this was a new Jagmaster II. Any jagmaster can be refinished to be "excalibur" for cheaps. I picked this one up from craigs list for $150. It had a nice gig bag, strap locks and strap. The pickups are dragonfire creambuckers. They are super distortion clones and sound great. Plus they only cost $30 for the pair.

If robroe gets a jagmaster and wants the neck refinished.....I can do it for you and make you a custom decal that says excalibur instead of jagmaster.

What's the pickup route like under the pickguard? Is it a swimming pool route? I've been contemplating getting a new Jagmaster and putting Strat pickups in it.

Good news! Jagmaster II's do have a swimming pool route. I remember this from refinishing mine, last year. I can only assume this is also the case with the Vistas.

Looking good, quick question, whats up with the yellow rings around the knobs?

dawnofzion · Post by **dawnofzion** » Tue Feb 17, 2009 5:22 am

its not yellow rings. I ended up painting some black witch hat knobs cream. they turned out more butter then cream but they will due until I can get my hands on some white knobs. Here is a better view of them

Very nice... maybe I'll hang onto that Jagmaster body I've got lying around and do something similar.

I actually love that, I think it looks fantastic.

Like astro, I'm curious about the custom decals...

dawnofzion · Post by **dawnofzion** » Mon Mar 02, 2009 2:40 pm

I make the decals on water slide decal paper in my printer. then I use a gold paint pen to color the letters in. Then I clear of that to prevent any paint smears while attaching it to the headstock.

Cool, thanks!

Nice job with the gold paint pen... it looks like it was actually printed that way.
