Jaguar. The more chrome, the better.

with a Xll, the control plat notch "recieves"
the pickguard. so a mustangs fits the bill better than a jaguars.
also, a jaguars is less "Tear-drop" shaped than the Xll's.

...thanks, b-obvious. My eyes weren't functioning well enough to look at the pictures he posted, so you explaining what they look like really helped.

the jaguar and mustang notch go into the pickguard, only the XII 'recieves'

I suggest that you cannibalize a Jagmaster and use that body, and throw a Jaguar plate or two on it.

.....yeah but i could get Aug to make me a body for less than the cost of a jagmaster.. I wouldn't have much of a need for anything else except the body....

used jagmaster parts 25 cent(unless the neck is shortscale?)

edit:plus an aug body would be a part of history!

the mustangs dual concave grooves create a recieving effect, much more than the jaguars does.

and shadow, i'm describing how the control plate would fit compared to a jaguars.

the "Mr.burns" nose shaped jaguar plate would look akward, it doesn't take much to greatly throw off the look of a guitar.

i voted for the Xll anyway.

the jaguar doesnt at all so it wouldnt be hard for something to look more recieving than it, but still the mustang one doesnt "recieve" at all. you need to learn to admit when you're wrong/made a mistake.

"recieving effect" as in an illusion.
are all you brits and americans socially illiterate?
