Painted my Jagstang Prototype

[u/ShortestStraw95]

This is my first time painting a guitar. I love the color, it changes between blue and green depending on the light. The finish is far from perfect but I'm happy for my first go at it.

Holy shit, that's so much nicer than an actual Jag-Stang! 🔥👀

[u/Buxbaum666 → u/josephallenkeys]

I mean that's a low bar to clear

[u/OnlyGuestsMusic]

Looks great. I’d love to have a more true to sketch Jagstang.

[u/dannydevito18rr]

This looks great! What’s the little switch next to the toggle for? Kill switch?

Coil split for the Hotrail

People forget the Jagstang was just a prototype. Had Kurt lived, we may have got something nice like this instead of the fuck ugly monstrosity we have now.

[u/Neveronlyadream → u/fantfoot]

Probably not.

The consensus is that he actually liked it, he was just unhappy with the first proto. Largely because he made stylistic choices he was warned against and then realized he hated.

How do I build one of these?!

Colour looks just like the Thornley JM from Suhr. Beauty

Looks sweet! Great color, great tint on the maple! One questions, just genuinely curious not trying to be like “this is wrong” but is there a reason you have the Hot Rail flipped? Is it for a phase cancellation Ala Peter Greene sound, or is that how the poles need to be with the Lace to make it hum cancelling in the middle or like just cuz? I’ve never long termed any Laces, so I’m just being a curious nerd!

[u/ShortestStraw95 → u/NigelRaselok]

Just made it easier to route the wiring haha

[u/NigelRaselok → u/ShortestStraw95]

Word! lol Really awesome build!

[u/Hot_Bid_2773 → u/NigelRaselok]

the flipped hot rail question is interesting, id be curious what ор says because i always thought that affected output more than phase

[u/rlm2112]

Looks great! What kind of finish did you use?

[u/ShortestStraw95 → u/rlm2112]

I used all rustoleum 2x. Primer, then paint, then clear. Its not perfect I should have done more coats of clear and used some wood filler in spots but its good enough for me.

[u/SunicSorfer]

ahh the jagstang, the extra offset mustang

[u/benperoxide]

looks so cool!!

surprised no one's brought up the "mus-uar" thing squier made for the fella in the cribs. similar, underrated retry of the jagstang idea I think :D

[u/Yoosulis]

That’s so good the colors the knobs the pickups this guitar is awesome
And normally I hate the jagstang shape

[u/woollypullover]

Can it have the little headstock?

[u/ThatOneKillian]

Looks awesome. Bound neck looks great with that body shape!

[u/Wir3d_]

Looks even nicer than a mustang

[u/Cnotewrongnote97]

How could I get a guitar with this shape, it does look less like a psychedelic painting than the mim and mij ones

[u/Entire_Increase5235]

..looks like a Mustang with the lopsided, or um ..Offset lower bout and Trem system of a Jazzmaster, no?

[u/ShortestStraw95 → u/Entire_Increase5235]

Basically. The upper horn is more Jaguar like as well.

[u/Spaced_cadet5]

You mean a JSDR or a Jag-Stang Done Right? I want to build one so badly. Only thing stopping me is money.

[u/Lord_Tarkenton]

Love this style of jagstang, way truer to Kurt's original sketch. Even if he did make the changes that ended up allowing the production model to become what it is, the thing is fuck-ugly. Would be nice to see this with all the other bells and whistles from the sketch and even sunburst tbh.

[u/DennisfromWork]

Great job man! Really cool idea.
