'65 Jag!

Altar · Post by **Altar** » Tue Oct 29, 2013 1:30 am

I inherited this old thing:

Isn't she purty?

No. The answer is no.

So...

I stripped the body. Began collecting parts. Got this neck:

ABSOLUTELY FREE.

Yeah!

She's coming... Her name is Jessie.

Is that a strat bridge? Please say they didn't route the back out for the strat bridge?

Is the trem hole filled in?

It was a floyd, but hardtailed, so no route.

She's gonna be Olympic white over burst.

It's a technical thing, but I believe you will need some frets.

I like it as-is.

Cool neck!

Thanks! Sexy neck indeed, and smooth as Fergie.

Here's my inspiration:

For those who can't take a hint, Ackermann is my obsession.

I'm not decided on pickups. I want to go with lipstick tubes, but this wasn't intended to be an APTBS tribute jag. It's just my taste, I love overburst, lipstick tubes, and I was planning to go with a white guard. I wanted my own sig, though... Not an Ackermann, as much as I love him. I might stick to a tort guard, and a set of Roadhouse pickups... Just undecided.

Thoughts?

The wear on that new neck looks perfect.

Thanks. It really feels amazing, I can't wait to play it.

I wish my jag had that many miles on it..........

I'm with the lot who've said it was a'ight as-was. But I am sure the project will end up titacular.

Oh my god, if that 12-string neck is 24 inch scale length and at all usable, someone needs to use it to make a 12-string Jag.

Alternatively, give it to me and I'll make a 12-string Jag, it's one of my dream guitars.

I actually have a body I cold drop this onto. I have the 12 string coronado bridge too....
