Squier jag into a 1966 spec

Post by palesnow67 » Wed Aug 16, 2017 3:49 pm

***edit( how do i make the pictures show up on this post, not as a link?***
**edit (answered, obviously lol)

HI guys! Just want to show off the work I'm putting into my 2015 vm jag in surf green (obviously hehe)
so far i have the mute installed and had the bridge cover lying around (didnt know the 65 mustang's bridge doesnt fit these cool guys , but it all worked out in the end right?!)

ANyways so I cant decide fi i wannt put the shielding in now or when i get the vintage spec jag wiring kit off ebay (if i do it now then i have to cut wires and solder etc and i love that stuff but damn im lazy rn this month haha)

Here is the list of all the parts i need:
warmoth binded jag neck
matching headtstock with a 65 fender jag logo
vintage jag wiring kit
65 A.V. jaguar pickup set
65 tremolo (dont need the bar, i alreayd got a cool one in cream )
65 mustang/jag knobs

Here are some pics!

The brass shielding and possibly (when im bored) a jb jr i have had lying around from my 69 reissue mustang back in 2012 ive put in and out over a million times because "teh kurtz tone" back as a teenager haha

Looks great... Now all you need is to send the neck to me for a color matched headstock!

In fact i might just do it to the original neck for now until i get the warmoth and then just get another surf green body so i have a back up hehe

I think it is because we aren't supposed to advertise stuff or services for sale outside of the thread for selling things. :)

I'm sure someone already posted about this, but let's face it, it would be a ton of work looking around to see which post it's on

how do you remove the duncan designed pickup logo?

Right-click on the pics in your links, select 'open image in new tab', then you'll get the url that makes them magically appear on this site and others. I've saved you the time and effort, but using the preview button will confirm you've done it right next time you want to post an image.

Only going on VM Jazzmaster experience, but on those pickups I just scratched the logo off with my fingernail, practically just wiped off. You could wetsand with fine sandpaper and polish for a more graceful effect I'm sure!
