More praise for JGCable

John gets four stars (out of four) for being the man: easy to talk to, easy to deal with, tells you what he is going to do, and then does it.

Enjoy, my friend! [img]graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

Re: More praise for JGCable

Ok, ..I gotta know, did you buy that N4 with the funky finish? or another?

Re: More praise for JGCable

I bought the one with the multiswirl finish. It has a chrome Stephens Cutaway neck plate too which I have never seen. They are usually black I believe. It is a 94' and according to Washburn, multiswirl was not an option on the N4. It certainly looks factory to me. It had a crack in the neck right on the scarf joint that was repaired some time ago and looks stable. What a friggin killer guitar. I thought that Herc Fede did it but he didn't. I will find out someday. Maybe there is info in one of the cavities. Keith (axtogrind) is a great guy to deal with. The guitar was packed up better than any guitar I have ever got.

Yeah, I knew you'd probably like the N4 from what you've told me about your preferences. So...more curiousity..did the crack go all the way thru? As in it almost snapped off? I had a mild interest in taht guitar as I like the finish too, but you know how it is, can't buy everything you want.

Re: More praise for JGCable

The crack didn't go all the way through. It seems very stable and although it hurts the value of it I don't intend on selling it. It is perfect for me and actually fits my playing style as if it was totally custom made for me. I prefer 22 frets and the access to the upper frets is incredible. There is no down side if you can get past the mulitswirl tan/black/brown/silver finish. I can for sure. If it didn't have a reverse headstock I would give it a 10. It also came with factory straplocks because the strap buttons are actually recessed into the body. This guitar is extremely well made. The frets are gigantic. They are the biggest ones I have ever seen. Very tall and wide. Maybe Dunlop 6300's?

I didn't think you'd want to replace the neck, once you saw it. Could be prettier (the neck) but seems like it will last.

I take back everyting I said about the finish: it seems that "ass" is in the eye of the beholder! [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Probably the most narrow neck I've ever seen: seriously, my fingers aren't fat, but it seemed more like playing a violin to me.

After I shipped it, it dawned on me that the artist might have left something under one of the covers. [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img] It's a MYSTERY!

Anyway, thanks again, and enjoy. Glad it arrived ok. Give us updates from time to time!
