I ended up doing very little to this one other than locking down the Bridge . . I did plan to fit a Gibson Tunomatic Bridge but that never happened . . It played well & sounded OK to me at the time so I kept it pretty much stock . . I was 53 years old when I bought this one but I only kept it a couple of years as I wanted to try out a Gibson SG or two . . . I regretted selling it straight away but I'd moved on and the Gibson SG I bought to replace the Jag-Stang was an equally great guitar to own . . . The Jag-Stang is a great pickup & play guitar, it sounds great with 11's, has a comfy neck, and a great build quality. I paid very little for this one at the time, £400 I think, and I enjoyed owning it . . so much so, I'm 61 now and I have recently picked up another in Red . . .
