Re: sleazy's highschool jaguar restoration project.
so, wee bit of an update. as always with jaguar builds, i've had to modify a pickguard that was meant to fit first time. but it turned out pretty ok imho. also, yes, that is a red switch tip.
and my friend pointed something out and asked for a picture.
i have a soft spot for 90's things in candy apple red that some people consider dated and passe.

Probably too late but mint on a car jaguar is the only way to go for me.

Re: sleazy's highschool jaguar restoration project.
s_mcsleazy, I'd be curious to know which penitentiary your former bandmate is currently doing time in on his pedophilia rap. Because I bet he is.
Back in the mid-late 80's, I owned a pink paisley Telecaster, ffs (one of those Japanese reissues), in a small town in Georgia (where the hair was high and the trucks were low). Care to take a guess at how much grief and horseshit I took from the resident Hank Jr./Molly Hatchet brigade? It just made me keep/play it longer. The idea of selling it never once crossed my mind.

Re: sleazy's highschool jaguar restoration project.
it wouldn't surprise me. dude was pretty shady. tbh, he was one of those guys who thought his opinion was the only one. that got tiring after a while so i just blocked him on all social mediapscates wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 7:47 ams_mcsleazy, I'd be curious to know which penitentiary your former bandmate is currently doing time in on his pedophilia rap.

as i get older, the less i care about what my bandmates use, as long as they like it.

Re: sleazy's highschool jaguar restoration project.
Exactly. It's their stuff, their tastes, their style, etc. I don't think I'd like to be in a hillbilly/rockabilly band with someone playing a neon green spider-web B.C. Rich, but if they were a player, nailing all the parts and were happy, that could just be a visual quirk/hook, I guess. Maybe the orange Gretsch thing is played-out and run its course at this point?
Not quite sure where goofball saw "gay" and "pedo" in a candy red Jaguar. Many of us would give our left something-or-other to own such a guitar. He sounds like a real peach.

Re: sleazy's highschool jaguar restoration project.
so slight update. i got some parts from johnny, thanks again man, hope the cats love their treats. out of curiosity, i decided to look at the guitar with a set of black covers i had and....... well part of me is now debating if i should use these as the temp pickups OR just do my initial pickup plan. all i know is the thing looks pretty evil with the black covers and saddles.

Re: sleazy's highschool jaguar restoration project.
I like both ideas but the angelic pearloid pickguard ain’t doing it for me with black pickups/saddles. YMMV
Damn cool guitar, BTW.

You're welcome man.

I like the Black covers, they tie in with the knobs nicely IMHO
Silly Rabbit, don't you know scooped mids are for kids?

Re: sleazy's highschool jaguar restoration project.
i agree but if it's anything like the pickguard on my black jaguar, it will age pretty quickly.Norrin Radd wrote: ↑Sat Jan 29, 2022 8:10 amI like both ideas but the angelic pearloid pickguard ain’t doing it for me with black pickups/saddles. YMMV

Re: sleazy's highschool jaguar restoration project.
The black covers look pretty good, mostly because it ties in with all the other smaller black plastic components (knobs, wheels, switches).

Re: sleazy's highschool jaguar restoration project.
so. i got a bug up my ass and decided the best way to spend a saturday night was to finish it off. still needs the sticker and the light in my living room is shit but hey.
sadly, the only strings i had to hand were roto 11's AND the nut is as crap as i thought. but it sounds great with fuzz
