Good job and nice looking guitar!
I'd restore the switches and bridge too!

It's not about the gear! It's about you, your hands, your imagination, your feelings.

Re: 63 Jag headstock repair
I'm going to leave everything as is for now since it plays really nicely at the moment, and as a Gibson fan I have no hate for the tuneomatic. Might pick up some vintage switches and a bridge to hold onto just in case I ever decide to sell one day, but this one feels like a keeper so that's unlikely. The trem is really responsive but goes out of tune a lot without a proper jag bridge, but I'm sure that adding some graphite and widening the bridge slots would quickly fix that. I never use the trem on my guitars so it's really not an issue anyway. It's kind of weird that jags are my favourite guitars, but I never use the trem, rhythm circuit, strangle switch, or mute. I guess i'm just in it for the looks.painted wood wrote: I like the toggle... easier to switch btw. pickups. although, I'd buy an original switch setup too, and hold onto it.
Are you going to restore the bridge and mute? Does the trem. function well?
