My Jaguar Clarence

Here's a few pics of my latest creation. Started life as a Vintage Modified Squier in Candy Apple Red. I wanted to pay a small tribute to the man behind Fender - Clarence Leonidas himself.
Here's the specs:
Warmoth neck w/ custom decal, Warmoth bridge, AllParts pickguard, Jap Jag trem. Sprayed using auto paint I had mixed from the local shop. Blue has a slight metallic in it.
I've been playing it for about 2 months now and it just keeps getting better. Really happy with how this turned out. Hope you all like.

Cool!
I was really confused by the logo for a second. Then I scrolled down and saw the rest of the guitar. NOICE

That's really nice PVDindie. What pickups did you put in (they don't look like the stock Squier Duncan Designed ones)?

that decal is a really nice color. not a huge fan of that shade of blue but the metallic makes it all okay.

It's the stock pickups/electronics. I just lightly sanded off the Duncan name on the covers and then set them in coffee for a few days to yellow them up a bit.

Well done. Love the maple fretboard. What was your total cost for the build if you don't mind my asking?

New Squier Vintage Modified = $289
Warmoth Neck = $310
Warmoth Bridge = $49
Pickguard = $29
Jap Trem (ebay) = $21
Paint, tape, etc... = $28
Total = $726
After selling extra parts =
$559
Sold original neck (ebay) - $118
Sold original bridge (ebay) -$19
Sold original trem (ebay) - $18
Sold original pickguard (ebay) - $12
Took me roughly 3 months from start to finish (6 weeks for the Warmoth neck to be built/shipped alone).
I knew I would never get what I invested back but still a lot less $$ than an American Anniversary edition @ $1700. Best part was that I built something completely customized to my exact spec's and I think it plays better than the American versions.

Very nice! Love the blue with maple neck, and its a fab idea to pay your respects to Clarence
By using his name on it! Lot of thought gone into it, and that's what counts..
