Hey there JCF'ers,
This is my first post on the lovely forum so I thought I'd share the new guitar I stumbled upon. I somehow discovered this little beauty on Halloween through Craigslist and drove down to go meet the girl who was selling it. Apparently, it belonged to a friend of hers who moved back to the UK and left the guitar for her to sell. Judging by the state of the strings and dirty frets, it looked like the guitar hadn't been played in years(maybe even decades...)Luckily everything was completely stock and still had the trem arm for the Schaller, alas no case.
Needless to say, I was excited to clean and set her up! After some conditioning and polishing, I swapped out the insert blocks, nut locking screws, and the tremolo arm for some new ones that I generally tend to prefer. Also moved the volume knob over to the hole where the mid boost Q knob was located, since I always hit the volume knob with my picking hand.
The mid boost is a cool little feature that helps make the single coils a little more "quacky" for some more strat style tones. Anyways enough chat, let's get to the photos of the guitar now that she's all purrty!
Scoring this one definitely makes me want more USA Jackson's because they really do play and feel as good as I had hoped!
