@andrewaward had a feeling you'd have something to contribute!

I'm another that took advantage of the awesome offer at Andertons last year. It's taken the place of my no.1 Jazzmaster for now, took some adjusting but think I'm getting there with it!!

Done some mods - A2 overwound pickups from @mojopickups which are fantastic and full-sounding was a big upgrade, along with Staytrem arm/collet, a 250k tone control and the series/parallel wiring mod. I did try two 250k pots to start with but it lost its 'balls' for lack of a better word. I found keeping the 1meg volume pot meant the output was very full while the 250k tone/47k cap brought the treble under control. Use the rhythm circuit plenty too in this configuration!

I did try a Staytrem bridge (love it on My JM and Bass VI) but the break angle on my Jag is so steep that strings were resting on the back of it. The stock bridge seems better than the others I've seen, might need some glue on the low E saddle at some point though

hey @Trotter, what's going on with barry? is that a strat neck on a jag and you've moved the bridge and tuned it down? looks nice.

My fantastic Jap Jaguar.

Mastery bridge... sorry to the purists. Currently has AVRI pickups but will gain some from Marc at Mojo at some point in the not too distant.

Don't mind admitting I'm jealous as fook.

What do people think about the stock pickups on the Johnny marr jag? I love the way it feels and plays but haven't been as happy with the sound. Considering some new pups.

It's a Japanese made baritone special from I think 07ish? Very well made and sounds bonkers! Pretty rare, took me a while to find this one.

That burst looks very bill frisell

Yep! Wanted an un-matching headstock on the blue one so I had planned just to sand it and get a new decal but saw Bill Frisell's Jag and went with that idea instead (including getting a white pickguard)!

I think they sound nice enough as stand alone pickups, but I don't think they sound terribly like a Jag.
