Gato Gordo

Post by ifallalot » Fri Apr 14, 2017 12:25 pm

I remember the Custom Shop did a "Gato Gordo" Cabronita Jaguar a couple years ago

However, it was hardtail and 25.5" scale (and like $5k) so it wasn't in the cards for me.

Instead, I'm going to have Rosser guitars build me a pine body with a standard Jag trem route at 24" scale and build a guitar in the same vein. I'm going to go with a maple neck so I'll either have to go to Warmoth or buy a new Mustang neck, as finding an American Professional neck is more than I want to spend

Here's my ghetto Dressing Room/Apple Preview mock-up

Nice! I'm jealous. That's exactly the guitar that I'd want if I was having a build done. I approximated a "jaguonita" by sticking some TV Jones Classics in a Blacktop Jag and adding a Bigsby. It scratches the itch but doesn't look nearly as badass as yours will!
