is that, the website of the man who has ruined this (65?) Jaguar, proudly saying 'here is this jaguar I have ruined'?
I kinda feel like, to stay true to our original mission statement, OSG needs to put out a hit on this guy.

That does kind of seem like the logical conclusion.

A tenor-ified 60's SG
That one doesn’t bother me at all.

Yes it's completely fine, it's obviously been done by a real craftsman. ;D

I particularly like the care and attention he's put in to making sure even though the neck is narrower than when it started, the inlays are still in the centre of the neck. :fp:

My personal aversion to Gibson guitars just makes me shrug my shoulders. Tenor guitars, on the other hand, are almost always my "thing". But this handicraft disaster is certainly not playing well... and that is a crime!

I love it ! frets can be restored pretty easily, right? if there isn't too much damage to the fretboard (excessive planning for example)

^^^ It's for sale at Reverb if anyone wants to get it. Try to bait the seller with an offer, he may just bite and you'll catch a hell of a bass :blush: :P

I like it better than the Telecaster headstock, but that is not saying much.


It makes me smile for some reason.
