www.jag-stang.com

Seriously, I think that some of the posters here would be happier over there (that's not aimed at mccconncccheeahchchcaaiiiaaa, by the way).

By less cluttered do you mean that Jag-stang still doesn't have any members after we all came over here?

Yeah, but nobody posts anything. The forum is much slower and a lot less information on it than over here.

Basically, js.com is like a junior/mickey-mouse version of ss.org.

We're only bitching because you're fucking stupid. Modified guitars are not worth ANYTHING. You're 15, that means Mummy or Daddy bought you your Jag-Stang. One day, when you get actual real life money you'll realise how stupid you were to hack up your guitar with your leet GCSE DT skills.

If you want to modify guitars, that's awesome, and it's cool that you've already started that. But modifying a production guitar that is out of production is just insane, whether it is a KURTDZZ guitar or not. Squier yes, discontinued Fender, no.

eBay is littered with vintage guitars that idiots like you thought would be cool to modify because there were plenty around. Well now how stupid must they feel, repeatedly having to relist their item because it's not hitting the reserve price they think it deserves, constantly comparing it to the souring value of guitars bought in the same year as theirs.

You can stay over at Jag-Stang, enjoy your homoerotic fantasies about Jag-Stangs and doing pro mods to them together, or you can stay here and perhaps learn some new stuff about modifying, get some sound advice and generally enjoy yourself. Either way, we don't care, but we're not going to fight for you.

Actually, no.

I paid for my jagstang by working on paper rounds, buying, selling and trading other guitars and pedals. And I'm sorry if the fact that I don't want a sucky 'teh kurtdz' guitar with shitty pickups and a terrible sound bothers you.

There is no other guitar which has the same trem, body shape or style for £200. I just wanted better pickups, more tonal options, less noise, more playability, a trem arm that doesn't fall out every two seconds, a strap button that takes straps, tuners that stay in tune and my own style!
Plus I can put it back to original by painting it the original colour and putting the pickguard back on.

No you can't. That's not original. That looks original, but you'd be a criminal to sell that as an original guitar.

And lol @ paper rounds, I was going to make a joke about that you might've worked paper rounds instead, I wish I had now. Trading guitars and pedals? What, were you born with those, or were they gifts that you did not pay for? Fact is, you're not earning, so why don't you grow up and start looking after your finances now?

At the end of the day mate, you can do what you like, but if you're going to be a knob you're not going to get a lot of advice. You came here asking how to paint your guitar, and unfortunately on this forum we have opinions and we love to share them. Look at that banner up there, we're a nice bunch.

I would never sell that as original.

I would say what mods I had done to it and that I put it back. I'd also be throwing in the pickguard I cut for it already.

And as for paper rounds.....whatever makes the money dude. And yeah, I got a second hand DS-1 which I realised was made in 1996, someone gave me £50 for that (crazy I know) then I bought a £30 epiphone SG with shot switches and sold it for £150 and got going from there

let him do what he wants. if he decides to sell it it's his own fucking fault that the value is gone.

but like malik said, saying you can "put it back to original" is bollocks and selling it as such would be wrong.

It would be original in appearance and sound and of course I would mention the new paintjob and routes. And better pickups too.

New pickups only add to the value of a jagstang because the originals suck

Yeah, the neck pickup ain't bad, just doesn't really work very well with the rest of the guitar. But the bucker is pure suck
