Surfburst on a Jaguar?
I’m embarking on another sparkle quest and am planning out a surfburst refin project on either a Jaguar or JM. At the moment I have 2 JMs (sunburst and OTM) and only 1 Jag (black), so I’m inclined to add another Jaguar to restore balance to the universe.
What do you all think of a surfburst Jaguar?
From what I’ve read, surfburst was originally done on a JM, Strat, and P-bass, and it seems more common to do it on a JM and pretty rare to do it on a Jaguar. This is the only photo I could find online of surfburst on a Jaguar. Going with a gold pickguard might look a little weird against all the chrome, and the parchment/cream guard looks good to me here. But the original JM looks incredible, too, and I’m torn!
EDIT: I'm making this a multiple choice poll. Everyone loves a poll! Thanks!
EDIT2: Added block & binding as an option to the poll.
Surfburst Jaguar:
Surfburst Jazzmaster:
Matching BLUE headstock:
Matching BURST headstock:
No, blue sparkle Jaguar is THE WAY.

I like the look of the Jaguar. The gold doesn't seem right to me, but maybe it's a bad angle

Super awesome looking with the white guard on the Jag.
Chris from Texas Toast just put out a great video on a pinkburst Jaguar he built, has lot of great Fender paint history in it.

Re: Surfburst on a Jaguar?
Thanks for the feedback so far!
I think I'll edit the original post to make a multiple choice poll... what to do with the headstock? hmmm... or do I really want a blue sparkle Jag... too many decisions!

Re: Surfburst on a Jaguar?
Painting a guitar in surfburst without a matching headstock should be a crime.
Silly Rabbit, don't you know scooped mids are for kids?

You can grab a matching-ish p90 tele for relatively short $ too.

Oh sorry to the few who just voted. I added blocks & binding to the poll and it deleted all previous votes... Thanks for your input!
I might be feeling the whole shebang - surfburst jaguar with burst headstock and B&B.
For that understated look

Blue sparkle Jags are pretty awesome. No personal bias here
You could also split the difference and do a blue sparkleburst. No personal bias there either
I never really got surfbursts, but whatever you choose, the answer is to go with a matching headstock.

The only option on this poll should be blue sparkle.

Re: Surfburst on a Jaguar?
We need to get our votes up, I'm counting more posts supporting blue sparkle than votes in the poll!
