So I’ve collected almost all of the parts to put together my jag. I’ve put together about 20 partscasters or so, but never a jaguar! So what I’m looking for is any advice or tips or suggestions for videos - anything that says, “hey – this is the order in which you should do things”.
Also I would like to hear any tips or tricks that anyone has for assembling a jag. I know that there’s people on here with tons of experience and I’d like any possible info you could share with me that you think might help.
Thank you!
Any good advice/suggestions/videos/tutorials on how to assemble a Jaguar?

I would also appreciate this, since I'm in the same boat (though I've only put together 2-3 partscasters) and will be doing the same thing later this year!

Re: Any good advice/suggestions/videos/tutorials on how to assemble a Jaguar?
Most of it is no different to any other guitar - right parts in the right places etc. HOWEVER, the wiring is complicated so I would wholly recommend using colour-coded wires like they traditionally did and feed them all through the relevant holes/routing before soldering anything and linking different parts. Cut an extra inch more each end than you think you'll need...you can always trim later. I tend to do all the long interconnecting runs between cavities first, then add in the bits that are easier/shorter. Pickups are usually last.

Silly Rabbit, don't you know scooped mids are for kids?
