Full Scale Belinda Jag-Stang

Post by HNB » Thu Jul 21, 2022 9:13 am

I got the itch to do one more full scale Jag-Stang. This time I wanted to use a Jazzy tremolo system instead of a hard tail bridge like my other full scale ones. I asked for Tele round overs and a forearm and tummy cut. It is poplar. I think I might get it painted in sunburst. Not sure yet. Here are pictures of it as it is coming to me.

Thanks! Yeah I am not a fan of slide switches. I have had too many crap out on me. :)

I have a Mustang body with JM trem route waiting to go! I am going to put lipstick pickups in it, or just one neck!

Cool! I am using super distortion in the bridge and a paf in the neck. :)

A forum friend made it for me. I don't give out his name because he doesn't always like the influx of messages and such. :) Very cool guy who has made almost every weird idea I have had into something real. :D

Silverburst will look great on this!

Well, silverburst looks great on everything.

I am still not sure what pickup config I am going to go with. 2 strat size lipstick and JM trem or JM hardtail! I suppose the point of getting the body with the JM trem route is for a JM trem route! :(

Control plate is almost done. I would have wired it today, but I was sent a gold jack instead of nickel by mistake, so I have to wait on a replacement. Also the toggle I was sent has no tip even though the listing shows a toggle with a black tip. Not lucky today in packages. LOL

Progress pictures are in for the silverburst. Pretty funky. LOL MJT did great. I am excited to see how it looks with it's other stuff on.

I wonder how this will sound! I did a parts Jag with the same pickup combo, standard trem & bridge (no TOM). It was really aggressive with a really unique sound vs a super distortion in a strat.

Wonder what scale length will to. Love the burst, too
I have nothing to offer anybody, except my own confusion?
