Then I figured it needed more chrome...

Upside down strat jack?

I like the outy strat jack, but then: whisper it, but I like strat jacks.

Excellent work too - hello you.

I like strat jacks, but I can't help but just stare at that one! Like a big mole on someones face, or a really bad tattoo on some tits.

i LOEV the more chrome option..

however still not down with the strat jack.. even though it now looks like a turret tower or something..

but for the price on these plus your mods, still probably not bad at all..

any gut shots of your wiring? how the body is routed?

MORE PICS AND INFO OF THIS FELLA IN THE BACKGROUND TOO!

These guitars come pre-routed for standard Jag wiring:



Yeah, I wish the Strat jack wasn't there, but short of filling it with wood filler and refinishing, the dummy strat plate was the best I could think of.

No rhythm circuit - I just skipped that altogether.

That's an SX Jag bass with a Dano baritone (30") neck on it. It's very rough, doesn't look great close up, but it plays and sounds great. Cheap strat pickups on there and pickup surrounds to hide the jagged holes I put in the pickguard. It really needs a nice custom guard.

That looks a hell of a lot better than the stock version, and looked better still without the jag trem plate.

[serfx]

cool thanks.

and GFS top mount trem ftw!

[Pens]

Yeah, I think it looks better without the jag trem plate also. It's starting to look steampunk with that extra plate added on.

What guitar is to the left of the Jaguar? Looks like an old Airline or Eastwood guitar.

Really nice job. I like that the standard Jag routing is underneath. Massive improvement over the stock configuration.

The red one is from a guitarkitsusa kit. It's fiberglass. I added a cheap starcaster neck and some Jazzmaster pickups.

Thanks!

now if only there was a way to turn that strat jack into a place where you could easily hold your cigarette.. or guitar plectrums.. yes.. that is the ticket.

the vintage trem on the jag seems off muuuch too far ( for me), maybe it should be similar to the baritone one?
I´m not a big fan of the new ´vintage series´, the jack looks a bit strange..would be a quite a job to close the cavity, sanding, finishing..

apart from that it looks very nice.

[George]

Awesome. Looks lke a lot of fine work. I really love that trem and the out facing strat jack is a cool idea that gives a steampunk look to it.

[BillClay]

totes digging that upside down strat jack for some reason.

[SKC Willie]

putting the jaguar trem baseplate on there looks much better . . .


but it looks like it could be moved forward 1/4 inch. Without the plate though, it looks WAY to far back. Looks really nice, though. Did you just use a standard jag pickguard?

Where he's put it looks about right to me for stock placement on non-CP/Blacktop/Mascis guitars.

[Dave]

Yeah I like the added jag trem plate - balances the look out and oddly is exactly something I'd considered for that GFS trem under similer project ideas only a few weeks back.
