blackTelecaster « "Wild Thing!" »
Published on 09/02/12 at 14:18Hard at first to try to describe my "wild thing" ...
But just as my Mosrite, I will try to share the great pleasure of owning and especially such a practice instrument.
I have long sought to acquire a Fender Jaguar before finding "Wild" ..
The lady is a sunburst of March '64 completely original except for the bridge that I replaced but I'll ...
Unlike the simplistic image that we have, I think the Jaguar is a guitar of extreme versatility with a unique character .. She is comfortable in almost every style of music and is almost immediately recognizable ..
I played with her rock, post rock, blues, African music, song quite happily ... This is one of the guitars (I own a dozen) that m ' inspires more creatively speaking and makes me new ways to borrow music or sound ...
Technically, the guitar, short scale requires, quite confusing if you just tuning forks longer ... A few days later, we can not live without!
The handle is quite round and shapely, slightly easier approach but grows to become one with the instrument.
This is also the thickest handle my family.
It is the opposite of my Mosrite Combo who play the "hands down" ...
With "Wild" you have to be constantly on the alert, which promotes research sound and music helps me to get out of my "plans" ..
Sounds that we draw are, thanks to the specifics of the Jaguar, incicifs, nervous and sharp with serious present and well defined highs and formidable ever, but then never garish or intrusive .. It is these latest frequencies (as well as its high mids) that I love the most about "Wild" ...
The low cut filter is great for a little more color palette ..
. For cons, I do not use never Circuit above (but I regret my Jazzmaster for this) except formidable kill switch ..
Now to only flaw inherent to Fender Offsets: The bridge ...
Jump ropes, buzz and "ploings" of all kinds, sagging bridge, bridges crumbling ... We all know the adventures of offseteux!
After many trials and attempts to resolve it properly (buzzstop, mustang bridge, graph tech ..) I decided to spend all my Jazzmaster and Jaguar Grand Mastery bridge ... took me well!
Comfort and increased stability with little change in tone (even if a bit less twangy .. actually).
Vintage or not, considering all the benefits (especially live) that provides mastery bridge despite its price, the switch is automatic on my Offsets ...
What about the magic of tremolo ...
This floating tremolo is for me the best Fender is designed ...
Ancun Disagree, and a setting of easier .. In addition to being a real creative tool!
In short, the best design témolos vintage (Fender / Bigsby / Moseley ..)
Discourse on "Wild 'could still take me hours ...
I urge every guitarist can afford to offer a Fender Jaguar it is vintage, reissue or other ...
Because it is an instrument that challenges us, makes us sometimes (especially to stabilize the setting) pissed we bite the eardrums than us .... but we make it a hundredfold ...
As his best friend.
