So cool to see a video that shows the Jangstang doing something other than the grunge standards. Sounds great as a surf guitar and looks killer. Great video Ryan, secretly waiting for all the hate though.

I’m really loving this recent zeitgeist of “Guitarists re-examining conventional wisdom. “ Over the past 6 months, I’ve learned that I’ve been using the wrong string gauges for the last 20 years, the telecaster is the ideal guitar for heavy metal, and the Jagstang is an excellent surf guitar.

@ska4dragons 2 года назад

What makes a Telecaster good for metal? I've heard they are very versatile and I've heard Rick Beato play "Djent" on one. But what makes them good for metal. I've never owned one. One day I will. But your post piqued my interest.

Hey, sometimes the right gear can inspire you to play more. I just got a new pedal thats got me picking up my guitar 10 or 12 times/day lol. I mean, I already couldn't go more than 12 hours without playing it at least a couple of times but my dang fingers were hurting the other night and that hasn't happened in like 17 months and I've only been playing for maybe 19 months?

@blakehoss6837 2 года назад

I've owned one of these for 17 years, and it's great for surf, shoegaze, Sonic Youthfulness, just covers so much ground. The out of phase setting is so great and really nails that "Pet Sounds" guitar sound, and I mean the song, not the album.

@flapjack413 3 года назад

I like to drop a small nylon ball into the set screw hole before tightening down the tremolo. It eliminates metal on metal contact wear that leads to loosening, holds it in just as well, and makes the swiveling of the arm much smoother. Highly recommend fans of the dynamic vibrato try it out! I'm pretty sure McMaster Carr sells set screws with nylon tips formed right on the screw, but I've got a ton of the little balls, so I haven't ever bothered checking to confirm.

@elliotvernon7971 3 года назад

Mustang trems are great vibratos, especially for surf - the key to setting them up is to screw down the bridge at the cigar tube so nothing moves and then gradually unscrew it until you have proper tension (which is what essentially what you also do with a Strat by adjusting the backplate spring claw).

@samboggs3499 2 года назад

You are correct.

@real_anxst 3 года назад

Proof once again that the best guitar for what you're playing is the one that makes you want to play whatever it is when you pick it up. I honestly feel any guitar with a vibrato system can be a surf guitar if it makes someone want to play surf.

@tylerhurd9569 2 года назад

If u want a bridge hum bucker that sounds very single coil-y, get a Seymour Duncan Jazz bridge. (Not to be confused with the jb) this pickup is an immense sleeper. It’s just fantastic in my sg, and I used to have one in an hss strat and it matched the tonal output and profile fairly well.

I believe heavier gauge strings would help tuning stability. The shorter the scale the heavier the gauge you can use. Because of the difference in tension between scale lengths and string gauge.

@09philj 3 года назад

The Jag-stang being a good surf guitar isn't particularly surprising since it is a Fender, and Fenders have great cleans even if they were made to live in dirt and thrive in filth even if they were made with cleans in mind.

@JulesFrank 2 года назад

The internet has been lying to us all about the mustang vibrato! Those who say it's unstable never had it properly set up. Furthermore, I prefer to use the vibrato WITHOUT the wiggle stick. I always use my palm to work the "cigar" instead. I feel like it let's me express my modulations and pulls & dives more accurately, like is an extension of me, a part of me, almost. Give it a shot! So, contrary to what many may say, the jag-stang and the mustang are MY two go-to's for surf guitar.

Nothing is wrong with grunge, or the stuff that is usually associated with this guitar ... But I am wondering that because of the platform it is built on (24" scale , 7.25 " radius neck, relatively narrow nut) Tha after years of looking & buying ... This is the PLATFORM that fits me best. I'm tempted to buy a 2d one, and put G&L Jumbo MFD's in it. (Or P90's if I did not have so many P90 platforms) I'm thinking that guitars may be ultimately more versatile, that our narrow minds will allow Recall Leo Fender made the Strat (and Tele) for his chicken -picking country playing buds ...

You love that vibrato now. Change them strings. Then you fast find yourself in what I call "mustang spring hell". The springs can easily fall off their posts, but they're not accessible without taking off entire bridge plate. One will slip, or both and they'll just rattle around in the guitar. You'll have to unscrew it set it, then hope to god you don't jar it too much to slip again while you not only rescrew the screws but restring it. You wont even know if they'll slip until you've fully reassembled it and restrung it and pick it up. You'll either immediately hear the spring fall off when you do, or just hope to god it didn't somehow fall and you didn't hear it. And then you continue your life after that always wondering are those bastards still there? How will I know? I'll have to open up and when I do, they ARE! But you know what? Checking them made them fall AGAIN
