Witz Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I really want a Fender but I don't know if I want a Jag or a Strat sigh #firstworldguitaristproblems Got to be a strat, I always think jags look like a melted chocolate that someone tried to save by sticking it in the fridge only to end up with a slightly deformed final shape...

james90 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Brilliant Witz, have you seen the gibson RD shape? And I'd get a strat. Not a massive fan of the shorter scale that jaguars have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't seen one until now Looks like someone based its shape on lava lamp, either that or they were trying to draw an explorer but had misplaced their ruler Sometimes I wonder what goes on at Gibson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Do they get a lot of people tweeting about cables or something? Damn, should have bought Mansons ones while they still made them. I think they still have some 10' ones left. The lava cables seem really similar. Expensive though. Not sure, but what happened was Olly (I think this happened to Dom as well?) tweeted and posted here that their planet waves cable broke. Not a complaint tweeted AT planet waves, but just a standard "someone recommend me a new cable, my planet waves one is dead" sort of thing. Planet waves 'reached out' after stalking him on the board and twitter, and offered to make it right. It was all a bit awkward. Good customer service I guess? I think there are a few cables that have lifetime warranties anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are a few cables that have lifetime warranties anyway. Sounds kind of weird haha. But yeah pretty good customer service. I think these ones might have the lifetime guarantee thing, need to check that. I have the fender custom ones out whatever they are called and they seem to last a loooonnnggg time The California ones? I used to have one but lost it somehow I fear for your country James. You should just give up on them, come and live here, in Devon. We have Nandos. Edit: Or Yorkshire. Men of the north etc.. Or a bit further north for nandos and irn bru but you can get it pretty much anywhere in the UK That's a good point, I wonder if Trump has ever f***ked a pig?

Had to drink the entire thing before leaving the UK though, because it's apparently illegal here And yeah, apparently it's not too difficult to replace cables if they go bad. I recall someone on here (he was in the U.S. though) would just walk into guitar center and swap them when he needed to replace them. His wife has.
