I generally don't like signature guitars, but the Jim sig Tele will be added to my arsenal. That white one is fucking sweet.

You mean the Flatheads? Yeah, those were cool, but not a signature model...

Jims Stratheads were pretty cool... Except for the last 2 they tried to give him. There was a 3 tone sunburst and a white one. I won't even mention the problems they had. Both Custom Shops too...

[Ozz666]

Very cool Scott!
Gary's a really nice guy too!

[vwall]

Yeah- He is a very humble dude.

Sig tele... hmmm not that im rushing out to
buy one but very intersting...

Go on.... mention away. It'd do us good to find that artists get problem guitars too

Jim and I went to Corona so I could check out the Fender/Jackson/Charvel plant. Cool tour I got by an inside man. That's the way to go. Skip all the filler, go straight to the good stuff...

Anyhoo, as we were wrapping up they gave Jim 2 new Charvels. Like I said a 3 tone sunburst one with S-S-H and a white one that was S-S-S. Both had maple fretboards. Forget the pickups, didn't matter they would have been swapped with EMG's anyway...

The 3 tone sunburst one was decent. They were ordered with a very thin nitro finish. When they were buffing the nitro, they went too far in a couple of spots actually going down to the wood. So that looked kinda strange but it played decent. Actually, I remember it playing very nicely...

The white one was a total dog. It had those buffing problems all over it. The pickups were not wired properly, the middle didn't work. The neck had a horrible hump in the first 5 frets. The frets were not leveled properly. Then the truss rod was stripped rendering the guitar worthless. Too bad too because the neck profile on it was nice. It was a looker too, white strathead with 3 singles and black hardware. But with those problems? Accidentally buffing the clear until there is no clear and no paint left? Come on...

We took them but ended up sending them back. It was at this point that Jim decided to go back to Fender. He doesn't have those problems with Fender...

[Chad]

Wow, you'd think they would be mega-embarrased to deliver guitars like that to a popular player like Jim.

wow.

that's really terrible. they should be embarrassed. buffing through paint?

of course it's the same umbrella company in the end.
