Guitar:

My girlfriend filing the saddles


Result: 11mm between G and D, 10mm between other strings. She managed to make the cavities of exactly the same depth as originals, so strings don't pop out even with aggressive strumming!


Think of the Marr jag as functionally the same as a regular jag, with the addition of the series connection and its associated series bright switch.gretschbigsby wrote: ↑Thu May 07, 2020 4:55 amSorry if this has been asked, but I couldn't find the answer.
Regarding the two strangle switches, does the "universal bright" switch have an effect on position 4 (in series) and the second switch has an additional effect on position 4
or
does the universal bright switch have no effect on position 4 and only the second switch has an effect?
Thanks!

Changing the pickguard is super easy. You should be able to handle it with nothing but a screwdriver.lexaunculpt wrote: ↑Tue May 26, 2020 1:26 pmHello everyone.... got a question.... in a word : PICKGUARDS
I've been scrolling through the hundreds of pages about the JM Jag and I see that some of you have amazing looking spitfire guards. I don't know that I can spend 250+ on a pickguard without getting eviscerated by my wife. Are there other sites that have compatible ones that aren't bank breakers?
Lastly, is changing the pickguard a big deal? I'm not handy and usually take my guitars into "my guy" for changes... I'm worried if I had to do anything beyond remove strings to swap the pickguard - that I'd have to unscrew a bridge or whatever and I would RUIN everything.
One last thing.... I love this bright red tortoise that seems to have come on the MIJ 66 Jags.... but other than spitfire which has a bright red version - everyone else has stuff that looks more burgundy. Any tips/sites????
Here's what I'm hunting for... colorwise:

Thank you!!
You'll need to remove the bridge, which is simply a matter of lifting it out of the bridge thimbles once the strings are off. On a Jaguar everything else (control plates, pickups) are screwed down to the body. Just remove strings, lift the bridge out of the thimbles, unscrew the pickguard screws, remove the existing guard, replace with new guard. Screw pickguard screws in, replace bridge, restring. Done deal!lexaunculpt wrote: ↑Tue May 26, 2020 2:10 pmOk - so I literally have to do nothing besides pop the strings off and unscrew the existing guard? nothing with the PUPs or the bridge???
No worries, you'll find most all the members of this forum are a pretty patient and helpful bunch.lexaunculpt wrote: ↑Tue May 26, 2020 2:28 pmsorry to be such a pest... so "lifting out of the thimbles"
Does this mean that the bridge isn't screwed in or mounted? Is there a specific height or any consideration when I put it back in - or is it one of those - you can't screw it up, it only fits in ONE way kind of things?
Thanks again - I just would love to not have to take it in for something if it's not necessary and I'm horrified that I'll do something lame with the bridge due to my inexperience/ineptitude and then it will need a setup and all that
