Honestly I think that the amp is worse than the guitar. It doesn’t make it any better... if he wanted to improve a Champ by adding a second speaker, why would he destroy the chassis?
wait is that an OLD champ?
I think the guitar is possibly the worst thing in this thread, on the basis that we can at least tell ourselves the other things were mutilated in the past when there was no particular value to these guitars
"Older" champ, so I'd guess a reissue. (Hardware looks right for that too).
The Jaguar baffles me. Just get a reissue body if you're going to chop stuff up. Parts guitar = parts guitar. Parts guitar + jigsaw = sadness.

It's like saying "I'll carve my name into this ancient statue, it's of no value anymore because the arm has fallen off."

Also from a purely craftsmanship perspective he did a real shit job of it. The saw marks are still visible inside the hole, like he didn't even bother to finish sanding it out. Sanding scratches all over the body like a high-school shop class student who hasn't learned to sand with the grain.

It would've been genius if he'd put it where the rhythm switch plate was on the horn. Still would've been immature and not to my taste, but genius all the same.

Yeah def, but they could have some sort of switch in the little jaguar, if you poked him in the eye you'd activate the rhythm circuit and spin his tail to control volume or tone, that'd be great.

Yeah but if you're getting interactive with the jaguar you'd have to make it roar somehow, which would require batteries.

You folk missed my point and and took it as I was advocating the qualities of this guitar which I described as ugly. Oh well, I was not expecting much anyways.

He could also hold the end of the strap in his teeth. OSG needs to do a DONE RIGHT version of this guitar.

A tenor-ified 60's SG
That one doesn’t bother me at all.

Yes it's completely fine, it's obviously been done by a real craftsman.
I particularly like the care and attention he's put in to making sure even though the neck is narrower than when it started, the inlays are still in the centre of the neck.

Yeah man, so many possible ways to make that little jaguar interesting and interactive and they just put it there for aesthetics only
