No photo shoot for this one, but just look at that burst. Easy to forget with modern reincarnations so underwhelming, that the real deal is a thing of beauty. Well, to me it is anyway.

My 1962 Jaguar. Slab neck. The best guitar I've ever played.

Very nice, are the dots on the neck clay? They look very white on my phones screen.

Yeah, they're clay. Beige / brown in reality - iPhone camera has done odd things to those and the pickup covers -
Far less vivid in reality

@Gav Haus
Yea that one is perfect. That's a perfect burst. The bursts on the AVRI 62 line were pretty good for the most part.
I always found that burst looks better on Jags than on other offsets. I like Mustangs in 3TSB too now that I think of it. I prefer custom colours on Jazzmasters.

Hey Gav, what strap is that? It's got some chunky leather on those ends!

In the interests of contributing to the thread, here's my #1 [and only] vintage offest, my '66 mustang.

It's an Overdrive strap. Love em - I have one for each of my 4. Thoroughly recommend

Also, lovely Mustang. I had a 65 for a number of years - was a great player.

Upload your pictures to a photo uploading site. I use image shack.

Then hit the little IMG button. It's just below the subject line on the offset guitars website where you go to post. . Paste a direct link to your photo in between the two bracketed abbreviations. It looks like this:

It's an Ibanez 2365, from 1971 or 72. I have just lowered bar on this thread.
