I must be confusing him with someone else. I remember a photo of you with some other member of the forum and you two had two Broncos
Were they in Denver? (American sports joke)

Looks like me and Rob are Jagbruhs - I found some plain covers online, although I think they're 3D printed so kinda grainy and weird rather than shiny plastic, but a cool 'chalkboard' vibe all the same.

The black covers look really great matching with the switches.

Ohh those are fun. Kinda squared off on the sides like proper jaguar covers. Mine are just mustang covers and I ripped the claws off

Love the Fiesta Red. I’ve often been tempted to do a matching headstock on mine.

The Player Jag has already been booted. I got it as a sweetener on a trade deal. I traded it for that Vintera Mustang cos I knew someone who was looking for one. I then traded that for an old Strat Plus Deluxe(sacrilege, I know).

it is amazing what they can do with 3D printers, though, and i bet the fit super snug and appropriate. i guess you could sand/polish them if you were looking for that fender-y feel.

This is the newer series one and feels much better made than the older one. I bought one of those when they were released. I’d looked at a load of them just to find one that didn’t have a QC problem. The newer one feels more like a quality instrument. Heavier bottom E string is a must , same as before.

I remember when you got the Fiesta Red Jaguar. Such a gorgeous guitar.

I got the body from someone here. The original owner had butchered up the front with some weird pick guard and the front was filled in and refinished in black. It's a shame that is was done to a vintage Mustang body but it plays great.
