Very pleased with this. If I had a spare £800 it would have a vintage Jaguar body. But I can't imagine it would sound much better for it!

(Still can't believe I wired it ok first time - something will probably come loose soon enough!).

Looking good. Take it the Mustang neck is the vintage? What year? - they're superb necks in my experience.

Mid 70s for the Mustang neck. Looks great, behind the flash of that picture, and feels nicely worn in.

Not convinced by the body colour - I was going to go natural - but this was cheaper and can be sanded down easily enough if I want to change it.

That looks very cool. I wouldn't worry about the body colour, I think it works nicely with the tort plate.

Sweet! Looks ace.

Thanks. It's a really thin coat anyway so should wear nicely anyway.

Slight honeymoon period, maybe, but I am mightily impressed with the AVRI 65 pickups too. I now know the Jaguar Thinline pickups are not up to scratch and will probably go to Mojo for those to give something a bit different.

Can't wait to get home and start playing again...

That will wear in lovely.

Looks really good to me!

Thanks. Still plays and sounds amazing so I'm not intending to do anything other than play it now. 

If it ain't broke....
