I'm thinking about parting with one of my Jaguars to fund a new purchase.
It's a 96' CIJ Jaguar with the following mods:
Mastery Bridge
AVRI tremolo/tailpiece
Novak Pickups
Cloth wiring
CTS Pots (500k)
Paper in wax cap
All switchcraft electronics
Earvana compensated nut
Better quality vintage style tuners
re-grounded and added ground to tailpiece route
wired to have the pickups in series when you switch both pickups off
signed by dick dale
hard shell case
Essentially everything has been upgraded besides the wood.

Sadly, the quality of the upgrades won't really reflect in the resale price.
Do you still have the original bridge and pickups? If so, you should put them back on. The upgrades won't add the $370 to the guitar that you spent on those products. Sell them separately they have amazing resale value($10 less than you paid for them and they will sell).
$700-800. The prices online are pretty misleading, they high priced CIJs just aren't selling. The color is important to the sell price, so that might have an effect. Block and bound?

Unfortunately it's just oly white. No block/bound.
I'm not sure where any of the old parts went. Might be gone. 
I guess if anyone sees this and is interested. shoot me a PM.

Somebody should buy it, the upgrades are incredibly sharp. The wood on the CIJs was always fantastic and it was just the hardware/electronics that weren't AVRI quality.
