  • Model 2 Followup

    Okay, it's been two weeks since I brought my Model 2 home from the pawn shop. Here's a followup report:

    1. After polishing the frets and a slight truss rod adjustment, the neck gets an A.

    2. The JT-6 bridge gets a C. The design is excellent (it feels better on the palm than a real Floyd), but the build quality is a bit poor. I like the way the strings lock in at the nut, also.

    3. The pickup (J90, I think??) gets (surprise!) an A. Nice, even sound, good harmonics. Thanks to AimingHigh for the suggestion that I remove the pickup cover. It really made a difference.

    Overall - B+.

      I bought mine in 87 and I can't ever imagine selling it.

      That lil J90C is a screamer alright! [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

        <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yep. I've heard bad reports on it, but my experience has been quite different so far.
