Nick had this for sale pretty cheap so I picked it up. I asked Nick to add a bridge pickup to the pickguard so I could put two pickups in it. I also added a switch to do series/parallel. The pickups are Jaguar pickups with the claws removed and Mustang pickup covers. I am tempted to up the pots to 500k to brighten up a bit, but will leave it alone for now.

Just looked at my amp and one of my kiddos must have messed with my knobs. Tone and Mid were at 5 instead of 10. It is bright enough.  |

Yup, super cool shape <3
Like a reverse Jag-Stang with less booty and some Ric 4001 thrown in for good measure |

The funky body shape is pretty comfortable standing or sitting. It balances well on the lap and the contour of the body fits nicely. It is almost like a body contour instead of a belly one. LOL |

This thing is super cool. Series/parallel was a great idea.

It is nice. I am guessing it is from a Squier Mustang or Jaguar. (Modified headstock shape and such.) |
