I lived in Canada for a year in 2002, and it was 2.5 $CAN to 1 GBP. Amazing.
Personally I'd try to find a NOS or never used s/h vintage modified. Mainly because I'm not a fan of the blocks and binding. One thing to consider with buying a s/h vintage modified is that a load of people bought them when they first came out, and probably never played them because of bridge, tone, setup etc. So there's probably some minters kicking about that have never been played. I think it's prob worth keeping an eye out on FB.

Marketplace is good for deals. Seen a couple VM’s under or just over £200 on the cash converters website aswell.

Thanks for all the info chaps. Between this thread and Doug's jazzmaster thread i decided to try the CV jag and a jazzmaster, Both guitars were good but I decided I really didn't need the high pass switch on the Jag which then lead me to thinking I'd be better off with the 3 way selector switch on the Jazzmaster rather than the on off switches on the Jag... I did buy a set of 11s so I can string it up to the lemons when I set it up over the weekend.

Congrats! Having favoured Jags for many many years, this year I've totally fallen for Jazzmasters, so good call!

I remember reading a Glassdoor page for the Epiphone Inspection position at the Gibson factories in TN... apparently most of their job is scraping rust and mold off the strings after they’re shipped over by sea.
I use that gorgomyte to clean my fretboards/polish my frets and that’s really lousy for black mess too, whatever kind of reaction it has with the frets to shine them up seems to really open the floodgates. I’ve started cleaning the fretboards after, erm, cleaning them.

Yeah that looks really nice. Better burst and tort than the VM ones.

Well after a night of playing the Jazzmaster I'm so glad I started this thread. I know it was about Jags and not Jazzmasters but after watching Hurbs video I decided I,'d probably like the rhythm circuit (that most people seemed to say was useless) so probably the player series wasn't for me - how right this turned out to be I've pretty much been on the rhythm circuit all night - like I said in an earlier post I'm a neck pickup guy... thanks again guys.

That looks great, Dez - congrats. I know everyone, including me, goes on about all the nice custom colours but there's something super smart about a sunburst Jazzmaster or Jaguar.
Totally with you on the rhythm circuit too (and the neck pickup preference). My Jaguar's rhythm circuit sounds heavenly through a fuzz pedal. Seem to recall someone (Benecol?) saying the same about their Jazzmaster.

Rhythm circuit on a Jazzmaster is where I used to find my Keef Richards tonz.
Ironically I ended up with a Jaguar because I was missing my Jazzy.
