Vintage Jaguar Wiring Parts

[tommyga]

Gents,
I'm having an MJT/Musikraft LEFTY Jaguar done. Would this be the right thing as far as electronics go?

That looks like it has about all you need for standard wiring except the knobs to go on the main pots. It does have the bracket to mount the smaller pots and the thumbwheel knobs for them.

Just want to point out that those switches are white, which is totally fine if you like the look, but is not correct if you're aiming for vintage style (as per the post title) - you'd need all black.

Greetings to a fellow lefty

Also worth noting that the large pots in that kit have an audio taper (as opposed to linear), so will not be particularly useful when wired lefty (particularly the volume control). It’s a very noticeable difference.

Your options are:
1. Learn to live with a really “jumpy” volume control
2. Wire the pots right-handed
3. Buy lefty audio pots (at least for the main volume control).

Cheers,
J,

JVG, (and gang)..yeah, all of my Strats and Teles have (I guess) right pots on them. The volume control does not really work correctly..and the TONE?????.. it's either off or on..kinda like having one of those Gretsch tone switches. You know what I mean? I'm 62 years old, and they've always been like that.
