so apparently while i was locked up fender and squier decided to get b'dass and release a load of fucking crazy awsome guitars. i noticed a few folks on here have or had the squier jaguar. but, honestly are they any good? and has anyone tried out the 50th anniversary jaguar with blocks? and what ...

I'm thinking of picking up a set of these for an ES-355 project I'm working on

+1 but only if the pickup covers are also mint. If you have white or cream covers, a mint guard is going to look awful.

I don't think they look awful, but I agree white or mint covers would look better. I've seen white jag covers but never mint.

EDIT: oh and I'm teetering around the edges of getting a surf green one and I'd definitley do the mint guard - totally inspired by yours.

Thanks!

IMO mint beats white pickguards every time.

Sup honey!

This seems redundant in light of the new Squier Jags, but here's the super duper modified version of this project:

I've got one - they're pretty nice! I wish they were more curvy, but they work great.

Labella 12 flats

worst guitar i've ever seen. fuck that strat jack

Fuck you in the fucking face!!!! :x

Just kidding.

I'm halfway considering doing a refin and filling up the strat jack with wood filler. I wish it weren't there either, but I bought the body for $100, and I had everything else, so instant ...

putting the jaguar trem baseplate on there looks much better . . .


but it looks like it could be moved forward 1/4 inch. Without the plate though, it looks WAY to far back. Looks really nice, though. Did you just use a standard jag pickguard?

Yeah, there was a lot of empty space without the ...

What guitar is to the left of the Jaguar? Looks like an old Airline or Eastwood guitar.

Really nice job. I like that the standard Jag routing is underneath. Massive improvement over the stock configuration.

The red ...

MORE PICS AND INFO OF THIS FELLA IN THE BACKGROUND TOO!

That's an SX Jag bass with a Dano baritone (30") neck on it. It's very rough, doesn't look great close up, but it plays and sounds great. Cheap strat pickups on there and ...

i LOEV the more chrome option..

however still not down with the strat jack.. even though it now looks like a turret tower or something..

but for the price on these plus your mods, still probably not bad at all..

any gut shots of your wiring? how the body is routed?

These guitars come pre ...

put a capo on your guitar. it shortens the scale. does the tone change?

Part of it will be the difference between the nut material and the fret material which becomes like a zero fret with a capo.

But to really get it, take a full scale Fender, tune down to D, then capo the second fret. A/B that ...

Is there a source that sells a variety of short scale bolt-on necks? Especially 24" or even 23"

Those Filtertrons sure cleaned up the sound, it's kind of silvery or glassy compared to the P90s. Much more Fender sounding (if that makes sense for a Gretsch pickup) (no wait, Fender own Gretsch).
Any good sources for Filtertrons? I want to put some in my Sheraton.

Yeah, the P90s sounded a ...

That thing is pure sex

those filtertrons must have cost more than the whole guitar.

No, just half as much as the whole guitar. If I'd bought TV Jones, they'd have cost more than the whole guitar. :lol:


Clips below. The first three are with the Filtertron pickups. There's a couple of clips of the stock guitar below ...
