    Anderson Raven.

    An offset with a sensible trem that stays in tune, fat pickups, jumbo frets and a great playing neck.
    This is my one.


    Set up properly, the Jazzmaster / Jag vibrato is really solid tuning-wise. 
    I agree, but I haven't touched the Anderson trem since I got it.
    And I haven't really adjusted my Anderson Strat's trem since I bought it in 2011.

    There is something about being low/no maintenance that appeals to me.

    That said, this sounds like an excellent excuse to see the @WezV Firebird I again.

    Nah, that’s great.

    Its a great guitar and I’m glad Jef ended up with it. I wish I hadn’t sold it... after designing and building the damn thing!!

    Another vote for Novo. They are superb instruments. 



    Also love my BilT Relevator LS which is a more traditional take on a Jazzmaster in terms of pickups and switching.

    I've never had to adjust the vibrato system on any offset I have owned. 
    They are completely hassle free. 
    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    Same here. I literally haven't adjusted mine once in the 2 years since I put it together.

    Neither of these are offset, I'm afraid.

    Jazzmasters are cool, and I really like my AVRI, but they're super ubiquitous these days.

    So my favourite offset is the Musima Elgita.

    I like Fender Mustangs, not revolutionary, sort of mini-strat but I like them.    This is a stock photo but mine is exactly this.

    ??? A Firebird is an offset guitar. It is asymmetrical in design.
