They're nice wee guitars.
The stock SD pickups are’nt too bad, but you might want to upgrade them to suit your style.
Sanding the neck smooth for better playability might be an option.
A neck shim is usually one of the most important upgrades to do on these guitars aswell Imo.
Im also in the process of refinishing mine in Matte black, and have stained the neck a slightly darker amber with some tinted nitro.
But if you spend your time trying to make your Jag like your Strat you're going to end up disappointed, Jags are very much their own thing.
I do agree that the stock tort is horrible, though!
You lose a lot of the traditional bridge tonal qualities and it no longer moves. You may prefer the non moving bridge, but it can detract from the character of a traditional Jaguar sound.
You will get more sustain with a Mastery, but you cease to sound as close to the original offset tone.
I prefer the Staytrem bridge myself or a decent Mustang one at a push.
I oiled the board, swapped the bridge, added a shim and got a decent pickguard from WD Music. Job done.
