emg 89 neck (active)
Jackson J135 middle (passive)
Jackson J70 bridge pickup (passive)
1vol pot, no tone kasi occupied na ng battery.

weird but working para pag wala kang battery gagana pag meron mas maganda.

pero planning to upgrade to emg pups all active and black sperzel locking tuners and put a tone pot and battery cavity. pero sa ngayon masaya ko sa guitar ko and no rush and no money to upgrade.

haha sorry mark busy sobra sa trabajo at pending na lipat ng apartment hehe. tapos naghahanap pa bahista lol.

ung strat pa lang nalagyan namen ni jents. ung LP baka pagkalipat ko na this weekend.

anyway, after mainstall nagclaro ung mga nota, though it felt a bit thin. then after ko masetup to an acceptable action at maintonate, dun lumabas ung sustain. will have to test it hopefully by friday if may makuhang bahista, if not next week pa hehe.

i can say that results will vary pa din per guitar.

Started as a stock CIJ Fender Jaguar. Mod and upgrades were:

CTS pots.
Switchcraft jack
Sprague Orange Drop Caps
Mustang bridge
Mint green pickguard
Custom upper and lower control plates
3 slider switches pickup selector replaced with an Oak Grigsby 4-way Tele switch (wired as bridge, parallel, neck, series)
Rhythm circuit replaced with 2 'bright' switches (Johnny Marr wiring)
White/cream knobs and switches
And just this afternoon, I've shielded the cavities with brass plates that I fashioned from a hobby shop brass sheet. Similar to this kit, but only cost me $3.50 and some elbow grease

Just perfect. Love the guitar man.

Bart · « **Reply #289 on:** August 22, 2012, 03:04:47 PM »

Cheers, mate. The Marr mod really opened up the Jaguar. The combination of the 4-way switch and slider bright switches has given it more tonal variations.

Hello fellow forum-ers!

beginner guitarist ako en meron po akong Squire bullet strat. One time nakahawak ako ng Fender Strat tapos napansin ko na ang gaan sa kamay pag nagpress ng strings, dikatulad dun sa strat ko. Naisip ko nasa bridge yung problem, ano bang tamang bridge setup..tsaka parang yung 1st string ko mas mahina yung volume than the rest.

had the same problem sa guitar ko when i was jus starting. para bang acoustic guitar ang feel nung squire mo compared dun sa fender? nag adjust lang ako ng string height... that did it for me. hope it helps.
