Originally I thought yellow but I tried out Surf Green and Fiesta Red too. anyone is welcome to save the picture and just paint bucket the body and repost it if they have any other suggestions. Thanks.

fiesta red, always.

I think the yellow is a bit different, Surf Green looks cool. Fiesta Red looks a bit flat to me.

I like all the colors. I wish other people could build the rest lol. I'm kinda feeling the yellow. I'm going to pickup the Jag-Stang 2.0 today! So I'm excited.

What about this? The three stripes go with the three pickups.

I really think red or green and kick yellow to the curb. I can't decide but my instinct says red.

Yellow, for sure. Surf green is a distant second.

Lol someone make the Green one and red one! I'm going with the yellow. Never owned a yellow guitar either.

I was thinking using 250K pots for this. Would that be fine? There is just three single coils.

250k will probably be just fine.

Ok cool. Just checking. I have to go look at paint tonight and pick out a color. The guy had it for a month now. I have just been too lazy to get him the color.

I used 500ks on my cyclone because I wired the middle and bridge as one pickup, but if I hadn't I would have used 250ks.

Yeah I'm going to be turning all of them on but not together like a humbucker

I like the yellow with black comp stripes. Very cool, and not something I've seen before. I'm looking forward to seeing how this one turns out.

I don't think I'm gonna get the stripes painted but get the decal.

Instead of comp stripes, have you considered running racing stripes parallel with the neck. I've seen Mustangs with racing stripes that were offset above the pickguard so you could see em more... you are a car guy, figure something out.
