	Telecaster Guitar Forum > The DIY Channel > Tele Home Depot > not a telecaster build (jaguar) PDA not a telecaster build (jaguar) Seal_broken November 6th, 2009, 02:31 AM this is the plan so far: Body and headstock fiesta red White pickguard Pickups ??? Jaguar Vibrato Pickup control set for neck, bridge and phase Mustang Bridge 2nd Circuit control ; varitone Lead Circuit set normal other mods i should keep in mind? this is somewhat of slow build since I have school and work, plus my money priority goes to no being homeless. I Order a mint color pickguard and i made my mind on the rhythm circuit, i'm putting in a varitone with a added wet/dry pot http://10.161.174.201/alexplorer.net/guitar/projects/varitone-jazz-box.jpg The neck has been stripped of all paint and lacquer. I have refill the wholes with wooden tooth picks since it has been drill a few times for diferent tuners http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/6992/20091105111051.jpg http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2618/20091105111035.jpg does anyone have a better way to stain the neck to that nice golden fender color? I have plates, pickguard, neck, lead circuit electronics need bridge, tail piece, body, pickups, varitone, paint hwestman November 6th, 2009, 07:18 AM What kind of neck are you using? With the risk of stating the obvious: You are aware of the fact that Jags in their standard form use a 24' scale as opposed to the 25 1/2' scale used for strats, teles, JMs etc? The reason I ask is that the neck looks like it came from something else than a jag... Good luck! I am a big fan of jags and will follow your thread with great interest! Harald hwestman November 6th, 2009, 07:21 AM ...and another thing: why not use the third switch for series/parallell pickup selection instead of phase. IMHO out of phase sound have very little value, especially when you start out with a guitar as trebly as a jag...but that's just my personal opinion... Seal_broken November 6th, 2009, 10:26 AM I do know about the neck, I used to have a mustang and love the shortcale neck, this is a jagmaster 24' neck. about the switch I was thinking that yesterday, i am now thinking of getting a custom made plate that would hold just 1 mustang 3way switch instead of the 3 usually found on a jaguar.... but no idea who would do that kind of job loog November 7th, 2009, 08:43 AM will be interesting to follow hwestman November 16th, 2009, 08:51 AM I do know about the neck, I used to have a mustang and love the shortcale neck, this is a jagmaster 24' neck. about the switch I was thinking that yesterday, i am now thinking of getting a custom made plate that would hold just 1 mustang 3way switch instead of the 3 usually found on a jaguar.... but no idea who would do that kind of job There are people making this kind and other kinds of plates as well.
