The original shortscale guitars; Mustangs, Duo-Sonics, Musicmasters, Jaguars, Broncos, Jag-stang, Jagmaster, Super-Sonic, Cyclone, and Toronados.

How worn are the frets? Sometimes, worn frets will still play well and not buzz. You just have to set it up and find out.
They're very worn. I'm going to try to get it playing nicely without refretting it. I won't have them done unless absolutely necessary.

What did u use to rub the sticker remnants off? Rubbing alcohol?
I used Goo Gone. I also used it to remove the old decal on my AVRI Jazzmaster, it seems to be nitro friendly.

Awesome, it's teh thundarjagz.
Jaga (Earl Hammond) — Known as “Jaga the Wise�, based on the jaguar, this elder warrior was once regarded as the greatest of all ThunderCats. An adviser and protector of the Lord’s family, it was Jaga who gathered the nobles of the ThunderCats to escort Lion-O and the Eye of Thundera to safety, but in his aged condition, he did not survive the trip to Third Earth.
However, Jaga does reappear on Third Earth as a spirit — seen only by Lion-O at first, to guide him in his lessons and adventures. At times, he appears before the other ThunderCats as well, such as when facing down Grune the Destroyer, and when the ThunderCats need to rescue their fellow Thunderians.
When he was alive, Jaga also wielded the Sword of Omens and was a formidable fighter in combat.

It looks way better without the stickers.

You did a good job there. Get the Thundercats one off aswell.

astro wrote:All the pawn shops up here seriously suck when it comes to guitar stuff. They all seem to think that their guitars are somehow worth more than what reality has to offer. I often see $500 squiers, $800 MIM standard strats and teles. The other day I saw a pawn shop with some of those ultra-cheap plastic Danelectro pedals and they wanted $150 a piece. And its no use to try and negotiate. I have no idea what some of these dudes are smoking.
Yeah, that's like Cash Converters round my way, they pretend to be pawn shops but they're actually trying to sell cheap new junk like Nevada brand guitars for £60.
