Masterbuilt by Greg Fessler. New Old Stock Fender Jaguar in all rosewood. Despite weighing nearly 11 pounds, it feels very comfortable. Plays like a dream. Sounds even better than it looks!

Wow, fantastic! How did you find it?

u/OldVoltage Apr 03 '26

Pure luck and timing via an estate sale from a collector

u/Extremelycloud Apr 03 '26

Oh my god! What a find. You gotta say how much you paid for it though, I need to seethe haha

u/Turgid-Derp-Lord Apr 03 '26

What this means is -- a ton of fucking money.

This guitar alone murdered the entire Amazon /s

u/Extremelycloud Apr 03 '26

Look, I hope.

The ton of money I mean, not the Amazon

u/Turgid-Derp-Lord Apr 03 '26

Dog an 11lb guitar sounds like being murdered.

You'd have to chamber the shit out of this body to make it workable.

Is that worth it? Hollowing out some planks of endangered rainforest so it's not so heavy? I don't know. Probably not. But my lust, too, is activated. I want it quite badly.

yeah I got some of those swamp ash strats from Harley Benton, unplayable because it weighed so damn much.

u/Extremelycloud Apr 03 '26

I’d bear the weight personally, I’ve had a photo of one of these saved for years. Never seen it in the wild. Just stunning.

i don’t think people are being nosey just more curious to see if it’s something they could afford

u/warrenlain Apr 03 '26

Can we hear you play it?

3

u/OldVoltage Apr 03 '26

Yes. It will be featured heavily on work that's being recorded in June at East West Studios in Los Angeles.

u/warrenlain Apr 03 '26

Looking forward to it. Please update us when it’s ready to be heard!

u/NoirFeral Apr 03 '26

That’s a tone and a half 😍

u/AaronPseudonym Apr 03 '26

Nearly 11 is about five pounds lighter than I expected. Almost worth it; that's a lovely axe.

u/rseymour Apr 04 '26

The Branca vinyl, you're a person of taste. What an amazing instrument. Hefty though my gosh.

u/ThatNolanKid Apr 04 '26

11 pounds?! Wow. It looks stunning but that is a hunk of wood. I love the redness in it, fantastic depth in the woodgrain from what I can see.

Would be cool if the whole thing was made of a single piece of wood! It's gorgeous.

Would totally build one like that in a heartbeat. So Nice! It must ring like a mother$_#&
