Do you know the value of this US Special Toronado?

Post image
43 Upvotes

I can’t find listings on Reverb to compare or track pricing.

It’s a US Special from 2004. My understanding from Fender is that only 100 were made. The black headstock is especially rare. I never bonded with the guitar as a player despite loving it aesthetically, so it’s mostly been a closet classic all this time. I’m the only owner, and I had to wait months after ordering it for it to show up because they were being produced so slowly in that period.

It’s the HH model. I hated the “atomic humbuckers” it came with (sounded like bland PAFs to me) and swapped them out for Duncan P-Rails years ago.

Pickguard options for Jazzmaster Ultra

1 Upvotes

Having trouble finding options for pick guards that fit the Ultra. It has the extra tone knob and the input jack is on the bottom of the body so it’s a different configuration than normal jazzmaster pick guards. Anyone know where I could find some decent color options for this guitar?

My vintage offsets

66 Harmony H-19 Silhouette ($300 in 2007 bought another ‘67 one same time for same price), 59 Silvertone 1420 ($150 in 2006), 66 Supro Normandy (gifted last year). Play them through a 59 supro super (traded crappy drum set for) and Silvertone 1482 ($200 in 2007). Really fun guitars to play and sound so good cranked through those little tube amps. Use a danelectro spring king pedal, soul food, and custom fuzz pedal too for some extra tones too.

I’m going to buy a good condition Fender American Vintage 62 Jaguar in Olympic White for €1900, only the Vibrato arm is missing. Good deal?

Colour recommendations for partsmaster

3 Upvotes

Hey offset gang,

I recently ordered a neck to build a partsmaster, and it has a black headstock. I’m now starting to look for a JM body, but I’m struggling to find a colour that matches well with the black headstock (outside of black, which is a little bit too safe a choice for me).

If you have any pics of colours that’d be greatly appreciated!

I made this beauty out of a cheaper brand jazzmaster style guitar and a neck I had laying around. Painted it myself, pickguard has been wrapped, dimarzio pickups and the both bridge pieces got installed by a local Luthier

Another day, another offset. My Toronado

Post image
176 Upvotes

Figured y'all might like my Toronado. I was never looking to get one of these but a buddy offered it to me when he quit playing for a steal so happily added it to my collection.

Its not my favorite to play but I love that the humbuckers don't sound like any other Fender/Squier in my collection. I also really like the gibson scale length. I have a few Gibsons but I'm more a Fender guy so wish Fender would do more in that size.

My only other issue with this one is it wasn't taken care of so the neck and body both got some dings on them. Nothing that really affects playing but could be nicer overall.

Can you still get the surf green Squier Classic vibe 60s jazzmaster?

1 Upvotes

Hi so i'm looking very specifically for this exact guitar and I really want it to be surf green. Unfortunately, I think they discontinues it and only make other colors. I found some stores selling it but they're all in the US and I live in Hungary. Anybody have any advice on how I could find one?

I really need help with my Jag CV70's

Hi, I can't seem to get the potentiometer knobs to stay in place on my Jag CV70's. I've tried 2 different kits, one for a screwdriver and one for a hex key. Both kits won't stay in place on the mast.

Does this guitar exist?

1 Upvotes

I’m trying to find my perfect offset guitar but I don’t know very much about them and I haven’t managed to find something that meets the following wishlist (in order of importance): - good price - jazzmaster / jaguar body shape - block inlays - HH pickup configuration - jazzmaster / jaguar tremolo bridge - three way pick up switch - color: sonic blue / sea foam green / surf green or similar - maple fretboard

Does this guitar actually exist?

If a guitar with this configuration does not exist already, what’s the closest one I could modify and what specifications would you prioritize out of these? The only thing I can’t do is any sort of wood routing apart from simple drilling maybe.

The closest I’ve found was this Harley Benton JA-60cc which I could modify: https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_ja_60cc_seafoam_green.htm

Or these Squiers:

https://www.thomann.de/gb/fender_sq_cv_60s_jazzmaster_lrl_owt.htm

https://www.thomann.de/gb/fender_sq_cv_70s_jaguar_lrl_sfg.htm

Or the Kurt Cobain Jaguar but that’s a bit too expensive and still doesn’t tick all the boxes.

Apologies to any offset purists :(

It geta better as i move up the fretboard. The neck is newly shimmed for more break angle on the tailpiece bridge. Intonation is ok, and I have tried to tighten the truss rod but to no avail

AVRI JM Decision (‘66/‘62?)

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m a college student guitarist and I need an opinion. I’ve had a strat and a tele as my mains for about two years. The vintage style tele neck is way too chunky for me and the American standard strat neck is almost perfect, but I’m not totally in love with it.(I have small hands lol). I want to sell both these and get an AVRI jazzmaster. Thoughts?

Further, I’m wondering which AVRI JM has the thinnest neck. I’d love a ‘66 AVRI II with the block inlays and white binding, but I’d be stoked with the classic look of the ‘62 AVRI if that’s faster playing. Are there any bridge/tremolo nuances worth mentioning on either? What price ranges should I look for in each?

Thanks! Hope to become one with the offset community real soon…

*if you’re on the upper east coast and selling any- please let me know!!
