not a telecaster build (jaguar)

[Seal_broken]

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


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




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

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!

...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...

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

will be interesting to follow

There are people making this kind and other kinds of plates as well. Bo browse www.offsetguitars.com and/or www.shortscale.org and you'll find 'em...
