I say go for it. The original issue had the option for a hardcase, and that particular hardcase was made specifically for the Jag-Stang. Fender no longer makes them. The case they list on the Fender website is just a normal Mustang case which only fits the Jag-Stang AFTER forceing it in. The Jag-Stang is just slightly too long for it to be a good fit. Trying to find a hardcase that actually fits the Jag-Stang correctly (without getting one custom made) is NOT easy. I often contact pple selling their Jag-Stangs with the original case on ebay asking for the case by itself, but haven't had any success yet...
