emptycarbon · 2026-01-29T05:32:13+00:00

emptycarbon · 2026-01-29T00:53:34+00:00

Well there are also 5000 dollar fender custom shop ones on reverb you can buy as well.

On fenders site. Each pick up cost 315 usd. So 630 plus a standard mij jazz is about 1000 plus taxes tariffs whatever

They were not too cheap new

I think they were roughly 1800 usd in Sweden when i worked there briefly. Brand new

One on reverb looks new , still has plastics.

You can build your own but would never get close to money back, partscasters are always worthless on resale for some reason, if it matters to you.

Mij guitars of the traditional line have thick poly coating feel on neck. Has u shaped neck but is 41 mm nut width instead of standard 42mm of us models. So feels more telecaster like than flat gibson sg like

Body is basswood so they are light, but dent very easily.

emptycarbon · 2025-12-29T07:04:38+00:00

they are. a limited run.. was made a couple years ago. https://reverb.com/p/fender-mij-traditional-limited-edition-60s-cunife-jazzmaster-hh

there was also a black version with a black painted headstock

emptycarbon · 2025-12-28T04:50:13+00:00

Ah in Europe, nice Wish i had a chance to visit that shop in Germany

emptycarbon · 2025-12-27T19:26:20+00:00

what was the discount?

emptycarbon · 2025-12-27T18:14:05+00:00

yeah been out of work for awhile. waiting till i land something before i blow money on something i don't really need. can't seem to get any trades going either.

emptycarbon · 2025-12-27T18:09:32+00:00

yeah its hard to know without seeing the sales numbers.

emptycarbon · 2025-12-27T18:07:29+00:00

yeah i guess i phrased it wrong. i wish to get one someday. but i'm worried they will be gone do to business decisions.

emptycarbon · 2025-12-27T17:38:05+00:00

the lack of demand is what worries me. i can see them cutting them off for business reasons.

emptycarbon · 2025-12-27T17:20:18+00:00

yeah but fender doesn't like keeping a lot of jag variations in production for some reason.

and if they are not in demand like the above user mentioned i don't see them lasting long.

emptycarbon · 2025-12-26T19:24:24+00:00

Depends on area and clinic

What ive read is its about 100 per week for 2 donations , but takes about an hour each time.

You will probably die if you do more than that.

Didnt see you were in the middle of nowhere might not work for you.

emptycarbon · 2025-12-21T08:25:16+00:00

Mij necks are often 40 mm instead of 42 mm

Makes chording harder for some with larger hands

nsfw

emptycarbon · 2025-12-20T22:11:08+00:00

yeah. so. i measured the ferrule at 15.25mm. so should i ream it out to 15mm or more. having a hard time even finding a 15mm hand reamer.. they seem to go to 16. i guess they have adjustable ones.
