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.

Custom built Fender Jaguar USA. Fitting a customised, bound and block-marked neck

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.

Gold leafed Hardtail Stratocaster. Fixing a nut which is cut slightly too low

Fixing a nut which has been cut slightly low - resulting in some fret buzz at the first fret, on open strings.

Jimmy Page Tribute “Dragoncaster”. Copper shielding, and installing that difficult jack socket.

I'm still trying to source a suitable neck for the Dragoncaster. Since I need the neck in place to check the final scatchplate and control plate positions, I'm left with only a few bits and pieces I can do to push the project along. At least I can get the ground side of the circuit sorted.
