Sounds amazing. The mini humbuckers are great. It is sloppily shielded but quiet none the less. The Jaguar plate lets you get stratty sounds by combining middle and bridge or middle and neck. It is wonderful. I love the semigloss finish on the neck. WAY better than the full sticky gloss type to me. The ebony fretboard is beautiful and I love the blocks and binding. The matching gold headstock with gold decal is /chef'skiss... The bigsby works great. I love the white knobs as well and white tuner tips. It is so classy. All I am doing is adding straplocks, conditioning the fretboard, and putting a Mastery bridge on it.

So cool, congrats and enjoy!

[HNB]

Thanks!

Very cool! Congrats, HNB! I've had my eye on these for a while. I love the Jag-switch style pickup controls to get the stratty sounds and still have the neck & bridge combination, too. Also, I like the three mini-humbucker configuration, too.

I wish they did something similar for the Noventa Jazzmaster with the 3 P90s - easy to modifiy it with S-1 switch wiring harness or something I guess. I'm a fan of Shoreline Gold, too and I'm slowly getting interested again in the block & binding aesthetic.

Being a Gretsch guy, I've never had a problem with the Bigsby but I get folks who prefer for the standard Jazzmaster/Jaguar tremolo.

I dig it. It’s very flashy, but not overdone. I’d like to try this model someday. Those pickups are intriguing.

Agreed, those pickups are very intriguing. The whole darn package is sweet. Congrats!

I don't mind either style tremolo but I kind of like that this one has a bigsby. Kind of quirky. You get a lot of sounds out of these. The routing would likely handle three p90s if you wanted to put those in.

I agree. It is classy but not much. The pickups are really good.

Very cool guitar. The neck finish is amazing.

Mastery on and new strings loaded up. Very happy with this guitar!

Sweet!!!!

Was wondering who'd be the first one on the site to get one, they got absolutely slated for severe QC defects when they first came out.

The gold variant is the infinitely better colour option, the redburst version looks awful.

What problems were people having? Mine is fine.

[Steadyriot.]

Did you peek under the pickguard perchance? I’m curious about the routing and the pickups! I think these are Roswell but not sure..

[Mind Flayer]

Looks great. How heavy is it?

I remember a lot of them had pickups with basically no output or something along those lines.
