When I set out to modify this Jaguar HH, little did I fully understand the bridge and string break angle issues of most offset guitars.

But after the conversion to single coil and upgraded AM Pro bridge did I realize that the original HH had the tremelo set 1.5" further forward than traditional Jaguar setups, thus allowing more string break angle to the bridge.
Lucky me!
It definitely is more stable than a " correct period" Jaguar layout.
Makes me question why there have not been more discussion on making custom offsets with the tremelo tail shifted forward to accomplish this age old issue?
Before the Vintera instruments came out, there was a MIM Player Jaguar that had the tailpiece closer to the bridge and single coils. Before I bought my Squier CV 70’s Jaguar, but couldn’t find one. I actually pulled the trigger on two, which were advertised on eBay, but as it turns out, neither seller actually had the item, so I ended up with two PayPal refunds, in a row. I’m happy with the Jaguars I now have, but I wouldn’t have minded having one of those Player Jaguars.
