I'm contemplating going a humbucker in the neck (low output PAF) and a NoCaster bridge pickup as well as working on the neck (I want it less shiny as it was a build...). It's definitely my favourite guitar to play in the world and all I really lust for now is a nice Jazzmaster but won't buy one without playing it first... bit hard down this part of the world.

I might end up building my own. Fiesta red/Salmon pink, alder body, 9.5" radius, dots+binding+non-matching headstock, AVRI pickups, AVRI trem... I might even go the same route as my Telecaster and buy up an older piece of alder (I have a +40 year old pine in my Tele) because I've never played a nicer Tele than mine and I've played, owned and looked at a whole bunch.

I've also owned 4 Jazzmasters... so it's been a bumpy road :) It's hard being tall with short fat fingers :(

That is the scratchplate I've been dying for for my Tele, just the lower horn bit would have to cover that blasted hole that the MIM factory insists on scarring its guitars with.

I can back you up on this, i have never seen a Jazzy or a Jaguar (other than the HH and Classic Players) in Tulsa.
I have seen a couple of Jag-stangs.

The Cash America Pawn at 49th & Peoria has a sunburst Squier Jagmaster for $170.
