The neck is great and that's definitely a good idea. But, would the Jagmaster pickguard fit on those bodies?
I am liking this- http://www.warmoth.com/Guitar/Bodies/Vintage/SplitJazzmaster.aspx... Does anybody know if the bodies come pre-sealed and ready to be painted or would that be extra?

Edit: I just realized nobodies mentioned Ibanez' Jetking series.

Sorry man,this guitar is like vintage,and it's very unlikely to find it for a decent price,with the vintage collectors doing their thing and all that...I've been in the studio for a rehearsal,and the guy that runs the place showed me what he got for,like $220...a framus jaguar copy.I wasn't impressed by the looks of it,or the weight of it,it was like holding a feather,too damn light.But when I plugged it in a tube amp... It didn't had the sound of a jag,rather a mustang,but what a sound for the money...totally vintage...AND louder than humbuckers...maybe.I was shocked,I've played a similar framus,but with one pickup,instead of two on this guitar,but it was nothing to rave about...but this was awesome.Needles to say,I went home kinda bitter that I didn't found it first.

This wasn't much of a help,but I had to say it,I still can't believe it.

Jagmasters ARE really cheap, I bought one brand new for $290.

but the new ones are 24" scale length, the originals were the standard fender 25.5.

oh i see

Actually,the original Jagmasters were the Vista Series, which had a 24" scale. The ones with 25.5" weren't made until 2001-2002, and I believe they're part of what's called the "Standard Series".

right on. i wonder how often the 25.5 inch ones come thru ebay?

a buddy of mine has one of those other guitars that was like the backwards body shape and reverse headstock. i can't think of what they're called...

You mean squier supersonic?

I check once a week, and I see 'em about maybe once a month. They've ranged from $165 to $320... I got the silver one I'm using now for about $180 w/ free shipping. Couldn't pass it up. But, I also see a lot of them with custom pickups, pickguards and finishes.

And, CWY's right- it's the Supersonic. I've tried one, and it sat really awkward on my body.

word. i've always loved the shape of those things in pictures, but i've never spent any real time playing them.

My bandmate had a blue sparkle Supersonic, and I loved the shit out of that guitar. Sadly, he had to sell it to fund building his custom Tele deluxe. >sigh<

I still miss the Supersonic.

there's a black 25.5 jagmaster on ebay right now, BIN is less than $200.

That's shitty- I'm broke.

I've decided to convert my sx tele to a jazzcaster. I'm going to put the JM pups and a tremolo on it. I have to scrape some cash together.... So who knows when that will happen. I'm really wantig that JM tone right now. Hopefully there won't need to be a TON of routing. Could I do it with a dremel? Or a drill!? I don't have a router and don't feel like paying any guitar tech 100 to do it.
