I've thought of converting one of those black Jag HH Specials into a regular jag. I'd have to use a bigsby for the trem, since I don't have a router. I just love the thought of an all black jag with a matching headstock.
jagmasters are swimming pool routed.
aug did it for shad.
shad sold it to cowbell
cowbell sold some of it to..... burbz..... i know he parted it out tho, and re-finished it.

It wasn't me that Cowbell sold it to, the Jagmaster that I'm refinishing is my own

I've been thinking of doing this for my jagmaster, since I would prefer having single coils over humbuckers. Does anyone here have any jagmaster guards that fit jaguar pups or be willing to make me one? (I have zero tools for the job)
When one thinks about this, it'd be easier to convert something that didn't have a gaping, ugly strat trem route.
And cheap things that don't have those are typically teles. (as I'm doing)
A Squier Deluxe copy thingie might be the best bet? You'd have a huge guard, a minimum of filling... But you'd be stuck with 25.5" scale, unless you could place the bridge without interfering with the pickup routes (is that possible?). And you'd not have the look...
...ok actually, Just a normal tele would be better, with a Deluxe guard. But routing would be involved... A cheap Standard tele copy is always a cheap proposition, and you could place the bridge wherever you wanted regardless of pickup routing...
