This stuff was all drawn up years ago as a high school student who had never played a Jaguar before, back when I was half to believing all the myths about the tremelo and the bridge on it (that it can't do dive bombs, and stay in tune, and so fourth). I was primarily into Alternative at first, but always had a liking for 80's music too, so I crossed the two influences, and here's some stuff I've came up with back in those dark days of 1995-1998. I figured it'd be interested to model these up and see what they look like.
My First Idea, Jaguar w/ Reverse Headstock and 3 EMG pickups
Then It Cut it down to two after playing a Les Paul custom and deciding I did not like the sound of three humbuckers
When the wolfgang came out, I wanted something a little more "upscale" looking, so I came up with this, and decided I could maybe substitude a Jackson style neck of some sort, not giving a thought to the fact that ANY Jackson is not a 24" scale.
Here's one from my Van-Halen phase...ha
Here's Possibly the most "offensive" of em' all, this sucker had an AMAZING wiring diagram too, tone controls for each humbucker on the lead circuit, 2 Seymour Duncan Invaders, a Kahler Trem, a Jaguar pickup in the middle, circuit independent pickup switching, and a 24" scale 24 fret neck with a Gibson Explorer style reverse headstock, and black hardware.
After getting my Jag-Stang, about 2 years before playing a Jaguar (and changing my view on 2 humbuckers and a locking trem completley), this was my idea for awhile, a Floyd Rose equipped Jaguar, so I could find parts more easily should it get beat up during gigs.
Then, I played, decided I liked, and GOT a Jaguar, amazing how much actually playing one changes your desires. I went from that monster with HSH and a locking trem, to finding THIS to be absolutley perfect. Only difference between this and a stock jag, the pickups and lead circuit pots (500K and SD Cool Rails, and all in all, it still sounds very close to a bone stock Fender Jaguar). The original plan was to return it to bone stock with a black pickguard and pickup covers, but the cool rails sounded so close to the original, I could not justify $120 to put in new pickups and pots + all that trim I wanted to change.
