    I had my Jag modified putting the two jag pickups joined together touching each other as two bridge pickups, they can be engaged separetly or toghether in series or in paralel. In series they produce a nice humbucker tone and it's a great addition to the palete. This second bridge pickup which is only an inch towards the neck has a great fatter sound, it could be considered a mid pickup but with the balls of a bridge pickup.

Took out the rhythm circuit (left the plate in for looks). Put a P90 in the bridge too. Such a fun guitar model to mess around with and play. C'mon folks, get a Jag of your own!

    If it was mine I’d do the telecaster 5 way switch mod, the extra 2 positions being both pickups being wired in parallel (or series if they’re wired parallel stock)and the other with some kind of capacitor to replicate the strangle circuit, or maybe both pickups out of phase, that way it still looks stock.

    Pau Ferro done right is beautiful. Had some before CITIES and it was like ebony in feel. Fender just didn't spend the time on them and they were dry and rough on the Mexico stuff. So everyone remembers Pau Ferro as rough, but orange streaks and dry. Which isn't true. Plus the benefit was that it wasn't an endangered/overharvested species of tree.

    See, I was never a fan of the switching, and am not a trem user at all, but have gotten along really well with jaguar necks and bodies if not even utilized to their full potential. So, while I would prefer both a hardtail and a string through, making this basically just a Tele sans the trem, the jaguar is the most intriguing to me in the series in terms of having Alnico 5 and 2 single coils, but ultimately I’m not sure if it’s the most attractive buy in the series or if any of them are really necessary. Rolled fingerboard edge will certainly be appreciated but don’t justify the price at all.

    @60 Cycle Hum... Could you fit two Jaguar pickups (with claws) next to each other in those routes? Could be interesting if you wired them in humbucker style fashion or whatever. Similar to the original Dipinto Galaxie 4s? Also... if you go mint guard but keep the single could Jag pickups, I'd probably change from the aged/parchment color they are to something else. Might look funky against the mint. As it is I kinda don't even like how they are yellow to the body's pure white.

Maybe the strangle switch could be added on the upper bout as a nod to visual nostalgia, without compromising the playing simplicity that has obviously been a design goal here.

    Your 巨大リス (giant squirrel) tee looks cool. btw, the Jaguar without preset tone circuit looks weird to me.

    I would love to see this up against the classic vibe Jaguar.

    I'd like this compared to the new $300 one coming out from squier

    I liked the HH jazzmaster version except the pickups. They just sounded blah. Not bad but not great. I would guess a super distortion bridge and a medium output neck pickup would make for a nice option.

    My pickguard suggestion: gold MOTO. If you're gonna add some flash, go full ham.

    never understood cumbersome jaguar switching, this seems better imo.
