I have been wondering for a while now exactly how many Jazzmasters/Jaguars/Mustangs/other are present here considering how much love we give them. So yeah, answer the poll and discuss and, for extra credit, you can post pics!
THE RESUlTS
since this thread seems to have been reactivated, I'll move the final results (now outdated) to the OP and start a new one
Results time! (all of these are very rough estimates)


total: roughly 140

average per person (of poll participants): 3

percentage bought: %86

percentage built: %14

percentage of us that are very immature: %15

percentage of us that are haters: %3


thanks for playing!

Played and owned a strat for a majority of my playing years then got a couple offsets and never looked back.

Here are a couple of offset offsets

They feel comfortable to me, slightly more so than the japanese strat I used to have, but sometimes it bugs me that it feels like a lot of the guitar is sticking out behind you.

Here's my trio of offsets. First, cribbed from the "Let's See Your Guitar" thread...
