Lefty 25.5 scale jag

Post by jnewton » Tue Jun 05, 2018 1:15 am

I didn't build this, but it's mine. It's got a single coat of black so the walnut will wear through.

Here are the specs: 25.5” scale; 5 piece Walnut and Oak neck; Ebony fretboard inlaid with Abalone dots and glow in the dark side dots; Walnut body with a thin top coat of black; Sperzel locking tuners; buffalo bone nut; stainless frets; two-way truss rod with dual carbon fiber support rods; Mastery bridge and trem; Mojotone knockout jag pickups; Faction control plates; 4-way switch; treble cut and bass cut roller knobs and a kill switch in the top horn; volume, tone, and Switchcraft input in the bottom plate; all pots are Bourns; all capacitors are Sprague orange drops; treble bleed circuit added to master volume; fabric wrapped wire; copper paint shielded control cavity...

It was made by https://www.instagram.com/jmlinstruments/. There are some videos of the build as well.

Nice looking all around, but that neck IS killer!! How do you like the Jag sound with the longer scale?

Wow!
That looks really cool! The neck is super-distinctive looking. I don't think I've ever seen anything like in on a Jag-style guitar before. How does it sound?

It sounds more like a jazzmaster to me, weirdly enough. I really dig it.

I got the plates from Faction guitars.
