Under the guard you can see how much yellowing we are looking at...

The mustang in the second post is a perfect example of why FENDER SHOULD REISSUE THEM
Why oh why did they remove the trem system on the new models

Very lovely instruments gents..

EDIT: stoopid me, just noticed it's a jag-stang :fp: but what I said above holds true for these too, they are a thousand times better looking than the new releases, IMHO

Looking forward to all the sonicness in this thread, I really dig that color :-* Also not quite sure if I like or dislike the VI in front of the red wall :D

This looks absolutely incredible. I play Bass VI almost exclusively and yours is exactly what I'd do if I actually had the cash. GREAT job.

Can you upload some pics of the headstock? And a list of the mods?

If I was a byrd, I'd be mighty sore every time they shut the door and I don't think I'd sing...

Wow, its amazing how much better Jag-stangs look with two sing coils. I always hated that guitar... until now!

A much debated Jaguar that sold a while back here in the UK:

...and a Clive Brown refin XII from the same seller:

To be clear, neither were/are mine.
