Nik said: Yeah it was definitly padded on the bottom. Because of the odd shape of it, in order to keep it upright all of the pressure is put onto that one area. But still for it to crack like that... I'll post pics of it and the stand later so you can get an idea.
I don't have much explanation for it. I know my Jaguar special seems to have a much thicker clear coat than on the JS. The JS seems just to be paint with the thinnest if any clear top coat.
I might buy another mint condition one and use this one as my main guitar and sell the Jag. Or sell the cracked one.
Exactly.
The shape of the Jag-stang is terrible for putting it on a stand.
To remedy this, I just bought some Hercules wall hangers too.
Haha.
The paint is all chipped to hades and back on the JS already, though, because it's a Fender 50th anniversary edition that I bought used. I think it's a '96, but I don't really remember.
I'll have to look at the serial number when I get home from school today.
