Nice. Well, next time you're here, I can make those mods I outlined...

I don't know what Ants has done to me, but this thread is now giving me strange warm feelings.

A dud batch of anaesthetic maybe?
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

I'm probably going to go full 1990's and put a couple of hotrails into it. The colour is pretty close to Dakota red. It's made out of leftover bits so I'm hoping to invest as little as possible into it!

Butcher block Mustang close to finished. This has been made from shitty materials and leftover bits from the parts bin. If it ends up being functional, that's cool, but as it stands it makes a pretty cool wall hanger.

Mate - looks fucking excellent!! Be a shame to just see it as a wall hanger though! Loving those block inlays. Is there much in the way of break angle over the back off the saddles?

No because I used a shitty Chinese bridge/trem assembly. If I pull it apart and bolster the 'cigar' with some washers I'll be able to achieve good break angle but as I've said for now, wall hanger. Need some cheap pickups first!

Kev speaks…actually, he seems to be popping up in a quite a few corners of the web these days.

I’ve never had a tuning issue with my Jag (standard bridge and saddles) even when it had ‘stang saddles fitted. I thought it was obvious that the bridge had to pivot on the bridge legs to wobble properly in tune :roll:

Does the Mastery lock it down or summin’?

Yeah, Mastery's a non-rocking bridge. Rocking Mustang/American Professional JM bridge works perfectly fine for me.

I inherited a Jaguar, MIM, sonic blue, with humbuckers.
Heavy little mother but quite fun to play.
Do I swap out the humbuckers for HB sized single coils? Not sure what's meant to be done to make it classic.
In life, don't sweat the petty stuff, and don't pet the sweaty stuff.
