My first concern was for the tone - the pickup's a mile away from the saddles [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: JB Player "5150" w/ real strat head~

damn! that's what we call a "briddle" pickup.

i do have to say that their necks REALLY aren't that bad. but man, that body is truly worthless on many levels. description is funny, tho...

Yeah, the AccuTUNE is a good Kahler copy. Other JB Players have the AccuTREM which is a cheap pot metal POS with cheap springs that stretch til the azz end of the trem hangs in the air.

I have a couple of JB Player Stratheads, one neckthrough, one bolt-neck. Both are solid wood bodies. The necks really are
quite decent, and the Strats and Tele I have have the athentic looking Strat and Tele headstock shapes. That's really the most appealing thing about 'em, which is why I don't like the later ones with the funky headstock shapes. Those are probably nicer because they have Floyd type trems instead of the Kahleroid trems, but they look goofy.

Re: JB Player "5150" w/ real strat head~

They're solid wood but I couldn't tell you what kind it is. I bought a body only as a project and put a real Kahler, pickup assembly and tuners on mine. The b!tch was cutting the pickguard to fit since there's no fretboard overhang for the pickguard to fit under. I didn't do the best job on that part but I used a Tiny Tim to do it!

The neck is narrower and thinner than my Model 6, and it feels just as good as the 6. For a cheapo Korean guitar I'm happy. It's fallen over a few times but still doesn't go out of tune, or I can not touch it for 2 months and it's still in tune. I wouldn't go more than say $150 for the real Strathead version, complete in excellent shape. It's still a JB Player, a decent beater in my book. It's not a guitar that comes with bragging rights. I like good mutts though! [img]graemlins/eyes.gif[/img]
