I sold the Vintera before I bought the MIJ (which is now also available in Europe via Thomann)ThisWholeWorld wrote: ↑Mon Jun 26, 2023 5:12 am
Thank you for your detailed response, @MayTheFuzzBeWithYou !
I have a few further questions:
- how does the weight compare between the 2 guitars?
- did you perceive any tonal differences?
- I understand that you found the neck profile more comfortable on the MIJ one. I have smaller hands so the neck size matters to me.
- I don't like to do any changes on the guitars (when really not needed). One of the reasons I want to buy a Jaguar (my first offset as well!) is for the tremolo bar. Is this working well on both guitars or will I need to invest in a new piece? If so, what is the most recommended purchase?
- the only thing I am not crazy on the Japanese model are the fretboard block inlays. Do you find them cool? Which color have you bought?
Thank you.
- and the guy I sold it to basically just took the Staytrem Bridge and tried to re-sell it but no one wanted it at that time…I could hook you two up if that is of interest to you (I‘m in Austria so shipping within Europe shouldn‘t be to crazy).
But can compare it tomorrow to two Squier Jags and a Thinline. It never bothered me weight-wise…
- for the tremolo bar (I wrote something above as I‘m the OP of this thread… so the answer to the colour question should be obvious ): I personally hated the screw in trem (might work perfectly fine for others) - the MIJ is a push in and it rattles every now and then… but works smooth.
The Staytrem arm is the perfect upgrade and the best 45€ spent imo.
And: I love those perfect sized Block inlays!
