Used offset guitars
Bodies with the waist set off-center. Fender's Jazzmaster arrived in 1958 for seated jazz players, then the short-scale Jaguar and the student Mustang, and surf bands and later indie players made them their own. Mosrite's Ventures model and the cheaper Mark V turned the shape around. Stage-played offsets often have changed bridges and vibratos, so check what's original.
