Should I - shouldn't I

Teetonetal

Been offered a thinline mij jag at a respectable price. I've had an offset itch that needs scratching for quite sometime.

I can't really afford it but it's the first one I've ever seen 2nd hand over here and it's local...

The wife will kill me.

I should buy it right?

Let's look at the facts

Your wife will kill you and you can't really afford it.

So pissing the wife off spending money you haven't got to buy another guitar would be silly, but you'd be being silly, getting ignored by your wife enjoying a new guitar in peace.

Do it.

No. Absolutely awful things. More feedback than a Katie Hopkins opinion article.

Avoid.

@underdog you have a view of the situation that I like very much

You seem to be labouring under the misapprehension that feedback isn't a good thing.

To be fair, the OP did ask for feedback, so it would be a good choice

Not enough cash and an annoyed loved one, naaa respect her and your wallet, it's only wood and metal

Sporky,

I had one when they first came out. Utterly uncontrolable and I use very clean amps and low gain generally.

Dreadful sounds, a pig's ear of a guitar.

You'll see more 2nd hand ones, I suspect...

Maybe there's some other way to scratch that particular itch..?

How did you get on here with views like that? Sick man.

Pay for it on a credit card - tell the good lady that you've not brought it yet as MC or Visa paid for it and you will endeavour to pay them back soon and as such you 'don't own it yet - At least you'll get what you want asap

Tell her that you've bought on behalf of a forum member, and he's asked you to look after it until he next comes to Zurich.

Really? I know mij electronics are crap these days but is the actual guitar bad?

Sounds like a thinline between love and hate.

the stock pickups aren't amazing but they weren't that bad. They are however, unpotted.

Replace the pickups and the bridge and its an awesome guitar and the feedback issue goes away

You do the celebrated Axisus gambit - have the guitar sent to work, dismantle it, smuggle the parts home then announce that you are going to make something up from spare parts that you have lying around.

Now that is genius, I'm stealing that!

It's not a real jag. Buy a vintage modified squier.
