Reviving the Jagstang 2.0

[Fiddy]

Nooooo, no contours.

Hehe. Once I finish the template, I'll have a bunch made and open a shop to sell to you guys. This way you can individually decide if you want contours or not, if you're building one.

i'd rock one..... granted i'd most likely put a jazzy trem on it but i would still rock it

That would throw the WHOLE DESIGN OFF YOU MADMAN!

How about putting a Bigsby on one.

duo-sonic bridge?

the original jagstang was such a fucking train wreck of an eyesore, good to see a proper version being made, good stuff!

This sums it up.

By the way, what do you guys think we should do about depth? Fender guitars are 1.75'' deep, but mustangs are 1.5''. Does anyone know how deep the Jagstang was?

I feel like it might be fun to make a contourless slab body with 1.5, and another with contours at 1.75. Fiesta Red and Daphne blue, respectively.

I will not be doing Sonic blue. That color just looks like toothpaste when it's new.

I am just getting started on a new build and the body will be 1 5/8" thick, like some Fenders and Squiers. That 1/8" makes a big difference for parts installation and weight. I'd stay away from 1 3/4" on one of these. 1 1/2" would be really fun to play with the short scale neck but with a full 25 1/2" scale neck, it might be a bit neck heavy.

This will definitely be short scale. So maybe I should split the difference? 1 3/4' inch body depth?

Wouldn't 1 5/8" be the split?

I'm not so good with maths.

I'd go with the 1 5/8", too.
