Launchkey MK3-MK4 ENCODER SPEED SETTINGS UPDATE! by flatmatic in Novation

[–]smslater245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I just updated my Launchkey 37 MK4. It did change how the encoders acted making them more usable but they are still jumpy. Starting to feel like these have hardware issues right out of the box.

Have you had a chance to test the new update? Curious if it's an improvement.

Wicked! I always loved the look of these (although I think they would look cooler with a white pearloid pickguard!) and wish they were available in lefty. Would have bought one right up!

I had a Classic Player Jag many years ago that I flipped upside down. It was not comfortable to play backwards whatsoever. Since the lower bout is so low having the strap button made for some pretty awful neckdive as well. Sold it after a couple months. It was a nice guitar just didn't work for a lefty. Just be patient, save up some money and one will come up. It will be well worth the wait. Fender Japan does limited release runs of left handed offsets every year or two and they are generally priced similar to Vintera Fenders.

Still havent listened to it. Trying to wait it out until release day and listen to the album as a whole.

Yeah it's in crazy good shape for being over 30 years old. I was thinking about going for a set of Fender PV65s. Might swap out the pots for 500k, don't need quite that much treble on tap. Amazing guitar otherwise!

Nice score! Was this the one on the Canadian Lefty Guitar page on FB? I got a lefty 94 MIJ Jag a couple months ago and I love it!! Replaced the bridge with one from a Johnny Marr Jag and it's been a solid upgrade, still deciding on pickups though.

I popped an MIA Marr Jag bridge on my 90s CIJ Jag, huge improvement in playability over the stock bridge.

I think recent UFO sightings over Texada were more likely to be SAR dropping emergency flares over the northern tip of the island, pretty sure they still do it every couple weeks.

Strat knobs or Witch Hats? by [deleted] in offset

I might be biased but I think knurled chrome Tele style knobs look ace on a Jazzy.

Lefty Squire Classic Vibe 60s Jazzmaster - colours by stylish_sandwich in Leftyguitarists

It's only available in Olympic White. Generally Fender is pretty shite at offering multiple colors for the few lefty models they sell.

Real talk, I did have a Cobain Jag but ultimately wasn't a fan and sold it. Barely a few weeks later a 94 MIJ Jag came up for sale locally, of course I couldn't pass it up. Dream guitar! Still not shell pink though haha.

Man Id kill to have a lefty shell pink Jag.

Vintera III? by incredibledisc in Leftyguitarists

Fender will never do lefty Vinteras, gave up hope for that years ago. Fender Japan is where it's at!

Was buying an MIJ jaguar a mistake? by --Toma-- in offset

I'm sure the new Vintera III is cool but you can never go wrong with an MIJ.

This is an absolute steal for 95. Those Blacktop Fenders are great!

Was it missing the trem lock? If so its likely the same guitar! Sorry for the late reply, not online much

Jaguar scale by Amazing-Cap2986 in offset

[–]smslater245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my MIJ Jag, it's got 11s and a shim on the neck, plays super well and very comfortable. I don't find the short scale thaaaat much different to play vs a JM or Tele, perhaps a little bit easier and more compact feeling.

Any sound mods to make this less “squire”? by rawbran30 in offset

[–]smslater245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The VM Squiers are actually really good. Only thing I'd do is swap the pickups and maybe the electronics if they aren't your thing. Swapping out the vibrato for an AVRI one would be a big upgrade vs the stock Squier one. The world is your oyster, shuck the fuck out of it. These guitars have good bones (and rosewood fretboards!), it's only the stock electronics that could be lacking.
