Nice collection Haze. 8)

What's the story with the black Jag on the right? Is that an HH that you're converting over to single coils? Are you going to leave the stock TOM / stop tailpiece, or...? There's a guy over on HC with a Jazz HH and he used a Vibramate to install a Bigsby on it... I think he left the humbuckers on his though. Still, I thought it looked pretty cool with a Bigsby on it.

Yep you nailed that one. It is a cij hh jaguar that I'm putting jag pickups in, I've put blocks of mdf to raise the depth of the routes and have thought about doing the vibramate mod if funds allow it but I would like to riots out for a proper jaguar trem

haven't posted a pic of this since i added the mint guard. it was the worst fitting guard i have ever seen. it was too long be a good few mm's and lay over the bridge plate and control plate. the only tool i could find was a coping saw so I went saw crazy until it fit.

69 RI body (sonic blue) and hardware
66 RI neck. the japanese ones that came in california blue or something.
MINT GUARD.

That Mustang is pure class. Nothing looks better on Sonic Blue, Daphne Blue or Surf Green than a mint guard.

Shame about the fit, but it still looks fantastic.

tossed a jaguar neck on my `74 mustang and rewired it..
the first thing my dad said upon seeing the guitar was "um.. son, i think you may need to strip it and give it a paint job"

There was a thread in the Pub, it's Stewart's '72 Comp Stang.

I bought it, he bought his Jag - everyone happy.

It sounded fierce last night at rehearsal.

I love the bronco knobs on the CV Duo Sonic! I would do the same but I may save those for another guitar project down the line. They are definitely going on the Musicmaster.

Very nice guitars. That aged red is gorgeous but I'd be glad to have either one.
