Yep. That's all it does is cover the holes. They're plugs found from a hardware store so the guy told me. I quite like how clean it looks compared to metal showing
Ah alright. I'll keep an eye out when I head to the local hardware store next week. Need to look for supplies for the bass I'm in the process of setting up.
New addition to the family here. 1965 Jaguar. Some new hardware, but all original wood and electronics. Had been stripped and nitro'ed sometime way back. Beautiful weather checking now… Sings like a beautiful little bird, this guy.
I gotta say man, it plays like a dream. I got it at Southside Guitars in Brooklyn, and the guys there in the repair department do some kinda magic on these old guitars. The action is nice and low with very little string buzz. It's really resonant, and has a ton of sustain (kinda weird for a Jag…) The frets aren't all worn down like some other, older Jags that I played. Really nice action on the trem too. So much fun to bend and warble everything while playing little lead lines.
And the pickups – oh maaaaaaaa, the pickups…. On the rhythm setting the neck PU sounds almost like a humbucker. So thick and wooly. And then on the lead setting they're nice and full and articulate with more crisp top end. The bridge pickup with the strangle switch on is the perfect thin, cutting post-punk tone. I was playing that setting through a Fredric Effects Harmonic Percolator the other night and was lost in heaven. So good.
