So, I've owned Jaguars. I'm a big fan. They look awesome. However, my Vintera had all kinds of issues. It was kind of shitty.
So, I bought a Rosser painted Jaguar body. The main rout is a universal swimming pool, so a nogo on Jag pickups. It pissed me off at first. I got these Creamery dominos. They look like wide range, but they still only have 6 magnets, They sound freakin awesome.
The upper switch cavity was a weird rout shape, so I just kind of jankily chiseled it out. worked great. (Top switch is the choke switch, BTW.)
This is a USA Trem, which rocks, but these arms don't include a tip. I had to get a tip, which didn't fit, and build up the bar with masking tape and superglue. It worked splendidly.
Now, onto the neck. This is a $58 china ebay special. I lucked out, because this thing is REALLY good. I may replace the cheesy plastic nut, but at this point, it's perfect. It's roasted maple with binding and a satin lacquer finish. This would have been like $540 at Warmoth.
Here's the first Jaguar I've assembled.

Very nice, that color reminds me of my old car. I have a can of that paint and thought about using it on a guitar. $58 for that neck! That's unbelievable. I like that you simplified the controls.

Awesome! The creamery dude is a good dude.

Re: Here's the first Jaguar I've assembled.
Thanks dude. Great question.
The six magnets you see are all there is. There are no magnets under the cover.
Usually, in a wrhb there are twelve magnets. You just see six.

Interesting. How does that affect the tone?
