Cool looking Guitar but why would you think it's an Offset? Unless the pictures aren't showing the the angle of Offset?

Who cares if its offset or not?

If you like it play it

The old "is or isn't offset" debate... it doesn't have an offset waist, so it's not an offset guitar. It's a simple concept.

Next time I’ll make sure to include one or two Jazzmasters in the picture to satisfy people like you. Yes, it’s not technically an offset. Hence my slightly sarcastic thread title. But the top half of the guitar gives off an offset vibe given that the upper bout extends farther than the lower bout. But yes, by your technical analysis, it’s not really an offset. I’ll run my next pic by you first for approval before posting it.

Oh that escalated quickly LOL

I don't remember calling you out for it not being offset... I was just commenting because you raised the question and others also talked about it.

It's a nice guitar, btw

No need to be so snippy.

The guitar looks amazing, the Rickesque sound hole is cool and I always like a well designed tailpiece.

Same model Josh Homme plays, yes?

Not offset. People tend to think that any somewhat odd shape means it's offset. No big deal. Common error.

Nothing is anything until it is written. After that, it's everything.

You asked if it was an Offset. It isn't. No need to get over sensitive. Who cares if it's an Offset? It's still a really cool Looking Guitar. I'd like to try one out, I like it!!!
