any chance someone here can ms paint/photoshop/whatever graphic program you have, add the jaguar upper control plate to a cyclone?

thinking of running a jazzmaster bridge pickup with a jag neck pickup, but then i thought, why not add the controls while i'm at it. i know i might need a custom guard, but thats not a huge deal.

not my best work, but i guess it gives the idea. as you said, you'll need a custom guard.

If you got a pickguard that was just barely wide enough on the top to mount the humbucker, than ran it up to meet the plate like on a jaguar, you'd have something kinda cool. At least I think. I'll try and shoop it.

edit - no i give up

cool, the jazzmaster pickup in the bridge should cover a lot more room as well, i just want to get rid of that stupid strat style top of the guard, it looks awful.

Dudes if I found the righ cyclone, I woudl totally get it. the right one meaning one that did not osund like balls of ass and have sharo frets tha hurt me. Im sure they exist.

i have a sunburst one that was someone else's project that they gave up on, the frets are lifting but the thing is going in for a full overhaul and the stock electronics are going bye bye, its getting a roller nut, roller saddles, roller tree's, and i'm hoping to have a decent looking cyclone that will stay in tune and sound like crap.

kind of like how fender should have built it

if you're gonna add a jaguar control plate, shouldn't you get the cyclone with the three jaguar pickups? that'd be pretty cool.

not a big fan of triple pickups except for p90's. small singles don't sound right too me, and if they are humbuckers, the middle one gets in the way too much, plus i like the simplicity of a 3 way switch, lol
