Re: Japanese made messed-up production
He's saying that their CNC machines made the exact same holes in each guitar on the production line, meaning high precision but happened to be in not quite the right place. As if to say they messed up things like super accurate bridge installation for superior intonation but messed it up equally for each guitar. It's like 'wow you completely missed the mark but you missed it by the same amount each time. Congratulations!

Re: Japanese made messed-up production
As a long-time Jackson /Charvel collector and historian, I see a few things that are, the way I currently understand them, flat out false in the OP.
However, like most others, I really do not understand the gist of the argument that is being made, therefore I will reserve any posts until such a time as the subject matter is clarified and I understand what the problem is....

The problem is that nobody knows what the problem is.

It is, but I was making a reference to the Wikipedia page he links to. It explains the difference between precision and accuracy by using a target-shooting analogy, with the familiar red & white target graphic and some bullet hole groupings.

Re: Japanese made messed-up production
Sorry for that. I was looking for very specific things by stepping in the fire myself. I knew what would happen in every other sense, I have been lurking around here for quite a while now. This is a good forum.
Nice pictures, hehe.

I somehow get the feeling that heavy doses of alcohol are involved.

Re: Japanese made messed-up production
I know some are going to be hold-outs, but I and some others find it offensive. It's like calling Germans "Krauts" or "Huns". There are other music-related forums on the net where, if you use it, someone will be on you with both feet in just a few posts. It's an unnecessary slight that can be avoided with an extra second of typing, but do what you want.

Re: Japanese made messed-up production
I hear what you are saying, but it's actually very much NOT like calling a German a "kraut"...which is a slight based on their heritage.
"Jap", is short for Japanese. Just like "Brit" is short for "british", or "Aussie" is short for Australian, etc.
"Nip" seems even more offensive to some, but again is just a shortening of Nippon (,Isle of- i.e. Japan)
I don't get the "racist" offensive thing with those two terms (Jap, Nip), but no doubt some people are PC sensitive about it.

Re: Japanese made messed-up production
It has everything to do with WWII and the connotations that those words -- like Kraut, Hun, Nip, Jap -- carried throughout and long after that war. Many Americans (my grandparents and parents included) never stopped thinking of Japanese people as the enemy, and every time they used that word, you could hear how loaded it was with political and racial baggage. "Jap" is especially unpleasant to some because it sounds like an abbreviation for something else -- an abbreviation that is not permitted on this forum.
It's very easy to be reactionary to this stuff, to say it's a bunch of politically-correct nonsense, but I think it's really as simple as giving a damn about other people's feelings.

Re: Japanese made messed-up production
I dont use the terms out of respect, my point is there is absolutely NO logic behind it.Its all sentimental BS.
I certainly hope we can all stop using the terms Brit, Pol, Aussie, etc too...they were all involved in WW2 as well, and thus should garner the same respect, no?
