I have just bought a Jaguar second hand. I had an MIJ jag, which i sold and have now bought a vintage white CIJ.
The main problem is the pickguard. The screw holes all line up properly, but it seems to invade the neck pocket slightly, meaning that it has to lie in such a way that the pickups dont lie in line with the guard, meaning they have to be set low. Anyone experienced this before?
Another question is, the pickups are sitting on little pads that hold them up. Is this the way in which the american jags sit too? Id like to change these out and use springs for the pickups instead, is this a worthwhile mod?
And lastly the tremolo. The one on mine has been abused, and the tremolo doesnt sit tight anymore. Is is a worthwile mod to straight swap the CIJ tremolo for a US version. Someone told me they are a bit tighter and worthwhile changing. Any other positive things?
Thank you.
