Nice build. Always good to see another JagStang.

Looks more like a Mustang to me?

Re: Retroroc Band of Skulls Jagstang
Looking at the page of the brand that made it, it looks like they've done a few takes on a Jag-stang - perhaps a bit less jagy and more stangy in them all than the original Fender. Though a Jag-stang is basically just a Mustang with a much more exaggerated offset body.
Either way, I'd love Fender/Squier/other brand take on the Jag-stang to be more widely available.

Re: Retroroc Band of Skulls Jagstang
Just in case anyone here was interested, no affiliation. £600 for a brand new boutique built guitar seems like a steal to me:

Had I not recently bought a Fender Jag-stang, I'd have been all over this. Until now I assumed these would have cost more, not less than the Fender ones.

I like that shape, but the control plate is not a good match for it.

Re: Retroroc Band of Skulls Jagstang
Love the binding, love the color, love the pickup choice. Really a classy build. Agree with Seth that it would be ideal of the control plate angle matched up better with the body, but that wouldn't be a deal breaker for me.

Looks very nice! Could you perhaps ask the builder for an email address? I don't have insta or FB and would rather not have to sign up.

Re: Retroroc Band of Skulls Jagstang
Yeah. Specifically the red one. The guitar in the OP looks better in this department.

Re: Retroroc Band of Skulls Jagstang
I feel I should get a commission from these guys at this rate, but no affiliation.
Retroc have a few custom Jag-stangs going from £650.
Given that they're hand made in England and he's built for relatively big names (Band of Skulls, Black Keys), that seems like a steal to me.
I'm very tempted to buy one, but I've already spent enough money on musical instruments recently. Second best option: live vicariously through someone on here. I'd be surprised if at least one of them doesn't end up with an OSGer. Details in the Instagram post:

Beautiful guitars. Great price. Great colors. If I was looking for a Jagstang/Mustang, I'd be all over this.
