I've been collecting '63 Jag bits for about a year now, just snagging pieces here and there as I find them. A couple of months back I had found both a neck and body separately on ebay. The neck had a white headstock refinish and the body a really off looking attempt at sunburst. Here they are together, just before I sent them off to Curtis Novak for a refinish and forgot about them for a bit:
A little while ago, they came back at a really busy time for me and were stored with the other bits and pieces until I could drag the whole project out and take stock before pushing on.
So I went looking for it in a spare moment today .. ah, this looks promising ..
.. yep, definitely the right case ..
.. and there she is:
Curtis did a very nice job on the BMM refinish .. the artificial light here doesn't do it justice ..
You can see remnants of the previous bronze-coloured finish down in the routs (I asked Curtis to leave the inside of the routs since you can just make out the '63 pencil date in the trem block rout) ..
Matching headstock, very nice ..
Funny how all these Jag necks were made on the first of the month ..
..
Not much grain pattern on the neck, but a nice dark piece of rosewood ..
Beautiful tort guard, courtesy of our own Soiouz ..
Any other stuff in here?
Yep, vintage pups, trem block, mute, shielding and bridge .. '63 neckplate and repro Klusons from Marc .. repro vol/tone plate and knobs from Doug ..
Vintage switch plate and rhythm circuit plate with some spare wire ..
.. satisfyingly cruddy looking old pickups and covers:
So there we are. Just a few more aftermarket parts and I can get going .. some extra cloth-covered wire, a nut blank, trem block screws, pup claws, and so on.
More soon, I hope .. this'll be my first Jag and I can't wait to hear how it sounds!
and thanks for the "roman-photo"
