You put a mint guard on that Jag or is it just the lighting dude?

It's definitely mint. I got it used, it might not be stock, not sure.
I haven't made any changes to it because the previous owner changed the pickups and the bridge, which is all I would have done to it anyway.

+1 on the mint guard, it is an upgrade and a fine one at that

Oh cool. So yeah, apparently the last owner had really good taste. Mint pickguard, good replacement pickups, and a Mustang bridge.
Sometimes you buy a used guitar and the "upgrades" tend to be like someone put a humbucker in the middle position, and you spend good money undoing the damage.

Hi All!
New to this site, and from near Coventry in the Uk
Finally heard the shortscale calling after years of not getting on with 25" scales...
My shortscale line-up was/is....
1994-95 CIJ Jaguar
2008 CIC Squier Duosonic & 2009 CIC Jagmaster Standard Series
I have plans for both Duo and Jagmaster, including new pickguards, and new zebra pafs for the Jagmaster...bit o the Kurtz maybe...
Cheers...

What, the pickguard on that Duo is the best thing about it IMO.
Nice Jag. Looks just like mine.

Updated pic of my shortscales. I sold my Squier Jagmaster Custom and Squier CV Duo Sonic.
1978 Fiesta Red Music Master, AVRI Fender Jaguar and my Daphne Blue Baja Telecaster. The Music Master is a project guitar I just finished up.

My first post here, figured I'd show my two (and only so far) shortscales:
1960's Winston Parlor acoustic, 60s/70s Silvertone (It might actually not be a shortscale, I don't know for sure)

Rather nice! May I ask how much?
