thinking of building a jaguar.

[Mark]

Ive got a seller on ebay willing to sell me unfin jag bodies for $190
Hes asking for specs to the body and im not sure about these, since im not too technical with my guitars.

im thinking of just building it to alder body av mia specs.

would most fender parts fit on it?

hes charging $350 for a block innlayed jag neck but untill this time im thinking of just having the jagmaster neck on.

could i change from the jagmaster neck to the new jag neck without having to re rout?

Depends on the heel (this is assuming that the JagMaster neck you have is 24", i.e. a vista). If not you'll have to move the bridge towards the back of the guitar intonate the guitar properly.

Ive got the CIC jagmaster but according to squier its 24" scale.

I have the same neck...it's completely useless on any other guitar because, despite the scale, it's a good 1"+ shorter. You'll need another neck, me thinks.

i just wanted to use it as a temporary neck untill i save up enough for the block inlayed one. I dont really care about the scale on the temp guitar. As long as the new neck has the right scale im happy.

Imma doin block inlays on the strat neck I bought for the Shadowmaster 2.0, Shadows jagmaster body was turned into a jazzmaster via aug. My bound neck (25.5 scale) cost $150 shipped, $27 for MOP inlays, so I have a block inlay neck for about $180, My paint costs were $0, because I was using left over clear. Robert (original) is sending me a couple of fretboards and stuff for me to practice on, but I'm already done with my first ever attempt and didn't fuck it up.

[Mike]

You did that Cowbell? That looks awesome! Well done.

It won't intonate with the Jagmaster neck. They are way shorter, even though they have the same scale.

If you want, we could build you a body for much cheeper then 190 that would fit that neck.

[Aug]

oh, wow! I can't believe you did that, cowbell! fantastic!

[More Cowbell]

Thanx maine. It wasn't that bad, you should attempt it and find out for yo self for your new geetar bizness.

Oh forgot to mention that all prices are in AUD
lol

[Mark]

oh hes just told me that $190 is the price for mahogany.

he says its a much better wood, and alder would make it sound like a strat.

what wood does everyone have in thier jag?

[iCEByTes]

dont have better wood , exist different tone

Mahogany is warm , thats why gibson use
Alder , Poplar , Ash , Swamp ash , Tauri , Freijo , Oak is Open and Bright Tone , Alder,poplar and Ash are favority Leo fender woods
Ash gave the telecaster most tradictional tone , very Bright tone Clean and strong sustain
Alder Gave the Stratocaster , the strato tradictional Tone also poplar have very behind alder tone

Eddie van hallen did an Strato Body of Ash , mapple neck and did an P.a.f at bridge and no tone controls , its maded an Very clean sound over weight of an P.a.f , can be listen that tone on first cd of van hallen

Warm wood + humbuckers = Killer tone
Open Tone Wood + Singles = Killer tone


I Say Stick the Original Jazzmaster , jaguar Wood
original Jaguar an jazzmaster wood is Alder
neck do Curly mapple , Quart-saw mapple
Rosewood for Scale can be Indian , get very dark one its show its more old Rosewood became blackie when is stocked whit time



DONT GET BASSWOOD
