I have two Jags, got my first one in 1964 and I've never liked the 3-switch setup they have. That's why I switched mainly to Jazzmasters. — Jack Booth (aka WoodyJ) The Mariners (1964-68, 1996-2005) The Hula Hounds (1996-current) The X-Rays (1997-2004) The Surge!

PrestonRice Joined: Oct 05, 2012 Posts: 1725 Austin, Texas	Posted on Mar 04 2013 07:43 AM Beautiful. Is the upper rhythm circuit plate in use? It looks to me as if there are no switches there. Are they custom pups? Did Fender design them to your specs? Or are they standard but rare...??? +1 on the Fender Wronski and those switch plates. — IMO. Top

In the future I may do something tricky with that control plate. They are stock pickups from the new Jaguar. Not for sale except with the guitar. Top
Noel Joined: Mar 15, 2011 Posts: 8528 Back in Piitsburgh, Pennsylvania, where I grew up.	Posted on Mar 05 2013 08:27 AM I've been reading about the fabulous necks of '63 Jaguars in comments by Jake D., Matt L. and others here almost since I joined SG101. I finally have to ask, "What makes them so special?" Jeff from Crazy Aces just described a '67 Jag as having a wonderful, full big neck. My own CIJ has a very thin neck that I find cramping after a while. And the neck on a 50th Anniversary Jag I recently played was just as uncomfortable for me. Didn't Johnny Marr make sure his new signature Jag has a neck based on his favorite '65. And you (Dave W.) reuse '63 necks on your guitars. So, what is so special about these necks? — This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got. Top

I've always kinda wondered what just a blank plate would look like... might be too minimal for some, but I think it would look pretty clean. — Mike http://www.youtube.com/morphballio Top
CrazyAces Joined: Jul 31, 2012 Posts: 4052 Nashville, TN.	Posted on Mar 05 2013 09:21 AM Noel, I should clarify that the '67 I played the other day (and am still lusting for, LOL) had an unusually fat neck for that period/year, which is why I liked it so much. Although there are characteristics from certain periods in regards to neck profile they are only a mean average and not a rule. Years and periods such as '57, '59, '63' early 70's definitely show a pattern in relation to shape and contour but are also related to the laborer who performed the shaping, final sanding and machines used which means that not all necks from a certain period feel the same. — http://www.facebook.com/CrazyAcesMusic http://www.youtube.com/user/crazyacesrock http://www.reverbnation.com/crazyacesmusic Top

Thanks, Jeff. That's useful information. Since I have no use for speed necks, this helps a lot. — This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got. Top

And you (Dave W.) reuse '63 necks on your guitars. So, what is so special about these necks? I'm not sure how consistent the '65 necks were among each individual model, but it seems that the one Marr modeled his series after was 'chunkier' than the '62's. I didn't even buy the JM Jag for that reason, but I love the neck now. — Mike http://www.youtube.com/morphballio Top
