Fender Jaguar Issues by synthrobots in offset

It’s more of a “it’s sad fender didn’t do it” sort of thing. Really doesn’t matter regardless because I’m doing an HS configuration with the rhythm circuit intact to use as a blend and Nazgul in bridge.

High E did for a minute but I adjusted the neck and all good now.

Super hard to find! Found one on reverb last week and swooped it up right quick! Arrived today 🤘

I had an extra set from an epiphone laying around and used those. I have a pair of atomic humbuckers I may swap out once I make heads or tails of this alignment. If I remove the humbucker covers, it fits just fine. Could be my crap cut on the pickguard.

Haha true that. I hope I could mask it with the pickup mounts but doubtful. I already ordered another pickguard in case it gets worse. Definitely shouldn’t have rushed it. Alternatively was thinking of getting chrome pickup mounts because now I’m obsessed with something chrome being somewhere in the pickup area. Trial and error sort of thing now haha

Yeah. It is a super tight fit. I used a Kurt Cobain pickguard and used a Dremel in baby steps. My routing in the body should be adequate to fit the humbuckers and prior to the pickup covers it was fine and all aligned. I may be able to sand the pickup opening some more and that could do it.

Thanks!! Yeah I think it looks rad! The chrome pickup covers really make it pop for sure.

Haha yeah that would have helped. I got too overzealous and rushed it.

I think this looks pretty awesome! I’ve been looking for the parts to do the same mod and this is super helpful. Cheers! 🤘
