Ben

I originally was going with Jaguar knobs, but the Witch hats won out in the end. Though I love the stock knobs on my new Jaguar.

My father is covering paint. Still to get is a clear/tint for the neck since its unfinished.

I'm sure lots of people will say its expensive for a project but who eh, who cares! I got a great deal on the allparts.com stuff [dealer cost] so that helps. Still don't have a bracket for the mini pots so i'm going to try and make one myself from dimensions/what will fit my guard/body when it returns.

Still waiting on robert for the body work.

Wow. Is that the jaguar neck which has the veneer fretboard?

Haze · Post by **Haze** » Mon Dec 07, 2009 12:20 am

Beats me. It was the only jaguar neck that allparts carry.
The body is en route from robert. Cool cool cool

Do you suppose Robert would do another body? I have a jagmaster body lying about that could be used for a project, but lack proper skills to do filling/routing/etc.

Haze · Post by **Haze** » Mon Dec 07, 2009 1:35 am

Beats me, you'll have to take that up with robert. From my understanding he's been busy with his move to aen-land, NAMM and Dwarfcraft.

So the body came in from robert today. Looks like its just going to need a new body, this one just has too many things that aren't lining up right.

here is why:

► Show Spoiler

looks like an allparts body is my best bet. Not terribly happy about it but it'll have to do

you have to file down the neck pocket part of the pickguard. line everything else up where it goes and then file the neck pocket down until it lines up. pretty much every pickguard I've ever gotten I've had to do this before it would fit.

for the neck pocket in the body you should be able to work that down some way as well. if it's not snug you can always put a shim in there.

had another look at the body with my dad, who i am building the guitar with. it'll be some good work but we'll see if we can make this body work

what is that line in the neck pocket? is that as far as the neck goes? if the neck can bolt in there and you can push the pickguard up to that line it should work fine as long (as the bridge is in the right spot in correlation to that line in the pocket).
