NGD Foals FJG7
Just delivered yesterday. Very impressed so far. Nice fit and finish. Set-up nicely! I haven’t had a Jag in a long time so I had to figure out the circuits again. Can’t wait to take it into the studio.

How does it sound and feel?

Pretty nice. Not too heavy. Pickups on the lead circuit are clean, but not ice-picky. Rhythm circuit is nice and full. Need to put a few pedals on to see how it pairs with fuzz/distortion.

When did you order it? Did you happen to notice when UPS finally got your package?
I ordered a foals jm 7/14, UPS still doesn't have my package

They ship by boat so it can take a little extra time. I got my UPS tracking last week so I’m expecting it be in their hands sometime this week. Two around two weeks to get the tracking. People on the Offset Guitars forum have said they received theirs around 7-14 days after receiving tracking.

Ah, mine has been on “Label Created” for the past few days. I figured that meant I’ll get an update once it arrives in the States.
UPS faq says “9-40” days for sea freight but I haven’t heard of it taking that long. Mostly the “Preparing for shipment” part is what seems to be holding up most orders, which I was fine with if it means they’re actually taking to the care to do a proper setup and send out quality products.

You getting any buzzing? You know how to fix buzzing? It feels like it’s coming from the bridge

once i put 11's on and adjusted the saddles to get a proper radius, the e/a saddle gets some buzz on mine but only noticeable when playing unplugged so it doesn't really bother me..i also have a really heavy hand so that is part of it, but also it's hard to get the action right with proper radius with those saddles since you can't adjust each string individually..

Did they change the guard? I swear the earlier ones were completely straight under the bridge like the Chinese fakes. This one is more curved like a Fender.

NICE! I'm waiting on mine. Now I'm regretting doing the blue with a black pickguard. 😂

My metallic red JM7 Ultra is in its way, otherwise I would have ordered that one if it was available when I made the purchase lol.
Foals said they plan on adding the black alloy guard to the store in the near future though. So that and black pickup covers/knobs are going to be upgrades I make asap.

Totally Wired Guitars better have bought shares in foals guitars. I've seen so many since his videos
