Jagstang bridge and pickup switch

2tone10

Hi all - I just picked up a 96 Fiesta Red jagstang! It needs some work however....

The first thing I need is a white pickup switch. Does anyone know of a good source? I am assuming it is an on-off-on. The second thing is a question I have on the bridge. Is the bridge supposed to "float" in the two body inserts, or are there supposed to be some bushings that keep the bridge snugly centered in the body inserts? That's if for now, I am looking forward to bringing this bad boy back to life!!!!

Thanks,

Tom

its a floating bridge!

welcome in, how is the body of the jagstang?

The body of the guitar looks like it was used to commit a felony. It's got a few healthy chunks out of the finish and a couple of dings ( I call it mojo). The neck is in great shape though and has no fret wear! It actually plays quite nicely. The neck pickup sounds nice and full but the humbucker, well it is probably out of phase since someone did some creative wiring to bypass the bad switch, so it sounds very thin. Overall I think it will be a nice player when I am done.

Thanks for the welcome and the info!

I will post some pics when I get a chance. So you think the humbucker is working and is in phase? Sounds very thin.... The front switch is the one that was broken and the way it has been re-wired I can't run both pups at the same time. Oh well, I will order up a switch on Monday and have already found the wiring diagram, so I will keep you posted.

its an on-on-on switch but the one that says on-off-on is the right one i think.

the humbuker is really weak.
