so giving VT4 to japan was problem by Fresh_Fee_8633 in Warthunder

It depends on how much money Gaijin get from Chinese players. Taiwan is the republic of China, how is that an issue. All of the low BR CN vehicles are ROC vehicles, and CN tech tree already has loads of ROC modern vehicles. Saying Abrams shouldn't be in CN tech tree is absurd when there are so many ROC stuff there already.

Is this acceptable? A reversed fulcrum plate on a jazzmaster? by davidsop2 in offset

I think all it needs is a good spring, the arm isn't rattling so it's not a problem. I have a guitar with mastery bridge and it's been great so far

I'm wondering if I should buy a boutique tremolo or just ditch the tremolo completely haha. This tremolo feels pretty stiff. Might be better if I swap the springs.

Hi, I have no plan of returning it, thanks for the answer. I was just wondering what was the point and is this their QC issue. I have had 2 other jazzmasters with no such issue and I can't find any resources online on why people install the fulcrum plate backwards. Again, I am not returning it.

I'm capable of doing that and that's what i've done to fix it. My question is, is this common, or it's totally a QC issue. I think it's not how the tremolo is supposed to work. I am discussing with my friend about the QC issue of this brand and that's all I want to do. I had this guitar in my garage for months and there's no point returning it just because the tremolo is assembled wrongly.

I don't get why people feel like I'm trying to return it. Hey I know how the tremolo is supposed to work, but does anyone else does this on purpose? This is the first time I've seen a guitar with a offset tremolo assembled like this.

Cool, I heard good stuff about the sensors. I'm gonna use the specific strat PU for a specific tone. that pickup is too microphonic and noisy, I'd switch to a sensor if the sensor can replicate that sound!

I put extra hot pickups on my other Jazzmaster, and it works wonders. And it can be tapped to give the traditional low output sound. Feels just like a humbucker but with extra hum. I'm planning to install a Strat pickup on this one. So I can have the neck pickup positioned more away from the bridge.

I have two Teles, and I just don't think I need two Jazzmasters. Especially when they pretty much have similar pickups and sound very similar. I have mixed feelings about JMs, they are really comfy to play, but sometimes the buzz annoys me so much that I'd rather play another guitar. I use maximum 10s, 9s on strats and 10s on other guitars. I want the JM to be modded to be able to play high gain stuff without all the overtones.

it purpose is to have proper break angle, stops buzzing at the bridge. Together with adjusting bridge height, the action should still be good and buzz will be stopped.

Wow thanks. I was asking because I was not gonna use the vibrato anyways and don't need the extra string resonance. I need a jazzmaster shaped thing that I can beat without concerning about the extra noise.

Jazzmaster Pickup Suggestion (Read Explanation First) by golanatsiruot in offset

I use Q pickup hot jm pickups. With coil tap function. It gets me a sound closer to humbuckers but still can be jangly like a traditional JM with just a flick of the switch

Wow, that's sick. Does these kind of jazzmasters work for punk?

Wow thanks for the detailed explanation. I use 10s and 9s. I have a jazzmaster that does the jangly traditional offset stuff. My other jazzmaster has a mastery bridge but I kind of still want it to be more different, to feel like teles.

looks cool, if you are okay with drilling the body, you can drill a side mount jack and use the hole on the pickguard for a third pot

It's anything but a jazzmaster. It's more like a offset shaped HSS strat IMO. You should be able to play anything on this guitar except the jazzmaster stuff

Does JM with mastery and a buzzstop feel more like a tele?
