Nice one. I quite like the black pg, never seen it on CAR before, it looks refreshingly different. 8)

I cleaned the whold thing up last night it looks hot, although I am replacing the pick guard with a MOP, the black one is not the propper size and wont loay flush with the body. The rosewood is beautiful after a little lemon oil.

will take better photos soon, these were quick ones with flash

MOP will look nice, or i really like how brown tort looks on CAR, i had a Jagmaster with that color combo, and it was nice.

Nice Jag!

I like red tort on Candy Apple Red. My Japanese Jazzmaster was like that.

Weird. I would have thought it would work. Maybe it needs to be a darker red like Dakota?

White then.

mint works well on most colors. unfortunately candy apple red isn't one of them. i tried the red tort from my '62 and it looked great with the CAR. now i have to find out who's still making tortoiseshell that doesn't look like spaghetti sauce.

CAR and balck pickguard always makes me think of my dad rocking his Peavey in 1989.

COngrats on the Jag, though, Ive definetly been jonesing for one.
