Very nice
Apart from the Seymours, what'd you do to it?
Wait, I see a Mastery and Fender tailpiece. What else?

That's most of it, really. Seymour Duncan Firebird pickups, MIJ Fender trem, Mastery bridge, knobs from a Blacktop Jazzmaster, and I painted the headstock to match the body. The pickguard is also a custom mint green one from Terrapin.

Wiring is all stock, though I am considering wiring in a mini switch between the master volume and tone controls in order to split the bridge pickup.

I love it!!
Is the japan trem a real upgrade in terms of feel?
May we see the headstock??

Actually, the stock un-stamped trem felt quite good. I really don't consider the MIJ trem to be much of an upgrade in terms of feel, it was more for looks, to be honest. I've had a couple AVRI offsets and I do feel that the trem on those feels a bit smoother than the MIJ one, but really it's not that big of a difference in my mind. Of course, the trem on the 1965 Jaguar I used to own was perfectly smooth. I'm not sure how the AVRI ones differ from the vintage ones.

Ok, I was asking you that as I really like the feel of the trem on my VM JM. I understands that looks does matter, yours is really beautiful.
I wish I was able to do such a clean job on my JM headstock... I'm a sucker for those matching headstock offsets!

How's the sound with your firebird pickups??

I absolutely love the tones I get from the Firebird pickups. The SM-1N has been one of my favorite pickups for a long time and I've used it in a bunch of different projects. This is actually the first time I've tried the SM-3B "Seymourized" Firebird pickup and I'm really liking it. It's very close to a bridge P90 tone without the hum.

Sounds like a really nice rock'n roll machine

Here's my Squier VM Jag. I had someone on the forum here (garagerock4life) work on it for me and here's how it looks now (I'm pretty sure he works on commission and will take on your guitars too if anyone is interested). He just finished mine up and has a blog documenting the work he did to it and everything, but I'll make a separate post on here about all of that once I get the guitar in my hands (we're working out how to get it over to me at the moment). It was intended to look like an old OTM Jag with matching headstock from the 60s, with the famous John Frusciante Jaguar being a heavy inspiration for the OTM finish.

[funkyeah!]

Not a guitar but still a Squier offset

holy crap. i love this!

i think im finally finished modding my squier mustang...
includes fly shot...

[bubba899]

Still want to match the headstock, but need something else to test on first as this is fast becoming my main guitar.

DId you have to do a lot of routing to fit the Wide Range pickups in? I'm thinking about doint something similar to this, only whit normal sized humbuckers.

Yeah, had to open out the cavity a bit as well as making it deeper. Was a bit of a ball ache and I didn't do a particularly pretty job of it. Not sure how much it would take for standard hum buckers though.
