I'm really GAS-ing to do a Jag with JM pickups, and would like to see if anybody here has done so. With or without chrome.

hurb's old one.

I just bought a B&B Candy Apple Red Jag off ebay and I'm seriously considering putting Jazzmaster pickups in it.

That is beautiful.

Interesting... but I do hate brown on blue...

Have to admit the color combo doesn't work for me either.

Yeah, I’d have gone for Daphne blue with the tortoise shell, but I still like it.

aye. we should definitely talk about what we should've done had we been hurb and had this idea like 5+ years ago.

i like the look of it. simples

correct. the chickenhead knob wouldn't have been my first choice either.

I love that! I thought about putting together one of my own but I gave up on the project. It was going to be Sherwood Green, tort guard, B&B neck, Novak pickups. I ended up buying a Jazzmaster instead.

Not being funny.... just wanted to test this out... there are a few out there.

worked on this today. Waiting on georges pickguard to arrive so I can get this going. I already have a great jaguar and I'm not feeling the full scale necks these days so I'm thinking the jaguar configuration with jazzmaster pickups will suit me quite well

Get the Novak JMx when they come out

Where you are is exactly where I am on this. 24" scale just WORKS for me somehow. Just seems a shame that it took me 25 years and 400+ guitars owned to come to that realization.

Very cool . Think I'd rather have one of them than an actual Jazzmaster .

he's not there anymore, fortunately.

I'm all there on the subject of scale length. I'm opting for jag pickups because I like the sound of my 64 but don't like the neck and don't want to gig it.

Looking a bit insomniac, sorry.
