So I've decided I want a Jaguar...But with 3 P90's for pickups. I like my current Jaguar a lot. But I feel like every guitar would be better with 3 P90's in it.


How do I go about getting this stupid thing? Seems like all Jaguar bodies are routed S-S. No swimming pool routes for some reason. Warmoth doesn't give the option for a swimming pool route either. What's up with that?

How difficult is it to route it into a swimming pool route from the standard S-S route? I could buy a Squier body painted the right color for cheap(Surf Green, duh).

I would spend some time asking techs in your area about routing it and search for swimming pool bodies in the meantime. I think a custom job is going to be the best bet though. Jags aren't all that common and to my knowledge rarely had pickup variation like that.

I wouldn't diy it personally unless you've got the right tools and a little experience.

Or you could be like me with my 80's strat and get in there with a hammer and chisel and hack away until it fits. Then go back to the original pickups anyway.... but I like the bathtub, gives it a nice open feeling of something or other.

Just kidding around, I just finished my play-test of my new 2017 Fender Elite Stratocaster and I'm about to put my strings on it and set it up because it's loving awesome. Then I can play it maybe ten minutes and go to bed because I have work today and Saturday god dammit.



Seriously the setup on this Fender is fantastic, the pickups aren't very vintage but they're fun; and the neck...

Well let's see how it likes light-top/heavy bottoms.

I finally own a real Fender Strat, and it only cost twice what it should have. :v:

I keep picturing somebody playing a lone solo on that thing at some open mic night, and ending it with a sick rear end whammy divebomb that violently shatters the whole top and makes the guitar collapse in on itself.

It's called the string "butler" because it's completely unnecessary and if you have one I hate you.

Plus, I love that the guitar they are using looks like a Chibson. That ain't no open-book/mustache headstock I've ever seen, Gibson logo or not.

A swimming pool rout would be easy enough do yourself if you've got any experience with a router, although you'd also have to make a new pickguard and re-do the electronics.

Don't forget that you'd need to scour the paint with a sharp knife to avoid chipping when you rout it!

I quite like them, I think the colours are a poor choice though and some fret markers would be nice.

the one of the right vaugely reminds me of a Burns Bandit...
