The most annoying thing about this article is this: "Fact: Offset snobs suck at guitar and barely know anything about them."
I know I don't post regularly, but spend enough time on here to know that if this place is any measure of the people who play offsets, I would say that Jazz/Jag players tend to spend a lot more time educating themselves on the setups, quirks, limitations (see: this thread) and odd wiring layouts of their guitars then say, your average Les Paul guy, who spends more time pondering the tonal advantage of vintage-correct binding (I say this owning a Les Paul Custom in Pelham Blue). Also, the stereotype that if you play an offset, you bang out nothing more than reverb-drinched noisewash has become tiresome. I continue to use my Jazzmaster as my primary guitar for almost any jazz gig I play.
All of that said, my Jazzmaster is a rock. It's more stable than my LP, Tele and Strats, and is my most reliable instrument. Granted, it took a bit of adhesive and some lubrication here and there, but it did the job. My Jaguar, on the other hand, truly is a temperamental pain in my ass more often than I'd like to openly admit.
