i used to build pedals for dwarfcraft a couple years ago, planned a prototype guitar, but it never came thru, too many problems, made a few weird models branded dwarfract tho, glad you enjoyed it.
ive never had a problem with any of my jap jags, tho, like i said, my avri jaguar was much smoother, and in reality it was only 300 bucks more than what i usually paid for my jap jags, usually i could score a jap jag for about 500-600, and my avri in OTC was 900, with the case and all the case candy, i regret selling it, but i had to sell it for vet bills, the dog was more important.
