I've decided to try to put a floating vibrato / trem on my CIJ Fender Jaguar Special HH. I keep lusting after other Jaguars, partially because I've always felt like this one is not quite genuine enough to the spirit of the line. I don't have the cash to buy another guitar and I'm NEVER going to flip this one, so PROJECT TIME!
Step 1: I bought a used Stew Mac locking vibrato tailpiece and a b-stock Buzzstop on Reverb.
My thought is that I can use cheap stuff to get the conversion done, then upgrade hardware as needed. I'm assuming I'll need the Buzzstop because I'm going to put the tailpiece far back. I realize the bridge may need to be changed soon.
Next step is to find or borrow a router.
Any advice, questions, etc.?
