Hi I'm resuscitating this thread because I came across it wondering if I'm the only one who wants a Mary Kaye Jag. Love the Jaguar look but don't like the 24" scale.
Last year, after many years of wanting to, and planning for it, I finally did a conversion of an '05 CP Jazzmaster into a 25.5" HS Jaguar. It's become one of my favorites, but I also have too many sunburst guitars.
I started thinking about switching to gold hardware, and that led me to thinking about going Mary Kaye with a refin or a body swap. Problem is, Mary K + Rosewood just seems wrong for me, but so does a Jag with maple. What a dilemma! Anyone tried either of these?
