Just stumbled upon this. I thought some of you may be interested.

They've got the American Original '60s up as well-

oh, I think many people were waiting for that colour and hardware combination. The pictured one has a nice burst and grain. I'd be interested to know whether they simply threw in their standard AV65 PU's or went for something fancier.

Yeah, I wish there was a spec sheet, but at least we know what it looks like.

They’ve taken the pics down. Did anyone get a copy of the photos?

This with a 9.5 radius would be perfect for me.

Good news then! Initial reports were that this has a 9.5 radius and 6150 frets like a Wildwood Thinskin. All historically accurate reissues with 7.25" and small frets are allegedly being moved to Custom Shop lines.

This was secondhand information when I heard it, so consider it unconfirmed (though the frets do look big in the photo).

Hope so. The only 7.25 JM I ever found playable was my Fender J Mascis in purple. The super jumbo frets made it far more playable than it should have been. My JM66B was so frustrating I got rid of it. Fuck little frets and round radiuses. I want to be able to play ALL styles on my main guitar, not just single string surf and spy.

I mean, I'm obviously not going to convince you of this, but a vintage radius and small frets don't preclude different styles. I play 24" jags and mustangs with 7.25" radii, vintage frets, and .010's (the cardinal sin!). Big bends, fuzzed out alt/indie, blues session work, Chet Atkins style fingerpicking...In my experience, it's purely a matter of setup.

Back when I first got my first Jag a good 15+ years ago, I definitely believed that it "couldn't" do all that stuff, but over time, my electric guitar collection became my offset collection, and I think I currently only have two guitars flatter than 7.25".

that's pretty cool! from this first peep, anyway.
hope they have one or two at NAMM that i can check out.
i won't be tempted though, i just did a custom offset with the '58 look with a maple neck.
if i didn't have a few awesome Jazzys already, i'd be looking into this!

definitely my favorite look, although on another day it's Firemist Silver or IBM with a matching headstock.
we sure have sure have seen a lot more choices since the early years of OSG!

I know it can be done, but I live in Newfoundland and the weather has me tweaking a 7.25 much more often than is necessary with a flatter neck radius. I should have mentioned that. My bad!

I imagine it's a fair bit more humid than it is here in OntarioC but we get our share of wild temperature swings.

Play what makes you happy. For me, that's 7.25" but variety is the spice of life, etc.
