Got this today and I love it, perfect fit and finish, sounds amazing. My expectations have been exceeded.

Bit surprised to find it had the Classic Player screw-in trem arm but I will just get the Staytrem collet and arm if it annoys me (already ordered a Staytrem bridge)

    Very nice. Think you’ll stain the fretboard? I’ve got my eyes on the white one so I can put Wide Range Humbuckers in it to make it like Lee Ranaldo’s, but I just don’t like the colour of the wood. Is is a 7.25 radius? I prefer that to the 9.5.

    No plans to stain the fingerboard, I don’t think it’s particularly light, and yes the radius is 7.25. It plays really well.

    Very nice indeed. What colour are you going to paint it? ;)

     I had a quick look at the Vintera stuff the other day and they all seemed really nice. Good to see all the effort going into making a great guitar. If not perhaps naming them.

    Only jazzmasters and jags can get away with matching headstocks for me.

    Nice guitar. I really must go and find my Japanese built Jazzmaster, I’ve just realised that it must be about 4 years since I last played it. I always used to find that the neck looked  very long when playing it.

    Drool! How are the pickups in these? The PF fretboard doesn’t look too light at all there...

    I’ve only played it through a practice amp so far but I’m really liking the sound of the pickups.

    It’s my most played guitar, really happy with it. Plays great, sounds great. Staytrem bridge and trem upgrade are now installed.

    Awesome.. I hadn't seen these before but spied one in my local store yesterday. Didn't get chance for a play but I really liked the look of it...

    They do look great - I actually have a parchment guard on mine at the moment, but I do like the original tort too.
