

Traded my Casino Coupe for this - the owner changed the tone knobs and I kinda dug it.

My new gigging guitar

Went into a guitar store to try out a P90 Revstar but went home with this. From the first strum I knew I had to get it - the feel of the neck is amazing and the attack when you hit the strings really sold me - It will get its first run live this Friday's at our gig.

3 Crabs Fish Sauce = $12!?!

Is this brand really worth $12?? The Squid Brand is only about $4.50 and the Filipino brand is around $3.50.

Cost of Living crisis or something else??

Family pic 2026

The past three months I've traded a Fender Stat for a PRS Dave Navarro SE, bought a Gretsch CVT and swapped an Epiphone 335 for a 1979 Greco lawsuit Strat. I reckon I pretty much got everything I need at this point for electric guitars.

Bought this late 70s Greco recently but the seller wasn't sure what model it is. Hoping the brains trust in this group can help me identify it.

Traded a Stratocaster and got a PRS Dave Navarro and Gretsch CVT to the tool shed. Colour theme fully accidental 😊

I bought a CVT online recently - never tried it in a store so any owners here care to share their experiences with it? Is the sound close to a Les Paul junior or it has its own thing going? How does it feel when played standing up with a strap?
