Danny, You've done a spectacular job on the Jagmaster. |

I have a jagmaster (see my icon) and I want to rip out the p90s i put in, and put in twin single coils or even 3 like a strat. Has anyone done this? or for that matter anyone ever built their own pickguard? —http://reverbnation.com/Bodysnatchers |

Here is a question since we are talking about modding guitars.. maybe a little off topic... but here goes.. does a standard strat sized single coil route in a pickguard accept jaguar style single coils? To me.. the Jaguar pickups seem a bit larger and more rectangular shaped compared to a strat pickup which seems smaller and more oval. |

I'd estimate many 1000's of people have built their own pickguards. Make a template out of 3/4" wood and then rout your blank using a bearing bit. Or saw it out with a jigsaw and smooth the edges with a file. —Danny Snyder Latest project - Now That's What I Call SURF I'm back playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta |

Received my Jagmaster Vista today. Not sure if I recognize the pickups though. The input jack is a little scratchy, but otherwise it's a cool guitar. Also came with locking tuners. Price: $299. —I want to hear Caravan with a drum solo. Last edited: Nov 12, 2011 01:56:45 |

I've owned 4 jagmasters and 3 of which I bought from members here and one on ebay that had Gibson burstbuckers in it. Loved 'em and miss 'em all too (especially Danny's) Here a Chinese made one currently on ebay and not a bad price. Last edited: Nov 11, 2011 22:37:32 |

Regarding replacement pickups on a Jagmaster; if the slots need to be routed for SJM-1's, would you be able to avoid this by using a SJM-3 (Quarter Pounder)? They look a bit narrower. I'd like to use a humbucker-sized single coil if possible, but keep it simple. —I want to hear Caravan with a drum solo. Last edited: Nov 12, 2011 02:08:45 |

Holy thread bump!
Yes this is exactly why I stand by my 6+ year old statement. I'm glad you are enjoying your guitars though! —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

Reviving a very old thread here, but I'm excited to see people discussing this guitar here. Still someone reading along here? basically I completely fell for the looks of the Jagmaster and feel it could be an interesting project. It's unlikely I'll be able to find a CIJ one at an affordable price (see quite a few in UK, but they are all pick up only), thus it'll probably have to be a CIC II one. Thinking of coiltapping it and maybe replacing the pickups for something more useful. But I've never done anything like it and have no idea of the potential costs associated with that. Or whether the guitar is really worth it. Just the looks though... |

Yes, I realized that. That's such a shame. I start to feel more that I want a guitar that I love, and one that isn't massively big. This might be too big for me, similar to the Jaguar. I think I will focus on finding a nice reissue Mustang, SQ Mustang, or maybe going for the bum guitar (Jag-Stang) and do a bit of work on it. |
