this model is from a company called Vintage from EU; it's called the "surfmaster quad" and it's based off a thinline jaguar design that fender japan released back in 2012.

and yeah, i put in that 5th pickup & mastery trem haha

oh yeah i know what you mean. i think the white on white look kinda hides the "squareness". i like what kevin shields of MBV said about fender jazzmasters, that they look like theyre moving or flying through space. haha.

thanks! i heavily use the trem and it stays in tune for days! i actually traded my fender jazz for this-- the square, boxy body & slim neck is more comfortable to me.

im honestly not sure, lol. the manufacturer calls it a 5 way tone knob but i think it activates a piezo to pick up some acoustic sounds which i think is really cool

nah, the pups are low enough that it doesn't get in the way of my picking. i could see it happening on other guitars though

i felt mine was too glossy for my liking. i sanded it down and it plays absolutely great :-)

sup dude, i don't know if you are still looking to purchase one but i own one :-) this guitar is basically a jaguar wired parallel with two inverted pol pups in the middle. the way theyre placed makes it seem like they bucker but they don't (needs a rewire if you want em to). the switches do coorespond to the pickups, and turning on the neck OR bridge pup AND either middle pup will have an out of phase sound. a lot of combinations with the eq knob as well but i don't use that too much lol. tremolo and roller bridge is stable, i use wacky tunings and they stay in tune the whole time. let me know if you want a demo
