So I was gifted a mahogany jaguar body and neck a while ago. It's a bit ropey in places so needs some work. I also don't need a 3rd Jaguar setup like a stock jaguar. So thought I would do something a bit different.
Have the wide ranger from Mike.



No idea what bridge pickup to go for that will match wide ranger. Also not sure on pickguard style. Will probably repaint it at some stage but will get it all together first.

Too much?

Yeah I am liking it. Just ordered some jaguar plates for it. Was originally gonna try and do something more tele custom for the pickguard but think this will do. On the look out for a 3 way toggle plates now.

Cool idea, looking forward to seeing how it comes together.

Do an regular jag!

I still don't know exactly what I meant by this, but I want this to be the guitar you make.

Yeah no idea what you mean but that's what the guitar is now called!

I know you want to use that rangemaster (which sounds like an old microwave oven model) but you should Esquire that shit, call it a Jaguire.


And no, never repaint it.

Pretty set on the wideranger.

Ok I'll do it then, I expect it'll be done March of 2048

This is the one, more bling!

I ordered a KC 3-way Jag plate from this place, but they do them pretty much however you want:

More stuff arrived today

Put the other wideranger in the space where the main switchplate normally goes, and just run the switching from the top plate. Clack the outboard humbucker with your carkeys and that, like Sonic Youth do.

Tempting

Fucking hell this has been on the back burner too long!
I have everything bought now, got stuff pretty much lined up. Need to cut the guard for the Tele plate, then start cutting the body up.

NOICE

Body routed(chiseled) for the pickups. Everything looks ok I think.


Wondering if there are wide ranger pickup rings cheaply available to cover the old jaguar pickup holes left... although I do like it slightly janky.

Or maybe just get a custom Jag pickguard properly made.
