Hey,
I got my new leftie sonic blue mustang from Ishibashi yesterday, hurrah!
It's lovely so far, feels a lot smaller and lighter than my Jaguar, in all respects, which is what I wanted as I loved my Jag but it was too much for my small feminine hands heh. The blue is a bit too bright for me, would've preferred the jagstang blue (dolphine? daphne? i dunno) which is lighter, but as a leftie one's options are limited heh.
Two issues have arisen though, firstly the chrome tele knobs I ordered were too big, diameter wise, to fit. At first I was like eurgh, but then with a bit of masking tape around the knobs on the guitar I managed to fit the knobs on and they work fine, at least for now, w/hard stops etc. I'm not a big massager of the knobs mid song so should be fine for me, I also read some tape can help with potential hum so it's not a big deal at the moment.
Secondly, I think Ishibashi sent me the wrong tremolo arm, they sent a right handed arm. Can someone confirm this for me please (sold my Jag a month ago so have forgotten how it was heh).
The arm, when in place, angles away from the guitar body. I.E. it doesn't go down and across, laying parallel to the guitar, it goes up and out so it's a good 4 inches above the body, making it difficult to hold and play. I think this is a rightie bar b/c when I turn it round, i.e. so it's facing backwards, it sits nice and low to the body, i.e. when it's rightie orientated.
Can someone confirm this please so I can get onto Ishibashi for a correct one.
Cheers!
