I unironically like the Djentmaster. A dream guitar of mine would be a 7 string Jazzmaster with 3 Lace Alumitones.

There is in fact a Schecter 7 string Jaguar. They came in sunburst and black and I think even CFM.

Question: you want to manufacture an Electric XII knockoff, but you can't find a source for cheap repros of the original pickups. What do you do?
As long as the p-bass pickups had blade polepieces, that would probably work just fine. Also, it would be cool as hell. I wonder how that would sound.

Oh, I've just remembered one I saw a long time ago on AliExpress. You're going to have to take my word for it, because it looks like it's been pulled since ― thankfully.

It was a guitar shaped like a Swastika ― definitely not a Hindu one, as it was painted in the colors of the German flag. I shit you not. :fp:

EDIT: found a pic floating the web. As far as I can remember that's the one I saw.

Hmmm... It's a counterclockwise Swastika, but still.
I gasped and then LOLed. Hoooooo boy. I guess you could call that the... Reichenbacker?

The cool thing about fretless is you can hit a note...and then renegotiate.

Yes, I've been particularly offended by these cropping up all over.

Almost offended enough to throw a couple bills at one to see just how offended I should be! :fp:

It does have 12 strings after all- am I not obligated by my quest to PLAY THEM ALL!?!?!


I hereby give ANY AND EVERY OSG member permission to punch me in the gooch if I ever spend money on one of these.

With the dual P-Bass pickups I now wish that it was a bastardized mix of a Electric XII and a weird early 80s BC Rich Bass. GIVE ME A MOCKINGBIRD 12, YOU COWARDS.

A XII styled 8 string bass would be awesome.

In theory, shouldn't the P-Bass pickups work just fine for a guitar though? Each string/string pair would still be in between 2 pole pieces, just like the bass strings, and there are a few guitar pickups that already do that.

I'm sure it would work fine, just as a Strat pickup works fine in Musicmaster and Bronco basses. In fact I've been very curious about trying bass pickups in guitars myself... It's just that it looks pretty tacky on a guitar that is trying (not very hard, admittedly) to look like a Fender XII.


Anyway... I know some people on OSG are quite sensitive about the shape of the current Mustang control plate, and how it doesn't closely follow the edge of the body. So...

Hahaha this looks like the Jagstang if Kurt played a Kalamazoo instead of a Mustang.

In all honesty, that's no uglier than the actual Jagstang.

How dare you insult TEH KURTZ

I’m impressed with the body shape. That’s actually pretty accurate.
I have nothing to offer anybody, except my own confusion?

I stand by my opinion on TEH KURDTZ... great singer and songwriter for sure but terrible guitar tone and a terrible guitar designer.

The production on Nevermind is incredible. Butch Vig made a DS-1 work, imo.
