Hey - tell me about these conchos!!!
Concho freak, too, huh?!
Well, the strap on the Tele is a Franklin Southwest Series 2" gloved leather ($50), but I'm afraid I'm not going to be much help with the brown suede one on the Jazz.. I found that strap on clearance at a local music store that was going out of business (I paid $30 for it) a couple of years ago, and I cut the tag off at that time, as it showed with the strap on, and now I can't remember the brand... And the strap doesn't have a name printed on it. Sorry!
Here are a few more shots of both:
Sorry I couldn't be more help on the brown suede concho one, Surfer! Maybe someone can chime in if they recognize the brand/model.. As I said, the store where I bought it is out of business now..
Yep, me too! Here's another Concho strap I have - I've had this one for about 15 years..
I like it so much that I've had the ends re-tooled a couple of times so it would still fit the strap buttons..
Surfer, I know I saved the tag I cut off that strap - Let me look in my equip. box and see if I can find it. You've got me curious now as to what brand it is as well..
I replaced the bridge on my VMJ 5. I swapped it with a Hipshot FM3 type A bridge. It fits and works well. The stock bridge was fine but I like the aesthetics and accessibility of the Hipshot type A. Its a 4 screw mount and fits in the center of the 6 screw mount without redrilling.
Gentlemen experts of Vintage Modifieds...
Any ideas if the SKB Cases (designed for the J´s and P´s) will fit the VM Jaguar standard, or should I say, will the Jag fit the case?
I have a rigid case (one tha is shaped) and my VM Fretless fits perfectly, but the Jag is too tight for my liking.

The edges of the bridge covers the holes fully, you don't see them at all. I'll try to add a photo later tonight.
Just purchased a VM 5 string deluxe and it's arriving Monday afternoon!! SO I'll post a picture of it so I can get me a number!! Anyway, does anyone on here know what the string pitch is for the Squier VM 5 string?? 17.5mm or 19mm?
Hey everyone I have a Squier fretless Vintage Modified Jazz Bass that I just put in a set of Lindy Fralin Jazz Pickups in hopes that I hoped that would get rid of the buzz that came with the original pups on the bass...but the buzz is still there. Any suggestions ?? Thanks...DAcat 
Thanks Jtapp! I am going to upgrade the bridge along with alot of other things on it. Bridge, pickups, pots, and tuners.
Glad I can be of help in that dept. ...
Found the tag - I knew I had kept it - OK, the strap is a Levy's. Here is the description from Amazon's site: Levy's Leathers Guitar Strap MS26SF-BRN 2½" suede leather guitar strap with suede backing, decorated with four conchos and turquoise-colored Santa Fe beads.
Unfortunately it looks like it is unavailable at the present time. Don't know if they'll have it back in stock or not.. They had a good price on it, too.. I see now that I paid $37.99 for mine...
