Iridium is hidden

Hey yalls, I purchased a Cyclone II a couple of months ago and I found out it doesn't quite fit my standard sized stratocaster/telecaster gigbag. I believe it's slightly longer so the neck sticks out from the top because of the longer body shape.

Does anyone know what case to use for the Cyclone II? I don't think its the same as a mustang/cyclone case.

Reall

I have only owned this guitar for about 2 weeks and is my first offset guitar.

I immediately swapped out the old bridge for a Staytrem style bridge and a 1mm shim in the neck.

Over the past week i have gone through 5 high e strings, on most, if not all occasions, it snapped at the ball end.

The most recent breakage was caused by a large bend. I would happily do the same bend on a stratocaster, without worrying about the string snapping, however, im unsure as to whether I should/not bend as care free on my jaguar as i do with my strat! Additionally, if this shouldnt be a factor as to why my string keeps on breaking, any tips on how to fix my issue would be very much appreciated!

Hey all,

Looking for some advice, my girlfriend bought me a Jag-Stang for Christmas shout out to her for being the best ever. Since then, I’ve been chasing down this weird grounding issue on the guitar.

When not touching metal on the guitar it hums super bad, when touching any metal (strings, bridge whatever) it doesn’t hum. Doesn’t matter what the pick up selection is. I can’t figure out what to do.

I have taken this guitar in to the shop twice now and it doesn’t do it in the shop, but they have gone through the wiring and found no issues.

I’ve used different amps and DI boxes with no luck.

I tried using a power conditioner and no luck.

I have a number of other guitars and none of them do this.

Turing to Reddit to see if their is any common known issues or ideas

Thanks in advance!

Got this one a while ago and like always...can't leave anything alone. Hipshot locking tuners (fender retrofit) Music City Three string tree Novak JM180 and JM-V (stock fender wiring configuration) Aluminum pickup covers, switch tip and witch hat knobs Ebay spring in the panorama And of course last but not even close to least...the bensonite bridge

Hi!
I own a Jazzmaster and I'm pretty disappointed with the middle position. It does not sound bright and snappy enough.
I found a video on Youtube with a Jaguar vs Jazzmaster comparison and the middle position of my Jazzmaster sounds exactly like this at 00:48

But in the comments, a lot of people say it does not sound like the regular middle position of the JM and that it sounds out ouf phase.
While I don't think it does sound out of phase, I also find that it does not sound like what I would expect.

To all JM owners, what do you think when comparing to your guitar?
If someone could record a small demo with clean sound that would be much appreciated.

I’m thinking of buying the Jazzmaster Player Series II if it can solve the problem.

Edit: I tested a Jazzmaster Player Series II at a guitar shop and it sounded more like what I'm expecting from a Jazzmaster. Still not clear to me why such a difference...

Figured I would ask here among the true initiated. Coming from a Fender family, but I want to widen my horizons to something at home shredding in a handful of ways:

<$1000 but used is fine!

1. Offset (duh!), for both looks and comfort
2. Supreme neck access (fender bolt on is too blocky, for instance)
3. 12" radius neck or more... Compound would be cool
4. 25.5" (or close) scale length... Open to multi scale though
5. Humbuckers with coil split (HSH or HH)
6. Floating bridge tremolo (can pitch up and down) with reasonable tuning stability and a decent range (full step or more)

BONUS: Stainless steel jumbo frets

I have a new CV jag I picked up as a project and I would like to toss in a set of lipstick pickups but I’m unsure about the mounting plates on the pickups I’m seeing, the only ones I see that come with an optional mounting plate are the Novak dano lipsticks but those are like 150 per pickup which seems nutty to pay that for a lipstick. Do you know of any other brands that have the plate spaced for a jag? Most of the ones I’m seeing are spaced for a strat

Just picked this up. I’ve always had a Jaguar, and fell in love with this JM when I saw it. I changed the pickup covers to black, and ordered a custom Seymour Duncan humbucker for the bridge. Feels great to play.

I always played CIJ offsets but this thing is my number one atm.

Here’s my modded Jetstream RB. Love these guitars, I’ve got an orange one too.
