GUITAR BUILD PROJECTS, CUSTOMISATION & DIY TECH
After deciding to swap around the necks on my Jaguar projects again - I need to swap the hardware out on this lacquered AllParts JGRO neck. There are also a few areas of damage I need to clear up...
...just call me "Four-Jags!"...
Swapping out the nickel hardware on a Fender '65 Re-issue Jaguar neck, for a replacement set, in gold.
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.
I've got a couple of small jobs scheduled this week. First off - I want to replace the Fender Mute on my CAR Original '60's Jaguar...
Fitting my customised Musikraft Jaguar neck onto my Candy Apple Red "Original '60's" Jaguar body. Featuring some new Gotoh SD-510 tuners, and a StewMac neck shim.
Finishing the painted headstock on my Musikraft custom Jaguar neck. A few gremlins in the detail - but maybe I just have to live with some of my practical limitations, and focus on the overall effect.
It's going to be tough to exactly colour match the finish on my Fender body - but I should be able to get reasonably close...
It's quite usual for most of my project builds to evolve over time. However - I don't usually start the process of upgrading before a project's actually completed...
It might seem like overkill to some - but I want to properly shield my USA Custom Jaguar body with some copper foil. While I'm at it - I can sort out a few grounding issues
