Squier Jaguar Conversion

Yeah, I guess that was pretty harsh. It's not the worst guitar I've ever seen. But I still hate that jack.

cig holder... weed holder....

Pens, what about making it an incense stick holder so that way everyone can enjoy the fresh scent of weird shit!

Fuck you in the fucking face!!!!

Just kidding.

I'm halfway considering doing a refin and filling up the strat jack with wood filler. I wish it weren't there either, but I bought the body for $100, and I had everything else, so instant Jaguar and everything. I can't complain too much.

Sems like a lot of hassle to do away with the strat jack to me. If anything why not make that another output for stereo. When people laugh at the strat jack you plug into an amp, an octave down pedal and a bass amp and rasp their faces of with stereo attack and shouting "hOW THAT FEAeL NOw CANDY aSS MUTHERFUCK3r1!1!!!!"

just a thought

This seems redundant in light of the new Squier Jags, but here's the super duper modified version of this project:

Supposedly the new ones have chunky C necks, which I would prefer to the old VM thinner neck, but otherwise I prefer this trem to stock.

Anyway, I spent all that time filling in the stupid Strat jack and refinishing, and then Squier comes out with this:

I agree with Fran. Nice.

Pretty similar necks in my experience. Some of the old ones might be slightly thinner, but I think there was some variation. The new necks are still less chunky than vintage and AVRI.

Yeah you'rs is cool looking....though I must admit the irony is also very very funny

EDIT: oh and I'm teetering around the edges of getting a surf green one and I'd definitley do the mint guard - totally inspired by yours.

Thanks!

IMO mint beats white pickguards every time.

+1 but only if the pickup covers are also mint. If you have white or cream covers, a mint guard is going to look awful.

I don't think they look awful, but I agree white or mint covers would look better. I've seen white jag covers but never mint.
