can you get blank jag plates?

I'm pretty sure you can somewhere. If not, you could get some normal ones and just leave them empty/do something cool with them like a tone bypass or something.

EDIT: a quick google search reveals that there are no commercially available blank plates, but that doesn't mean you can't get a bro to make you some.

The idea is tempting... this is still a while off... but.. it's gonna be a tele neck on a jazz body.. and I was thinking I don't have a fender all single coil type guitar.. I don't know.. the big ugly guard might win out depending on the color.. which might be trans grey, orange or white.. I can't decide if I want to go sci-fi or construction machine LOL..

Update a bit.. exchanging emails on the guard... Thinking on SD 1/4lb strat pickups in the jag spots still not sure on color...

Here is a quicky mock up...

still in talks aboot guard..

I'd play the hell out of that. Might look cool with chrome covered Tele pickups in both positions too.

Hmm... That could be done.. but I have never really liked tele neck pickups my self... on the other hand I am not sure if I will keep it or not in the end.. I am thinking though about doing a 7 string on it though [octave Gs] because I have a tele neck that already has the extra tuner..

Fair enough. Big ass G&L MFD's might be cool too. 7-string Tele neck sounds potentially pretty awesome as well!

But then I guess it wouldn't really be a Fender-type single coil guitar at that point. I'll stop poking my nose in your business now.

Hey original idea was firebird pickups... and no not a seven string neck though.. it a normal neck you just double up the G like on a twelve. It's a really cool sound, a guy I play with does this on acoustics.

Oh damn. That's a cool idea. What do you do for the nut and tailpiece? Roll your own or just use 12-string stuff and leave the other slots empty?

Well last time I did this was actually on my tele [the one I turned into a bassVI / Baritone] and I had the low E doubled, I just added a slot in the nut and the bridge had top or through body holes so I just had to put a extra groove in the saddle.

This time around I am using a mustang bridge so I can easily re-slot and a tailpiece the is fingered so it isn't a issue at all.

Word. Very cool.

Pickguard finally ordered... Tony kept forgetting about it

so.. what color..?

I'm thinking: Orange, whitewash, army green, or natural..

I'd be down for any but the orange if it was my fiddle.
