Thanks! It is coming along pretty well. It is much darker than normal walnut stain, but I am ok with that. I like the deep brown. Here are some pics. I did my first coat of Z Poxy on the back. Coming along!

Oh, here is the modified template I made for my pickguard. It is basically a Mustang guard with a steeper curve at the lower horn to match the Jag-Stang shape a bit better.

No pictures yet, but I just got pickups on the way for this from Cooter. A mini humbucker for the neck and a strat single coil for the bridge.

Sweeet are you gonna clear coat it?

Yup! Once I finish sealing it I will clear coat it.

Coat number two of Z Poxy on the front. Tomorrow coat two on the back.

Haha maybe I'll buy this off you! :p this is gonna be sweet. If you get a black guard and pickups it will be even awesomer.

Second coat of Z Poxy on the back.

So happy accident/odd event happened as I sanded the Z Poxy flat. The Z Poxy caused the grain to rise. This caused some of the stain to sand off as I leveld the body creating a sort of zebra look to the guitar. At first I was a little pissed when it was one spot, but as I finished the front and back, I kind of dig it. Much more dramatic.

When damp, the contrast is more subtile so I am expecting it will not be as stark when clear coated.

Pickups came from cooter. Neck mini humbucker and single coil bridge ala Pat's crackwhore jagup.

First coat of clear. I am very pleased with how the color is looking. Many more coats to go on over the week, but it should be set to start drying next week.

Reminds me of the brown modern players jaguar.

Going to look great, that's for sure. Post how it sounds when finished, interested in hearing the mini humbucker.

Definately. I am curious too. I haven't ever used a mini humbucker before.

I think you are doing a great job. Keep up the attention to detail.

Thanks! I appreciate it.

Just did the fourth coat tonight. Should be able to do two tomorrow and Sunday. I am thinking I will be done with clear around Wednesday or Thursday and then it will be dry time.

That is definitely the coolest stain finish I've seen!
