Introducing the Jag-Stang Registry
Hello everyone! Today we are introducing a new section on jag-stang.com called the Jag-Stang Registry.
As the jag-stang becomes a rarer and more unique guitar the Registry aims to understand where all the jag-stangs have ended up around the world. At the same time it intends to give jag-stang owners a place to show off their guitar no matter if it has been modified or is stock.
So we welcome everyone to check out the new registry. And especially if you are a current or even former Fender Jag-Stang owner we welcome you to add your jag-stang’s info to the registry!

After I crafted a bunch of “standard” bodies, I decided to merge the guitars from my two favorite bands. Kurdt’s Jag Stang, with Thurston’s Jazzmaster. – Garagetone
Nice work Garagetone!

We bring you another fantastic jagstang project in this post. Comprised of a Warmoth made jagstang body and neck AJ put together a really nice guitar here.
Some of the specs from AJ’s “Gold Top” jag-stang are:
- Warmoth jagstang body
- Warmoth 24″ neck
- compound neck radius – from 10″ to 16″ radius
- Gibson style frets
- Bridge pickup – Seymour Duncan: Duncan Custom SH-5
- Neck pickup – Seymour Duncan JB Jr. SJBJ-1
- Tuners – Schaller locking
- Bridge – Warmoth; which is much more adjustable than the stock Jagstang / Mustang bridges
