My Jaguar project

[punkisdead83]

***Update*** Help me pick a neck humbucker. I want something warm and chimey but not flabby or boomy. that will match the high output bridge pickup i went with (http://bg-pups.com/humbuckers/hellabucker-bridge/) The wiring harness im getting comes with 1k pots and im currently torn between the 59 and the alnico pro 2


I'm in love with it already!




I also already chipped it trying to drop fit the neck

UPDATE: Here's what i've obtained for the build so far.

Neck: Pull from a Classic player Jaguar
Body: Guitar Mill, Aldar Jaguar, universal route for humbuckers, daphne blue, nitro finish
Bridge Pickup: Hellabucker from Bryan Gunsher in CA http://bg-pups.com/humbuckers/hellabucker-bridge/
Pickguard: Mint green, custom cut from Decoboom https://decoboom.com/collections/pickguards
Bridge: Fender Tremolo, Nashville tune-o-matic, Excenter bushings to mount the t-o-m https://www.rockinger.com/en/parts/hard ... ickel?c=69

I like it! Pretty good working with Guitar Mill?

Nice congrats. Can you let me know if you have any issues with the pickguard lining up over the lower plate with the 3 switches. I had to use a chisel and widen that route on mine. It was about 1/8” too far foward with everything else lined up and using a USA Fender pickguard.

Congrats. That's a great color. Looking forward to seeing it finished.

Thanks guys, its a daphne blue with mint green guard routed for humbuckers. The guys at Guitar Mill do great work & the body is georgous, but in full transperency their communication could use a little work, the body took about 7 months instead of the quoted 16 weeks, and rarely had any communication unless i initiated the contact. In the end I do plan to do another future build.

rarely had any communication unless i initiated the contact.

Sadly, this seems to be WAY common with companies these days. It gets really old.

Lol. Are they outsourcing from China, or what?

I used Guitar Mill for a lightweight Jazz bass (NBD coming soon....) And I selected lightweight alder. It was supposed to be around 8 weeks and I got it in 6. It wasn't painted, just a bare body. And it was SUPER light. They seem like a good company. I am excited to use them again.

Can't wait to see your build!

I'll update the progress so far in the original post!
