Hey all,

Currently own a Fender Classic Player Jazzmaster. LOve the guitar, but the neck is something I would like to change. Does anyone know of any different necks that would fit onto this guitar? maybe some sort of stratocaster neck? would love something with larger frets and less of a finish.

(But all three guitars sound freakin awesome, just not very strat-like)

I play a Jazzmaster and have played many Jazzmasters, and they sound absolutely nothing like a Strat. The Jaguar does sound a bit more Strat-y, but out of the three, the Mustang sounds the most like a Strat. I used to own a mustang as well. The Mustang bridges are a pain in the butt to mess with, but they're cool guitars.

Hello Equipboard-folk,

I'm new to this as of about 7 hours ago. This summer I landed a gig as a lead guitarist in a contemporary country band for a brief tour (about 3 weeks long.) I'm not a contemporary country man myself, and I know very little about modern-day country music. Do you folks know any pedal(s) that may help give me a more country-esque bite to my tone? The guitar I'm playing is an Epiphone ES-339 P90 PRO, and the amp is a Fender Hotrod Deluxe. I imagine these will suit me fine for this tour, and I have no intentions of swapping them out for anything else. I've really been looking into the equipment used by the more countryish bands that I love, such as Drive-By Truckers and Wilco, but their gear is nothing alike. Any pointers? Specifically in boost pedals, echoes, delays and lighter overdrives?

Thanks in advanced!
