J&D Jack and Danny Brothers JD-JM10 SKGR

Brandnew Fender Jaguar style of guitar made in China.
Unofficial name seems to be Djunglemaster
Very retro, painted in mintgreen or "surfergreen" with creamy simulated aged plastic parts

Body: Solid alder Neck: Maple Freetboard: Tinted maple/22frets 25.5` flat D-shape medium thick

Stratstyle tremolobridge and one oldstyle barr?? type of stringlocker
and locking tuners.

S/S/S stratocasterstyle but the pickups are of a unusal kind that i have never came to see in real, only in pictures of older premium instruments, the polls are slightly rised in position D and G, a very nice tutch on a massproduced budget guitar and it seems to work to.

I??m a oldstyler who goes for the bare sound before the looks.
And there are some but fiew reviews out there on this bird and those guys didn??t lye.
Alder and mapel well put together shoud give a good basic sound and so it truly is.

Unplugged the sound is clear like a steelacustic but more shimmery and one can feel the resonanse vibrate thru the body.

Plugged, yes this one is not like the rest where you find all those strat combinations but they all sounds utterly like or just plain wierd.
This bird actually delivers a great spectrum, stong picups and the tone knob ain??t there yust for the looks, you realy like to work it!

All and all i would say that this bird sounds like a good slightly modified Telecaster.

I dislike the chinaman tremolo (zinkblock) and those retro strapbuttons who seems to bee more of a eyecandy than truly efficient.

Well, for 99EUR/124USD made in China I naturaly expected more than vorse. Neckwarp, poorly dressed and loose freets, flaws, dents and scratches, I know it all... but no sir!

The stringhight is set low and that`s onest, because in otherwise one can expect nasty suprises that day one decides too lower that ultra high aktion.

The saddles are ok for a starter but shurely they need some fine tuning on the way.

I have another china nobrand sunburststrat for no money at all and the lockingtuners seems to be exactly the same but there are a huge diffrens in tolerans, in this bird they are exact, tight and holding the tune, funny guys those chinese or very smart, I yust can`t get it....

The freets are well cut no more or less, on a prizier brand they are sanded silksmoth but again look at the money..Jeeesus my genuin US Sharvel/Jacksson fatstrat was all over in a vorse condition in those days USmade was regarded as absolute gold.

Yeahh she will do a stage with a better tremolo and a pair of bigger strapbuttons, this mods I??ll do myself, cheap fun.

Thick coated with clear hardlaquer and paint that will take dekades to worn down.

The pickups are of an unusal type with hightened polls. I first suspected them to be only simple and plain eyecandy, but suprisingly they deliver strongly and with a versatility ecual too mutch more prizier brands.

The weakest point will be in inside, I haven`t opened her yet but I`ll expect very bad soldering because thats the case with my other chinamans.

With the chinamen you don??t relay on warranties!
Do it yourself our put out mutch more money on the table.

For 20 years and my first guitar was a odd and utterly wrong looking japanese telecasterclone with a few inovations people didn`t grip in does days, only some musicians did and they have comitted later that they often prefered that japanese bastard in studio recordings. I know days this bastard in a mintcondition is worth a lot of money, stupid me, messed her up totaly and then tossed her in a carbagebin.

I??ll think this odd, selsome one from JD will bee a secret sneaker too, cheap, well built, only a few will recognize it`s potential.

The chinese are comming but one have too sort out the pearls from the loggs and the loggs are as with all clones ever built, in superority.

This one is a pearl with pearlgreen abalone dots in a decent all hardmaple neck, cheap art, but great art, man.
