There was a little left over ;)

Oh the shed was shrewd!

@@MusicisWin Whew...answers that question. I assume the cases went with the guitars, too?

@@MusicisWin Next time you have the urge to basically give guitars away for free please consider giving me one. I've been poor my entire life, I saved money to buy my guitar, I went through a cheap one($100 with mini shit amp(not that the guitar was any better), then got convinced to "buy the store owners" shitty Ibanez with the crappy Floyd Rose with the "fine tuners" which were awesome and didn't make up for the shitty design that doesn't stay in tune long enough to play 1 song($425). Then got my guitar I'm very grateful for and have had it for about 12 years and will never get rid of it, (MIM Deluxe Series is what is wrote on despite everyone referring to it as a 2010's model "Players Strat" in which nowhere in the manual nor on it is it referred to as a "player's strat". It has/had the vintage Stacked "single" coils (the humbuckers people call single coils(noiseless single coils). I wanted to improve my tone and decided, just a month ago, to update my pickups and surprisingly the $250'ish Seymour Duncan Everything Axe set doesn't really sound nowhere near as good as the pickups that came stock. Being I just spent all that money I'm going to try to stick with them and mod my guitar to give a vast amount of tone changing options. I spent a few weeks studying guitar circuitry, obsessively. I ordered $300 in circuitry parts. I have a unique experiment I'm going to try out so I can hopefully conqour the "multiple volume controls" issue, a special designed setup that of course is only special and unique if it passes the test and actually works. If not though it will be OK, there are plenty of other options and I'll have the parts to experiment with lots of resistors(many different values(caps too) for both the expected and not expected results), caps, 3 dual Stacked Concentric Pots with gold colored concentric knobs(the short ones) and 8 toggle switches(on/on 6 prong aka DPDT). Regardless of if the volume pots work out they(PUPs) will be equipped with toggle switches for use, the 3-way(5-way) switch will be converted to a 4-way cap change for tone knob(on A side of switch(caps in parallel add(C1 + C2 =Cx) ), and the B side will be a 5-way cap change for my low cut tone, switchable by toggle switch(changing from A to B depending on which I will need to better shape tone on any given effect(s), with a standard set for "variable cap switch off" on either the hi cut or low cut(without 5-way side A being cut off the trebble cap will just go through a 0.033uF cap, on the bass side will be a 0.0022uF cap when it's variable caps selection is cut off. I already have that circuit worked out and drawn up. Many other options/mods are going to go into this beautiful guitar that feels just right for me, $900 and something when I bought it and to me it was worth it despite other models going for much lower price. Though this particular model is still selling for around $725. Now that I know the pickups that came stock are actually very good on their own(no need to upgrade) I could really use a 2nd guitar to put them in, a good playability strat, thin and narrow neck that hand effortlessly slides down. Saddly I need my currently only guitar re-fretted, many frets have big flat spots on different strings in different positions. While I did learn how to do most repairs and setups on it, the frets is one thing I'm not comfortable trying to do. I'm going to have to save money for that one. I did get interested in self-made pickups and I'm stoked, I have a particular design "I don't think is being used in market-place pickups. I want to try out a hypothesis, making each poll its own coil(for theoretically more pronounced clarity of individual notes within chords, they will all be one continues coil wire, that will reduce the amount of coil so I figured after I get the limit on each pole(close neighbors, will have to wrap each coil before putting the next on) I will wrap around all 6 mini coils in the traditional way to get more coil on the pickup(s)- if that goes well it will of course become a set. I will make them from the ground up pretty much, so the strings are perfectly centered on the poles in each pickup position(3)x. The only thing I'll buy are the steel poles(screws with mounting chambers(for adjustable poles), which I already know greatly improves clarity of individual notes within chords buy listening to someone comparing Kinman's to the Everything Axe Duncan set(he was also fixated on the poles being accurately lined up(which Kinman does) while the rest, including other individuals irrationally believe that doesn't matter(of course it matters, just as much as the vertical distance from the pole to the string matters, we'll that pole being horizontally off is still a distance off and I could tell in his test by ear with my eyes closed, distinct clarity in the chords of Kinman's with poles perfectly matching string position in all 3 pick-up positions, while the Everything Axe set is clearly more cluttered sounding, less clarity of individual notes in a chord. It's easy to find this old man's comparison, and he has good ears too. I suggest non-believers to give it a listen...KZfaq "Everything Axe Kinman" that should bring it up. His shirt changes depending on which set he is using, (clever old man). And yes, I'm aut-ist-ic (Aspergers). PS: If my custom PUPs turn out to work as hypothesized then they shall be dubbed the "Dumbucker", the 14 coil mini humbuckers (for strat single coil PUP slots). Update: since I was linked back here by a like. The PUP idea is a flop, learned this from a guy that builds PUPs and sells them. This is a common idea by people who learn how to build PUPs.

The Jazzmaster will only increase in value. All those others, not so much. I'd take a vintage Jazzmaster any day over those.

How could you afford 8 picks?

Same, if I could find any of my picks! 😤

Lol I love it

@@alexbitzan8747 Yeah, definitely. I was just making a joke about how GC screws you on trade-ins.

Yes my sentiments exactly!! :) Well done!

Jaguars Got a more tele like omph to it, than a jazzmaster… I love both for that thing they Got Got to own one again

Well - jaguars leave a bit to be desired. The pickups aren’t nearly as versatile as the jazzmaster and the short scale makes it that much less rich / and that much less fender-ish. I’ve had a few because the looks are nearly irresistible- but I sold each one I had without regret

I’d take a jaguar any day.

I have to disagree I think the most underrated fender has to be the Mustang but that’s just my opinion

Lol, no Fenders are underrated! They’re literally the most appreciated guitars on the planet!

Now you know where to find it😉

I really liked it but I almost always use my Paoletti Stratospheric, which is one of my favorite guitars!

I tried one of the Paoletti Tele's at Gruhn's back in the fall and I didn't like it at all. I couldn't believe it was as expensive as it was.

My first thought, too.

He WhAt

Depends entirely on the individual instument. My 1962 jag has the thinest neck Ive ever felt on a guitar, 1965 has a baseball bat. And this has nothing to do with the years they're from, one just has an abnormaly thin A-width neck, and one has an abnormally fat B-width neck.

Yeah, in the pre-CBS years there was quite a bit of variation from one neck to another in thickness, shape and many times variations in the fretboard radius. Not to say QC was bad because it was quite excellent back then- it had to do with which builder shaped the particular neck. While they did have a guide pattern it wasn't strictly followed and each builder shaped those necks by hand and used their personal experience to try to get the best neck they could out of each peice of wood they had. Some of them even had compound radius fretboards before that even became a thing! You can find quite a few earlier examples that start in the "cowboy chord" area at 7.25, of course, and end up at an 8 or even 9 by the 12th or 14th fret! Anyway, that's why back in the day it was imperative to play the instrument before purchasing because player's tastes varied, and of course they still do, as much as the guitar necks varied. Cheers P[>

i really like the sound... but the body being bigger than a strat... one thing i have learned is that i prefer light guitars 🤷🏻 because i can handle them for more hours 😍 (heavy ones feel like cutting blood supply to your leg.)

@@0000song0000 I can build you a Thinline Turbocaster J-Master that's lighter than most Teles (which are lighter than Strats in general). Just finishing one for myself, with the brand new EMG J-Master pickups. Can't wait!!!

I bought a mexican Jazzmaster around 2010 and it's been my favorite guitar ever since. Seems like they really blew up in indie music over the last 10 years.

that was my thoughts exactly reading the title of the video… Jazzmaster, underrated? i see these everywhere, almost every local band down here in south florida has at least one guitar player playing one. and now shoegaze is suddenly in vogue and everyone wants to be kevin shields (,:

@@tidymilk5162 this. I don’t live in south Florida but the jazzmaster is anything but underrated these days

They're in no way underrated. Sure, the strats and the teles are everywhere, but the jazzmasters get a lot of attention.

Yeah it is weird or driven by the KZfaq algorithm! I have been looking at a Jazzmaster for few days. Even the Squier versions get pretty good reviews.

They’re majorly successful in the indie/alt rock scene, man. Kevin Shields, J. Mascis, Roland S. Howard, Kurt Cobain, Johnny Marr, etc. Many prolific musicians swear by em. If you go to Coachella or any alt music even you’ll see em everywhere.

@@John-mf1szand surf rock too

​@@John-mf1szRowland S Howard played a Jaguar - VERY twangy pick-ups.

@@princebonnie1357 That’s my bad, Howard definitely did indeed play a Jag, same with Johnny Marr now that I think about it. It’s like two sides of the same coin of shoegaze/alt rock. Jaguar/Jazzmaster.

So it's a jag or a jazzmaster ? (I'll know in a minute)

I traded my jazzmaster for a RG470 I regret trading it.... should've just bought the RG outright

If it also had blocks and binding it would be perfect.

Yep, me too! Kevin Shields definitely and MBV are truly genius! J. Mascis as well

I initially bought a Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster simply because a friend recommended one, and JM's are relatively common in midwest emo. I got into shoegaze shortly after and my jazzmaster is my best friend in music making now

Recientemente compré mi primera jazzmaster, una squire VM, ha sido interesante xq este tipo de guitarras con puente flotante y el asunto del tremolo flojo son un dolor de cabeza, pero esa guitarra es excelente para hacer un ruido asqueroso y delicioso

Kevin Shields kicks ass

Yeah, bizarre? Couple of weeks ago, I traded two cheapish guitars in, got what I paid for 'em, about three times what I was expecting to be offered. It's a funny old world.

Guitar center agent took advantage of him in my opinion, I understand they need to turn a profit but they raked him over the coals on this trade.

@@dragan4658 yeah, I wonder if age/experience comes in to it, too. I'm in my mid 50s and can grow a real beard 😉 Take me for a mug at your peril. 99 times out of 100, I know more about guitars than the shop employees. You don't tend to question them when you're young.

@@dragan4658 Probably right. My experience was similar to his; they looked my two up on some list and paid me about half the used value.

I can understand getting what you want, which is what he did, but it does seem he left quite a bit lighter on the wallet. On the other hand, we don't know what he paid for them, this side of an arm and a leg for what they appear to be worth. Nice playing, I've got to admit.

Try Elevated Jamtracks...lots of fantastic backing tracks

Agreed. So many people think it was a terrible trade. Sheesh

@@TheCatnipCinema Good trade. Terrible price.

Price doesn't always equate to quality

No way that is better wualoty better than the PRSs that he traded in

but how can less be more? less is more? MORE is more

yes

This asshole has 40+ guitars do you really think he's worried about something breaking??!

@@jamierodriguez3554 lol fr who does this guy think he is trying to pass common sense to any seasoned player off as some hidden information

@@jamierodriguez3554 and he’s an asshole how?

He's more pro than you lol. Probably didn't spend time looking for angled jacks.

they are completely different, you're right

100%. They are different construction. (bar magnets vs rod "slug" magnets) They are similar, but JM pickups will sound like a mix of traditional P90s and a Tele neck.

Wider, flatter coils on a JM also.

@@trevorreniger5670 yeah, plus isn’t “P-90” a Gibson trademark?

They are not even close to a p90 except in looks. And one sound up top? Did they take out his roller pots at the custom shop?

The War on Drugs, Kurt Vile, and Chris Stapleton mainly play them

Why bother???

because he only has one pair of hands...

yeh! not once did he do the jingle jangle behind the bridge out of tune harp thing behind the bridge! very meta. Maybe he called the pickups P90s intentionally too..

I have a 1982 "Vintage Series" '62 Reissue Sunburst Stratocaster. This limited run series of guitars were designed and built by the "custom shop" before it was officially named the custom shop. They are incredible instruments if you ever are lucky enough to find one I highly recommend getting it! It's my #1 and that thing is simply amazing. All of that to say this: I also happen to have a 1974 Sunburst Stratocaster which of course sports the big headstock and the 3 bolt neck with "micro-tilt". It also has a maple fretboard while the other has rosewood. I can say unequivocally that these 3 bolt neck years get a totally undeserved bad rap simply because when they came out everyone seemed to think it was sacrilege to change the Stratocaster and so the hate was heaped on the new design. Frankly in retrospect the micro-tilt system was genius. And some people thought the 3 bolts wouldn't be as strong but in reality the design is actually stronger! The reason is the third bolt is indeed an *actual* bolt (as you know guitar necks are secured by long wood screws- we all call them bolts but that is a misnomer) that goes into the threaded hole in the metal plate under the neck. And the bolt is significantly larger in diameter than any regular guitar neck "bolts". Bottom line: that neck joint is extremely strong and will absolutely stay where you set it. Bottom, bottom line: while my Reissue will always be my #1 (because it's a great ax and my late father gave it to me for Christmas in 1983- it was also my first guitar and I was a kid so it's got serious sentimental value to me) there is no denying my '74 3 bolter is also a very fine instrument that plays like a dream and sounds just like a vintage Strat should! I've been saying for years that folks are eventually going to realize the 70's Strats are nothing like their reputation implies and are great, real deal US Fender's and can usually be had for a bargain because of their unfair image. Of course you can get a lemon from any era but I contend that on average you'll get no more lemons from the 70's than you would from any other decade.

@@patrickfoster4586 very cool guitars you have! I remember looking at a brand new stratocaster in 1977, I played it in the music store and I was 13 years old at the time, it became my dream guitar and I couldn't afford one at the time, I had to go back home and play my old Silvertone amp in case, I think the guitar was actually made by Danelectro. But I was forever hooked on 70's 3 bolt necks from that day in the music store as a young boy!

@@musclecarmitch908 They are definitely great guitars! The micro-tilt was one of Leo's last genius touches before leaving. I think it's too bad it didn't catch on. Sure beats having to take the neck off and trying to guess the right size shim needed to correct the neck angle! Cheers Mitch, P[>
