Feast your eyes on Lilac, the Jaguar.
Started its life as a VM Jaguar, but the following was done to it:
previous owner sprayed it Lilac, with matching headstock. Not a pro job, but has nice character and overall pretty good where it counts. Looks like some gig-bag lint stuck to the butt end of the guitar after painting.
Pickups are Fender Pure Vintage set.
I performed the following:
Gutted the rhythm circuit and replaced it with a Faction Guitars blank plate in brushed steel.
Dirched the standard control plate and cut my own out of steel, just had a single 500k volume knob and an output jack.
Traditional Jag switches replaced by a Faction Guitars Marr style switch plate and 4 way switch, so now you have the option of series/parallel which opens up the guitar for huge sounds despite the stripped back controls.
Hand cut and shaped steel Trem plate which replaced the cheap pot-metal trem plate, engraved with DIRGE.
When I got this guitar it did not have a Vibrato bar. I am including a spare bar that I had laying around. It works, but the shaft that inserts into the Vibrato is a little short. You may want to replace this bar. Luckily they are cheap to replace.
Currently set up with D’Addario .11’s with the stock bridge. Stays in tune well, has a neck shim to keep action low, and I’ll ship with the neck on so there is no question about how to set it up again.
Will ship in a gig bag.
