you really don't...they're just so bad..

I've had a few and admittedly i could'nt get on with them, more the volume drop than anything though.

If you tweak the knobs right on your DS-1 as well on your amp you could get a really nice crispy sound, sometimes i love it and sometimes not, depends on the amp im currently using.

OT: Can someone explain for me what i should get and change on the guitar to make it as sweet as possible with a JB SH-4 in the bridge?

Having some problem understanding what "250"k and "0.22 orange drop" is and what they do to the sound with a JB SH-4 in the bridge.

250k is the old choice for a potentiometer (Volume and tone pots) with a 0.47 cap (connects between the tone pot and ground as a treble bleed) in single coil guitars, but i think a lot of newer Strat's and stuff use 500k these days and the 0.22 cap works better with humbuckers (higher output pickups).

The JagStang as stock comes fitted with cheap 250k pots and a cheap 0.47 cap, it does'nt compliment the guitar at all seeing as it uses a humbucker and is made of Basswood which is sometimes a dull sounding timber. So basically the new parts add more treble and take the dullness away.

Changing this lot over and fitting a Seymour Duncan pickup will significantly improve the guitars sound.

The JB is a popular allrounder pickup, personally i prefer the Pearly Gates or Duncan Custom. Its down to preferance and worth listening to sound samples.

Hope that helps.

wow thats really nice. I have a question. Do you have any paint flaws in yours and if you do is the paint really thin and chippy? Mine is the same as yours in the photo but it is a righty and everyone orignal jag-stang i look at the paint looks good but on the butt of mine theres a small paint chip and the paint is soo thin compared to my reissue which is soo thick of a paint/clearcoat that it feels like plastic lol.

SearchlightSoul

There is ONE flaw with this guitar yes...there is a chip about 1/2 centimeter at the very bottom of the butt - however it was caused from a pretty solid impact. I imagine it is on the thin side though. My mustang has gone through far more 'accidents' and it's in flawless condition.

I guess I finally get to join the JS bandwagon. Picked this badboy up a couple of nights ago from this guy that lived in Plano, TX. It was a 3 1/2 hour drive but it was worth it seeing as the guitar was only $400. I could not resist. Thanks to SS.org for providing the link. I'll post some newer pics up once I do some mods to it. It's also a '97 MIJ model. Is there a difference between MIJ and CIJ?

These are the pics from the ad.

That's not true. CIJ started in 1997 so the majority of the original run were CIJ.

I'm going to put that picture in my shed and build a shrine around it. I shall worship it every day and start a new religion. 😎

😆

DO IT!!

thevagabond

to be honest with you, i was searching for "custom jag-stang" on google a few days ago, and it leads me here, when i recognized mine. 😉

i was surprised to realize you were talking about my beloved one for months/years??

i was criticized about my mods on some forums, but you are great, i think!! 😉

it's a pleasure to be here.. 😡

shee needs to be rewired, the killswitch have to be replaced soon, and some other stuffs too.

but one day, she'll be ready to sound like no other one, i promise!!

just have to change a few things, it will take some time, but i'll do it for sure! 😁
