There are 3 well-known offset Fender guitars: Jazzmaster, Jaguar and Mustang.
Jaguar is basically short-scale Jazzmaster (among other shings of course), but there is no "long-scale Mustang".
Main differences: (as seen on that "JM vs Jag" red-blue comparison picture):
- Neck pocket further from bridge, for ST/JM neck
- Upper "horn"'s bottom area moved closer towards neck (blends at 16th fret, like on ST/JM)
- Vibrato/bridge repositioned for intonation
- Plastic pickguard without metal cover
- Strat-style knobs
3 Pickups like on a Strat (couldn't come up with anything better), but with on-off-phase switches on each (series-off-parallel for the middle one? is it even possible)
Questions:
- Does the headstock look proportional? It was bigger on all Fender offsets, but Strat necks are easier to find.
- Would it likely sound like Strat (so there's no point in making it beside looks) or something else?
- Which wood should I choose in case I'd ask someone to make a body for me? Poplar/basswood or alder
- Was it already done before?
