jagmaster mods

Post by serfx »

so i was planning on selling this a couple months ago.. i had fallen out of love with it.
it was foolish
i saw the error in my ways.
but yeah.


so first from the store:

swap to a full scale neck:
Image
it wad then that i got bored, but jimmy was looking to swap pickguards
so i pulled it off the market.
it was really the burst + tort that i didn't like
---
the BwB guard showed up today.
i had the noisemaster 3 apart again (sitll having wiring issues)
Image
and fuck it i like the muddy sound of these pick ups.
but i wanted a maple neck

so now it has one.

as it is 2 am i'm not doing a video demo right now. my neighbors would kill me
but we can look at it next to my twin
Image

and i can hold it, and bite it.

--

so its safe to say that i think i'm happy with this guitar now.
i'm just trying to decide between the white witch hats, black mustang, or black speed knobs.

Witch hat knobs for sure. Might look good in Black hat knobs too. I put the black witch hat knobs on my Candy apple red Jagmaster with a white pickguard.

Did you have to reroute the body for the telecaster neck?

nope, no re-route required. there is a small gap at the end, what the jag neck was rounded out, as the tele neck is flat cut.

yup.
that i did.
and i also recommended throwing guitars down stairs.

the 25.5" jagmaster neck that was on it is going onto my other jagmaster, thats now sort of a jagbalster/noisemaster
once i get the electronics sorted out properly on it, i'll be updating that thread.

That pickguard looks mighty sexy up against the tort. How did it line up with the screw holes?

It's a Jeannie Pickguard btw.

yeah it had a sticker on the back that i pulled off.
lines up, okay ish... good enough for me, it fits like a shrunken pickguard on a 60's mustang.

This thing looks pretty good, considering the metamorphasis(spelling?) it went through. It has a raw, garage band look to it, and it works for this guitar. Cheers ~(bravo)
