The Jagsby
(well its a working title anyway :P)

Posted Image

Mahogany body, lime green paint job
Maple neck, rosewood fretboard, 24.75" scale
Bareknuckle P90s, black pickguard, no slider switches, 3-way pickup switch, tele-style jack
Bigsby B5 (Fender logo) + roller bridge

I'm still going to try the lime green paint. If I can't mix up a good colour, I'll fall back on seafoam.
So as soon as my holiday ends, the paychecks will begin rolling in again, and I'll get started on this bad boy! Thanks for all the input getting the plan together guys, it really helped.

Now, anybody know where to pick up a Bigsby B5 with the Fender logo on it?

it's definitely one of the more interesting designs I've seen. It'll be cool to see the end result
would it bother you more if we used guns?

Dun put the little plastic circle thing around the toggle switch, it totally kills the look imo. I like the rest of it though. It's too bad that glow in the dark stuff wears off after a few hours, if it didn't I'd tell you to paint your guitar glow in the dark, it'd be so awesome :P

You could just take out the part with the pickup, but then you would have to get like an original
Jagstang or mustang part to replace where the strings go on


Oh and where did or what website did you get that designed

that or he could simply by a reasonably priced roller or tune-o-matic bridge from guitarfetish....

Is that jagstang for real? or is it a photoshop job? It looks absolutely fantastic! I love it! What are the specs? all those switches and that bridge? Awesome, just awesome!
