Thanks Z - I switched out the bridge because most posts I read said it was probely the easiest fix. Though I still get some metalic overtones. I am hoping that heavier strings will solve this problem. Though last night I picked up the Jag and strummed her for about a half hour and no metalic overtones/ and that was with 9's. The "Jaguar" a strange Beast to say the least but I love her. Gasee

I got the Mustang bridge, and still got some slight metallic buzzy overtones, too, at first.

First, I changed to "power slinky" 11's for strings, and most of it went away, but there was still some sort of phantom remnant. I finally solved all the buzz by using a water-soluable, clear-drying white glue adhesive between all the moving parts of the bridge. I glued the saddles together sideways to each other, and I put some on the height adjustment screws at the bottom of the posts, as well. I also put a little silicone putty at the bottom of the bridge sockets to prevent rattle there. I also found that the length-adjustment [intonation] screws were a litt loose in their threads, and that some nylon tape helped.

A light coating of clear acrylic enamel over everything works, too, but it takes longer to dry. Some folks dampen vibrations between bridge parts with lubricants, and that would kind of work, but on a Mustang bridge, it could get a bit greasy.

If you use an adhesive to stabilise your bridge- just make sure it's of a type that can be easily broken for purposes of re- adjustment.

This is my Newly finished rig. I used to own a gibson les paul classic but i played on this jag and i knew i had to get it. I sold the Les Paul That night and bought the jag the next day and i love the sounds i can get out of this thing. I bought it this week so its still all stock but i ordered a different pickguard thats coming in tommorrow and i will post some more pics after then

My latest. In my current gigging arena im still nervous to use the 64 Jag due to stuff like our bassist getting his Jazz pinched so i got this CIJ in a trade.
My second sunburst model, its nice, put a SJag-2 in the bridge.

Reminds me of my Jag What's the body made of?

Purdy. Never heard of those amps before.

All the CIJ sunburst Jaguars are Alder, the earlier block color CIJ/MIJ models used different timber (maybe basswood) but they are all Alder now.

Very purrdy. AVRI Jag or Jap? RRR CP? Dunno if it really looks like the trem is routed higher though..I can't make a good guess.

[paltic]

the jag is a Japanese re-issue, sorry for the "not so clear" imagery...what do you mean by rrr cp?

[Fran]

Nice collection dude. Good to see another 'Starsky & Hutch' Toronado kicking about again

[paltic]

got the inspiration and recommendation from you man...its the first offset guitar that stood out for me because its got an image of its own, and easily be idetifiable as a "Fran sig guitar" ...well for me thats your mark, if not in the guitar world, in the internet world i think you're the only guy endorsing this thing. everytime i google this thing, your name appears on most of the links. i remeber browsing into your old myspace page and saw that background pic of yours with a red fender strap and that guitar(awesome pic btw)... and that temporary asylum vid made me drool

[Fran]

Glad i inspired someone
Its long gone now though dude. The band packed in and it seemed a good way to close that chapter. You must now carry the flag

PS. Did you see these videos we had up? RIP TA & Toronado.
