Received mah new Batjag from Lallalateral the other day and it is GR8!
I only had enormous baritione strigns on hand yesterday, so I gave it a shot. fail. 24" is too few.
Anyway, I put a set of 12s on it today, got it about 80% set up. Neck pickup is SD antiquity? Correct? It's really nice and bassy, and actually more articulate and bright than the bridge pickup.

The headstock, which looks like it only says "Fender" also says "jaguar" but its in black, so you have to look reeeeeal close, and that is tits McGee.
Don't ask how long Im going to keep it. Because I'll just say "forever" and then get a bug up my ass and flip it.
Actually, I have a few little mods in mind, a toggle on the lower switches and a buzzstop. I may also switch necks with my jag-stang, because the jag's neck is just a hair thin for my tastes.

It's an Aniquity II, alright.
As Astro will also attest, easily the best sounding neck pickup I've (we've) heard.

i love it

My Cure-loving-ass enjoys that guitar greatly!

Ben

dude!

latlat: i didn't know you changed it to a real jag! NICEEEEE

aen: DO NOT SELL THIS ONE FOR A JAZZMASTER, NOW

I'm going to assume you mean I converted it from a Jag HH Special to a standard Jaguar, which I didn't.
This is just an uncommon colour combo "66 reissue" CIJ jag. It did start life under a tort guard, though.

Nice! Are you keeping this one then Aen? 0_o
I'm surprised you find the Jag neck thinner than the JS.

oh shit.

i thought you had a HH. maybe you do, but this was one i hadn't seen...

nice, either way. that's what i assumed you meant by "stealth jag."

Very classy looking, and matches the twin reverb nicely!

lol bon iver looking thoughtful. He looks especially smart when he's got his hands down his pants, just a scratchin like a bear at a beehive going: "I havent washed my balls in like 11 days!"

yeah, before I played this guy, I had assumed that the mojo of SD Antiquity's was all just cork-sniffing nonsense. Wrong, that pickup sounds gorgeous. Probably the best single coil I've ever heard. The SD Hot for Jaguar in the bridge, though, is shite.

Did you get the OG tort guard, too? That thing has to be the most hideous tort I've ever seen... like a ketchup scab.

im all about thin necks but then again i have tiny hands. not a fan of whammy bars but it looks fucking sweet anyway congrats.

Needs aged pickup covers. Pretty badass still.
