Except for the trem, that is pretty cool!!

 

[ezas]

Yeah it is kinda cool in a really strange, this is wrong on many levels kind of way. Talk about your parts bin guitar!

But get that Trem unit plated in black chrome and it could be a looker if you kinda squinted at it.

 

[JaySwear]

Ouch haha I like it! I'd take a Jazzmaster or Jaguar body over that any day, but give me the option of this or a Jagstang and I'll go sideways-Strat every time

 

[ezas]

An off-set guitar is my next project

 

[line6man]

What part of that are they calling a Strat? The strapbuttons?
Just because you have a Strat headstock doesn't mean you have a Strat. :dontknow:

 

[erogenousjones17]

It sorta almost looks like a Strat. I mean come on--it has horns AND a Strat headstock to boot. :icon_biggrin: I suppose they could have called it the Jazzocastermaster, but that's just not very punchy.

I like the shape, but I'm not crazy about the oddball acoutrements.

You'd have to be on crack to want that tremolo...

 

[Cagey]

I don't know about crack... I understand that's some wild stuff. Maybe opium or heroin. Something that would not ask for wild gyrations or a lot of effort, and would let you not care about being in tune.

 

[JaySwear]

I really just meant the body shape :icon_biggrin: definitely not crazy about that trem myself.

 

[Mor Paul]

It kinda fills a gap between a Strat and a Starcaster.

Starcaster.



Starcaster.




Starcaster.

Not crazy about the choice of the only bridge design in history to ever outsuck the Bigsby. The f-hole is a matter of taste, and it's not mine. The offset strat body I'm digging though.

 

[ezas]

I've always liked the long string path with that jazzmaster style bridge but that's all I like about it.

I guess then that Jimmy Page is on crack, and me too, cause I think it looks pretty rad on a tele...

 

[rapfohl09]

I, for one, am all about offset bodies, so I would dig it :icon_thumright:

 

[tfarny]

OK Fender, step AWAY from the Kisekae....I feel like these pawn shoppers are just random collections of Fender parts and there are better designs (but maybe not $500-able) every month on the forum.

While I agree with you that it looks like Fender shook a box of parts and these are what dropped out I wouldn't mind having the '51 or the Offset Special. But not enough that I wouldn't rather put that money towards my own shook a box of parts guitar or another project (Fixing/modifying an off-the-shelf) guitar.

Oh, waiter- I'll have what HE's having.  :icon_biggrin:
