^ The Inspiration for my color scheme. I really wanted a Mustang but this Jag Stang neck fell into my lap for another build that didn't work out the way I wanted, so when I saw an ebay Jag Stang body for sale not long after I knew it was a good idea to move this direction and get another Mustang eventually though I want a Jazzmaster more (tangent.) I feel like a I saved/rescued a 95' Jag Stang in this build. I also did a really rough build for this guitar based on the Kurt Inspiration idea. So the rough neck and body were perfect for the build but otherwise they could be a lil more rough than I'd like. Though the neck is flawless on the fret board just a few imperfections on the bottom of headstock, drill for second string guide, and messy drill job for the tuners, but these don't affect performance. The body has tons of dents, knicks, scratches, and just overall heavy wear. *Looks like someone made love to the back of it with a belt buckle* Huge cracks in the clear, yada yada, but like I said what the hellz.

^ Real light to see the cracks in clear, knicks, scratches, etc. I really wanted to enjoy the rough paint and the brand new white hardware, the contrast, and noticeable modifications. I'd also like to share that I bought the white tusq saddles from Graphtech and those are definitely not for any Mustang bridge but for the Jaguar/Jazzmaster style with all smaller saddles. Not the same as the Mustang bridge with the radius saddles etc. So I went back to the original Mustang/Jag Stang saddles and worked with them until I decide between the Mastery or the suggested Staytrem option.
