My new Jag-Stang

Bought a Tele blackout a couple of weeks ago, ended up hating it, and posted in on craigslist for trade. Was looking to get a mustang or jazzmaster when a guy messaged me about a Fender Jag-Stang. I asked him to come trade the next day.

I've been wanting one of these for quite awhile, and even though the guitar had some scratches and dings, I still traded him. He had replaced the bridge pickup for a Seymour Duncan Invader which I absolutely hate, but I'm putting the original back in today until I can get a Seymour Duncan JB (which is also what I have in my Les Paul). He also told me that it was a reissue, but after looking up the serial number (T01XXXX) I found out that it was actually made in 94-95.

Still need to get a new pickguard, tremolo arm and definitely want to replace the tuners for some grover locking ones. Its also pretty dirty considering that its a 15 year old guitar and wasn't taken care of as much as I care for my guitars, but I'm gonna get this baby cleaned up, and sounding better.

Heres the starting picture, but im gonna take more before I start anything, and then definitely get some final pictures.

thanks for the fix! don't know what i did wrong. anyways, i've decided instead of putting the stock pickup back in, i want to put a gibson burstbucker in that i've had laying around. the only problem is it has one hot wire and then the cable wrapped around it has to be grounded. don't really know where to ground it to though since its too big to solder to the actual ground or the selector. any thoughts? BTW, this is my first attempt at soldering a humbucker so i'm already confused to begin with. i've done plenty of research and feel comfortable doing it myself once I figure out a good place to ground it to.

Try soldering it to the back of one of the pots.
