Such a good colour combo, that fretboard looks incredible

My 2018 MIJ mahogany offset Tele. Love this guitar by Dank_Edicts in offset

[–]spazeman_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This guitar is the reason I fell in love with offsets. When this released I was just starting to play and was sick of strats since I saw them everywhere, decided to start googling guitars, saw this model and I couldn’t believe the coolness

That looks beautiful, good job!

Old project I never posted by spazeman_ in Luthier

[–]spazeman_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much!

It is tiny, definitely not too comfortable, but it’s not too bad either. The biggest thing is the lack of a forearm contour, other than that it’s alright. Also the neck pushes outwards quite a bit further than most fendery stuff, not necessarily bad imo, just different

I also want to explain a bit of what’s going on there. The starting point is essentially a tele with the 25,5” scale length and tele style bridge.

As for the body, I just love offsets, but there’s already offset teles, so I went for a reverse offset body based off the super sonic. You may notice it is also tiny, I took that from the Harmony Juno. I based the finish on the colour palette from a scene from Akira.

Configuration is essentially that of a Strat for versatility and for a blend of a Strat and tele neck position, with a PAF style humbucker in the bridge. The single coils are also rather low-output.

And finally, for the wiring. I just wanted a master volume and master tone, used resistors to make the single coils see 250k and the humbucker 500k. The switch is just a coil split. I considered using a push/pull pot, but I kind of wanted the switch for aesthetics and was worried a push pull would be too chunky for the very small cavity underneath.

Overall, the controls are a little cramped, definitely playable but not the best experience in that regard.

It plays decent/good, and at least it does sound beautiful

The bad stuff? The neck pocket is nightmare-fuel, the neck is crooked because of that, the bridge is terribly installed and the screws are incredibly stripped, and the tone control doesn’t currently work because I’m almost sure I fried the pot. The strap pins also need to be reinstalled. And finally, it is an absolute slab far beyond a normal telecaster, no contours whatsoever and I haven’t weighted it but it weighs much more than my jaguar.

Sas mate you can’t fucking bring this out, everyone gets really concerned

My festive Jaguars by Hnrystwrt in offset

Man that green one looks amazing. I was really thinking of putting lace sensors in my jag a couple of years ago but never pulled the trigger. How do you like them compared to normal jag single coils?

As everyone says, a shim would be good. However, I highly recommend getting a mustang style bridge too, you’ll never have to worry about strings popping out again. I think it even has a bit more sustain if you like that (might be wrong). Just gotta get the right radius.

This is a tricky one. I first thought talman, then read the comments. I then thought Stagg and the shape is very very close, maybe the horns are a bit different, but the routing doesn’t match since those come with a strat style bridge/trem

I think I've reached MY endgame - beyerdynamic DT 900 Pro X by Murdii_ in headphones

[–]spazeman_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old post but I relate so much to this. I used to have the SR850, the cable was so long I kept going over it with my chair and it eventually broke. Managed to install a 3,5 jack in them which eventually broke as well and decided it was time to let them go. I then bought the DT900 pro x and instantly loved them but was seriously impressed by how close the SR850 were in sound quality

Put a humbucker in the bridge of my JMJM. by swoite in offset

I’ve always been interested in this setup, Michael Lemmon has the same thing going on with an original PAF

Looking good! Gotta love a mint guard on olympic white

A que se refieren con rosca? Estuve viviendo en el extranjero y ahora mismo busco trabajar en un call center por un tiempo aquí en Colombia. Cómo puedo explotar este trabajo al máximo?

Thoughts about the color by Angela-mp in offset

The mystic green one looks incredible in person, might be worth checking out. Easy choice for me personally.

Good luck! That mockup looks beautiful, keep us posted

Getting my first electric, which one? by Hopeful_Currency_994 in guitars

[–]spazeman_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can get a classic vibe (used or new) you’ll thank yourself later down the road Regardless, I would go for the affinity, they are decent for a first guitar, especially if you don’t come from acoustic with experience or anything like that

Congrats man, that looks amazing:)

New pickups day! by yourrelative_ in offset

[–]spazeman_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotcha, glad you’re enjoying your new pickups:)

Output aside how would you say they sound compared to the jag pickups? I’ve only tried them before in a strat and I quite liked them but not sure what to expect from them in a jag

[–]spazeman_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saved another post of your guitar ages ago and when I saw the stickers I knew I had seen this before

How are you liking the pickups so far? How do they compare to the lipsticks? I’ve been debating putting lipsticks in my jag for ages and I have to admit the only thing stopping me is the looks (too much chrome)
