So the Jag-Stang 2.0 is halfway done. Time to start another custom/concept build? Yeah, why the hell not? haha I had a concept I threw around now for a while and even made a template for it. Tried to have it built before but no success. But I came back to it and changed it up now. I took a tracing of my 69 reissue mustang and my 95 jag-stang and morphed them together. Mustang horns with a Jag-Stang butt. A super offset mustang lol. The original template was yellow and I planned a black pickguard. I thought yellow might be cool but I'm still undecided about the colors.

Here's the original template made a few years ago..

Sooo after that it was ditched it was revisited by me last week where I came up with this using my old musicmaster pickguard.
The Mustang Offset 2.0 haha

I don't know if I like the color anymore, so I'm going to do a white/black/white pickguard now with black pickup covers. What color should I do the body?

I also ditched the toggle switch and will just do all the switching with the mustang phase switch. 3 single coils. The phase switch I thought would look cool up in the top corner because there is soo much space there.

Here's the switching positions if you can understand it. I wrote on a napkin at a bowling alley lol.

I had to morph a mustang and musicmaster pickguard to get exactly what I wanted. The bronco/1970 musicmaster pickguards have that gap between it and the vibrato and it's so open. I made my template so it will be snug against the vibrato. Looks nicer I think.

The old template of the body was beat to hell so I redid that too.

I'm having Cooterfinger do this body as well. He's extremely talented with body making. I'm trading him my 1966 mustang body for this body and a custom pickguard.

Leave me a suggestion for colors.

Final mockup looks good. The Bronco pickguard is a good match for that body.

Years ago, back on Jag-Stang, we were going to get a batch of guitars made from a chinese plant. That fell through, however, this is pretty damn close to the body we were going to use.

Not a fan of that ghetto booty

Really? Was it my design? I was on Jag-Stang for a long time and I gave up on it cus no one really went on it anymore.

Decided to change up design again. I don't like the jag-stang offset anymore. Gonna use a jag offset. So here's what I'm going for!

Mustang Top with Jaguar bottom. same controls as before.

Don't do it... the other jagstang 2.0 is/was great !!!

No lol. I'm still doing the jag-stang 2.0. I'm making another body like this. I'm not cutting it. Oh and I have new pictures to post of that!

Ahhh... I can sleep at night now. That's the best jagstang I've seen.

A SuperSonic and a Mustang mashup maybe?

yes! but instead of two humbuckers it should be 1 humbucker and 2 single coils. and the neck upside down just like jimi h. that would be awesome!!!!
and the body and pickguard a little bit bigger than a mustang and the super-sonic so it would look nice with the pickups.

I don't understand the body shape you want though.

UPDATE!

Cooterfinger has started the body. It looks pretty awesome so far.

Mustang Top with Jaguar bottom. same controls as before.

I had an idea for a similiar guitar using the Jag-stang 2.0 body. Are you using Mustang pickups?

I'm not sure what pickups I'm using yet. All I have currently is a mustang bridge pickup from a 65 reissue

Nice work, I like your design. I always thought the Jagstang shape was a bit awkward looking. To my eyes your shape is a much more harmonious and practical mash up.
