hey i just bought a 62 jap reissue jag and im already having a few problems, i mean, what the fuck is the deal with the unfixed bridge? it is crap and even with moderate playing the strings come out of place into the little grooves on the bridge making it out of tune. the pickups seem to buzz and squeel a fucking lot. the whammy bar is USELESS, and there is virtually no sustain at all. i am pretty dissapointed because ive wanted this guitar for ages and now that ive got it im pretty sure this will need some definate mods to make it useable. ive tamed the controlls which are pretty complicated but easy once you know how, and now that i do this is a really versatile guitar and the sexiest looking innanimate object anyones likely to see (i think you would agree). ive been told a mustang bridge would sort out most of this but does anyone have any suggestions about replacement pickups because the stock ones are crap. i would also appreciate help on the general setup of the thing. any other help would be great. i really hope to sort this out because it will be an amazing guitar if i could get it right.
