sexy and delicious is one of life's greatest combos.

also an update: i sort of tried to cut the slot holes on that pickguard myself and fucked up so I'm waiting to hear back from Dazbootman about a replacement with him doing the extra mods, and also I'm still waiting for the string trees from Stewmac so I can send a jag neck away with the trees and the tuners. still looking at over a month till a completed project.

Dazbootman is making another guard with the roller slots. Thank god.

Anybody got a spare CIJ Jag roller bracket assembly ?

If the StewMac package arrives tomorrow, I'm sending away a neck to Greg Bailey.

Edit: Package arrived, sent neck/tuners/trees to Bailey.

I couldn't wait to give the Q-Tuner a try...

At first I didn't like it. Really quiet, super clean. It sounds great through my Ampeg VT-22 if you turn the volume up on the amp just a bit. It doesn't sound as great with my overdrive pedal as the Dimarzio I had in there, but it responds SO perfectly to distortion, which the Dimarzio didn't. I've never really liked distortion but this is something else.

I need to be able to use the upper horn/rhythm control cavity to control voume/tone as there won't be enough room for four control pots, a 1/4" jack and a 13pin GK midi output all on the same guard without looking like shit.

You could put the 1/4" and midi on the bottom.That would give you some room to work up top,and get a cleaner look.

Here's some quick crap thrown together. It's all the Q-Tuner until about 1:25 when I switch to the neck Dimarzio Super II, then I switch back to Q-Tuner at 1:52.

Click here to listen!

It's a bit staticky at times cuz I gotta ground it all better.

Greg has my neck and says it should be completed in around a week. The alternate guard from Dazbootman will be here in a few days. I'll be going to my Grandparent's house for dinner this weekend, and my Grandpa and I will work on putting some holes in the Jag body for some of the MIDI components.

another thing i like about it, when you get to the dimarzio, it doesn't sound like a completly different guitar, it still has it's own voice

From Greg:

Said it could be done as early as tomorrow.

I'll be selling both my black CIJ 62' Jag (first guitar I ever owned

) and the OCR Jag HH (JGS-75) that I'm having the neck modeled from, so I'll be putting them in the classified shortly after, and then onto eBay if nobody wants em.

I'd been anxiously checking the post office every day to see if it came in, I even lost my mail key and had to ask for them to look it up in the computer to see if it came in every time I went in.

That's as far as I can go for now. I'm in the middle of moving and my guitar tech stuff is still at the old place, along with all the rest of the hardware for this guitar. The only thing I'm not comfortable with right now is that I have to drill the mounting holes myself, per the recommendation of the builder, Greg Bailey. I'm definitely going to take it in to a local luthier and see if he can help me out, make the proper measurements and make sure it's not gonna be lopsided or out by a few mm or anything like that.

The mounting holes for what? Either way, grow a pair.
