I'm putting together a DIY "Fender Jaguar"style guitar, or rather Jaguarillo (since it has a HSS pickup configuration), out of fancy Warmoth parts.
With an experimental hexagon pattern paint job on the back and a fake fhole to show off some of the wood grain.
Enjoy

Some Specs:
Warmoth Jazzmaster/Jaguar Roasted Swamp Ash Body
Warmoth Roasted Maple Neck, SRV neck profile
Seymour Duncan Custom Custom SH11 Bridge pickup
Bareknuckle Mother's Milk middle and neck single coil pickups

Gotoh Jazzmaster Vibrato
MustangStyle Bridge
Fender Locking Tuners


Wiring and switching like on an Ibanez AZ guitar.
Switchable true bypass active buffer curcuit (taken out of a pedalboard buffer).
