Lovely pictures mate.
I've always wondered:
WTF are the three extraneous looking holes under the bridge for?

On real jags, the mute goes there. the big hole is for the plunger and the other small ones are for the screws. why they are there when the jap jag never had a mute?..gawd knows.

I thought you'd bent the whammy bar really really high...
Nice guitar, I was thinkin about buying it and relicing it further with some more subtle wear...

Yeah it looks stupidly high in that pic for some reason. It's not.

Thats Shields Bonar Town dude. DONT refinish, if you do i'll come up to the north east and make you drink 24 cans of Mansfield Bitter then video you playing a Les Paul through a plexi wearing spandex.
If you need a SJAG-1 for the bridge let me know

Its a vintage sound but not quite like Antiquities. Definitely an improvement on the CIJ pups. You can have it if you want, pm me your address and i'll send it. If you have a 'bucker doing nowt i'd be interested, but its yours anyway.
