there's actually a dealer about ten minutes away.. I might have to stop in soon
I've talked to one person who had one who's also a big Jazzmaster fan and he said they're pretty decent for the money.. anyone else play one? i'd love to get more input on these

I think they're great .. a year ago I emailed the only UK distributor of DiPintos about buying one, but they never got back to me.

I've played one. Things I noticed were the trem was really soft (probably needs a stiffer spring) and the frets were rather large and the radius fairly flat... at least compared to a vintage or RI Fender. It sounded great unplugged though. Nice and resonant.

Flat radius, hey? .. I like having both vintage and flat radii around. I'd love to have a play on one of these but over here the chances of me walking into a shop and seeing one I can actually handle are pretty much nil, so the "buy-it-and-flip-it" route would be the only possibility.

I had one, they are great! I highly recomend!
It's not about the gear! It's about you, your hands, your imagination, your feelings.

I'd hit it... it looks great in Capri Orange, I can't dig it so much in sparkle or trans green. But I'm pretty big on Capri Orange.

I played one of the Los Straitjackets models that a friend bought. Very cool guitar for the money. I didn't like the material they made the nut out of.... seems like a really soft plastic. Easliy replaceable. I also didn't like the fact that the trem arm doesn't pop in. It just swings freely, and falls out if you lean forward. You could probably swap out the trem arm collet with one from an AVRI Jag or JM.
I bought my JM first. A Jag and a Galaxie are definitely next on my list.

New PG (new shape) and rip out 1 pup and I'd use it,only the green one though.
Oh,and I'd rip out all the buttons and just have a 5way for the 3 pups in the duo sonic position.
