Full Scale Jagstang Project

Post by HNB » Tue Jul 28, 2015 11:14 am

With my white Jagstang purchase issue, I decided I would go a different rout to get a white Jagstang. I am going to have cooterfinger do the body and I might have one of my friends build me an all maple neck. When it is done, it should look like this.

The details:

Full scale maple big headstock neck.
String through body chrome bridge.
Body mounted humbucker. (White with white ring.)
Toggle on the lower horn.
Less pickguard screws since it won't have slider switches.
Normal angled single neck pickup mounted to pearl guard. (The guard will have a small gap around the mounted humbucker like a Telecaster Plus.)
Body contours on the back and forearm.
Alder body.

What a sexy beast!

I assume you're going for the shape of the actual released Jagstang and not a Jag-Stang-Done-Right like a few people around here have done?

Correct. Normal shape. It has a big body, so I think it should look good full scale. Might have a little better visual balance.

Yeah, full scale will probably look much better! I really want to make a guitar with the JSDR body...

I actually like the Jagstang body shape. I just prefer contours. :)

Progress pictures. The body is cut, neck pocket is cut, roundovers are there, and the bridge and string holes are drilled.

Me too. Pretty excited to see how it looks when the guard change and routing is done. It is going to be something special for sure. :D

A slight deviation from the plan. I got a Strat neck with rosewood and smaller headstock for pretty cheap. I think it should look cool.

Decal design fits the headstock well.

Thanks! I think it is pretty cool. It is drying at the moment. I will start clear over it tomorrow. :)
