This is the BEFORE video. I know I keep referring to the neck pickup as the bridge pickup, it is because I am STOOPID.
Nice demo!

How do you wear your guitar that high on your body? It just looks terribly uncomfortable and the strap looks like it's a foot long.

Thanks :D

I used to have it ridiculously low and I basically went from one extreme to the other. I just find it easier if I'm playing something complex to have the neck closer to me, so I keep the guitar up there all the time, and I find it pretty comfortable.

I modded 2 Jagmasters. The first one , like yours, I put some Fender Dragster pickups on and sold. I still have my Candy Apple red Jagmaster (25.5" scale) with Jazzmaster pickups. Great guitars to mod and play.

They're very lovely, especially for the price. And that red one looks gorgeous!

I think next time I restring I'm gonna have a look inside and do the resoldering and suchlike. I just went out and bought some new strings today so it shouldn't be long.
