HH Fiesta Jaguar

Did a detour and swapped this white body for a fiesta one I had. The white guard just clashed with the aged white body too much. The red accent line looks good with the fiesta body.ainobaka/]Christopher Louck[/url], on Flickr

Can’t wait to see how this develops.

Sounds interesting. While I have never been a fan of the artists John 5 has played for, his signature Teles have been some of my favorite models, that white one included.

I routed the body for humbuckers today. Went really well!

Neck came in. This one is getting the Jag headstock. They are Warmoth necks. :) I applied Stewmac Vintage Amber dye mixed with IPA. Later today I will add some maple stain to the necks to darken them a bit.

Started adding clear. I ordered tuners, pickups, plates, pots, switches, and bridge. Should have everything I need to finish it up once that stuff comes in.

Got the bridge, tremolo, and strap buttons installed. Waiting on plates and pickups to get more done. :)

Some more parts arrived today just a little bit ago. I am leaving the upper plate empty and I am also only putting in the two pickup switches in the switch plate. Kind of doing a stripped down to just what I would actually use for this one.
