Revised: The Jagsby (Jagstang + Bigsby) build plan

johnnyswitch

The Jagsby

(well its a working title anyway 😛)

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

Not so sure about black and green but it could be cool.

Black and lime green = fvcking win

Cool beans imo. Good luck with the project. 😁

Looks really good. Perhaps better than the original.. 0_o

johnnyswitch

Thanks guys 😁

I made one with tortoise / cream, I think this one might be the winner 😁

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 😛

johnnyswitch

yeah, i wasn't planning on using the washer around the switch, that's just the only image i had of one lol. but i fixed it now 🚬

iCEByTes

too heavy visual.

go for White or mint pickguard.

Metal flat switchs , yellow plastic dont match.

duo it

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

johnnyswitch

thanks for the link dude!

i actually took someone else's jagstang mockup and modified it on photoshop lol.

i took the hardware graphics from the offset dressing room

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

🙄

iCEByTes

check that.

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!

iheartyou12

i like the look of the bridge mounting ring, would that work on a stang humbucker?
