Metallic Green Jag-Stang Finished Pg. 5

Post by HNB »

I have a second Jag-Stang body from Punk to work on. It is one of the reissues, so it is alder. Here are his pictures.

It arrived today and looks pretty good. A couple dings, but nothing major. :)

Thinking a tort guard and no switches. Maybe a mini toggle or a blending pot. :)

Excuse me losing track, are you doing another refinish for punkacc99? Or have you acquired this as a project for yourself?

Mint looks great, but I am planning on a custom nitro tort guard using parchment layers to brighten it up. :) I am thinking a strat pickup I am getting from Thomas along with my super distortion.

I did! :) I will have to figure out what to do with them.

That is the plan. While I like mint a ton, I think there is something cool about fiesta with tortoise.

This one I am keeping. I did trade the green goblin Jaguar I painted for it. I thought about refinning it, but I think I like it how it is. Only has a couple dings and they aren't super terrible or anything. :)

So here is what I came up with. I had an old 90's JS pickguard that had warped. I put it under some weight in the oven for 15 minutes and it flattened right out.

It has an 80's strat pickup in the neck with a bar magnet, a super distortion in the bridge, no switches (I put electrical tape under to cover them), 1meg volume and mini toggle. (No tone pot.) The bridge is from a blacktop Jazzy I think. It actually reminds me of a modified Mustang bridge. Height screws, but only one place for strings to pass over. I put some beat up black screws in the pickguard and chrome in the chrome. the neck pickup cover is from an old Jag-Stang pickup that had yellowed. Amp knob on it because I had one around. I dig it. Kind of trashy, but in a good way. Still need strap locks and a neck with plate.

Love it! Tort guard + blend pot will be the perfect finishing touches. The empty holes and mini-switch look a bit homeschooled.

Through sales and trades I got some new parts for this guitar. Some slider switches, pots, knobs, and a new neck pickup and Jag-Stang neck. I was never really happy with the paint cracks and dings, so I decided to strip the body and refinish it. I did the front and back last night.

I was surprised how nice the wood looked.... I was also surprised that I couldn't find a body seam. It could be laminate, so I didn't know what I was dealing with until today when I took the paint off the sides.

No laminate. It is indeed a one piece body. I haven't ever seen a one piece body with my Fender guitars yet. Pretty cool. This one still needs sanding, sealing, and then I will be painting it metallic green.
