It has to be between my Jag that I pieced together from vintage pre-CBS parts or my AVRI '59 Strat |

Gratified that you like it. The finish is special, black french polish lacquer, like a piano. Took forever to get the whole thing together and I can't find anything wrong with it. The custom pickups have an amazing range of tones and the action is great. Just wish it was 1/8 larger... — |

Blackbox - It's awesome to see the Mr. Yuk sticker on the Jaguar. I put one on my old Teisco pseudo-Mustang long ago (the guitar is my profile pic, though the sticker isn't readily visible). |

Strats for me, even though I've owned and enjoyed many other types of guitars. —Deal with reality, or reality will deal with you. |

I assembled this from parts, thinning the neck to what must be just above the truss rod. Switching gives me 26 different combinations of the 5 different pickups with distinct and useful timbres, counting bridge humbucker split and unsplit. The bridge humbucker is so close to the bridge that it sounds halfway between a humbucker and single coil, and has plenty of chime in humbucker mode. In split mode it sounds fine combined with another pickup or with the tone control cutting treble. The pickups combine two at a time gorgeously. I painted it to complement our black-and-white band shirts. The bridge saddles have rollers. The vibrato block has glued-on lead weights for sustain. Punky headstock original design. I used this guitar with the second-to-bridge single coil Rose Mariposa pickup to record "Shootout" on the "Guitar Fun" album. The song received first prize in the Dallas Songwriters Association Competition.
