Save up and get a Jag 2nd hand.
SADLY TRUE. :(

Seems like a Vista Jag would be the logical purchase for you. Unless you want/need all the switches, knobs, slides and twiddly bits (and a bridge that, presumably, you'll want to spend some time setting up properly), then the Vista's can be magnificent value for money if you get one cheap enough.

Or try this new guitar from Fender:

Basically a Jaguar that is more like a Jagmaster and cheaper than a Vista Jagmaster.

It seems a bit odd to buy a Jagmaster to replace everything, to try to make it something it's not. It also seems a bit wasteful to buy a Vista and gut it.
