Setting up and personalising the action on my customised "Original '60's" Fender Jaguar
Customised Fender USA “Original ’60’s” Jaguar – Setup
Customised Fender USA “Original ’60’s” Jaguar. Fitting a nut, and stringing
A properly cut bone nut is one of the keys to great tone - but cutting one properly can be a challenge. Even with the right tools and a refined approach - it can take a while. But it's well worth the effort.
“Mary Kaye” White Blonde Fender Jaguar. Re-fitting the headstock with gold hardware
Swapping out the nickel hardware on a Fender '65 Re-issue Jaguar neck, for a replacement set, in gold.
Kurt Cobain “Jag-Stang”. Assembly after finishing
I've already done a dry-run assembly. So - now that the body has been finished and polished, piecing my JagStang build together again should be an absolute breeze...
Custom built Fender Jaguar USA. Building the tone circuit, and wiring-in the pickups
I can finally see well enough to drop some Creamery "Alt 88"Jaguar pickups into my Custom spec Fender "US Original '60's" Jaguar. I'm wiring them up with a "Johnny Marr" schematic, and I'm especially looking forward to testing out the additional "neck and bridge in series" combination.
“Mary Kaye” White Blonde Fender Jaguar. Filling a few pinholes, tinting, toning, and applying the final clear coat
Filling a few minor "pinholes", tinting and toning the colour coat, and applying a final clear gloss lacquer topcoat on a white blonde "Mary Kaye" type nitro finish.
Kurt Cobain “Jag-Stang”. Shielding the body, and grounding the bridge
Grounding a Fender Mustang Tremolo unit, and linking the running ground wire to the internal copper shielding on my Jagstang build...
Custom Fender Jazzmaster. First assembly after re-finishing
There are so many things to catch up on, at the moment. Time to start putting my newly-finished Jazzmaster together - with a couple of Staytrem upgrade options
Kurt Cobain “Jag-Stang”. Polishing a nitro paint job the easy way
So much to catch up on... Next up - polishing the nitro finish coat on my Warmoth JagStang body. I'm looking for a simplified process to save time, and to help prevent rubbing through the thin lacquer coats.
Making up some home-made Jaguar shielding plates
A set of new, genuine Fender Jaguar shielding plates seems to be an impossible find here in the UK. Additionally - high shipping costs and import taxes means it's not exactly economical to specially ship sets in from the USA. So - why not make a set, myself, from scratch?
