Offset chat

I inherited a Jaguar, MIM, sonic blue, with humbuckers.
Heavy little mother but quite fun to play.
Do I swap out the humbuckers for HB sized single coils? Not sure what's meant to be done to make it classic.

I would. Offsets with humbuckers just don't sit right with me. Would you be able to mount standard Jag pups with a new pickguard?

Yes, so would need a loaded pickguard from Stratosphere.

Do you know which model it is? Sounds like the Vintera '60s Jaguar Modified, on which the humbuckers are splittable, I believe.

This sort of thing?

Humbucker-sized P90s might be good for a laugh. Would need some wiring adjustment, maybe.

New pickgaurd and proper Jag single coils with the funky saw tooth shields.
Can recommend the fender AV 65 as a good run of the mill set.
I have a variety of operations somewhere that night suit.
Think I have some q pickup hot for Jag ones and an AV 65 bridge.

Exciting.
Having an offset is a dirty transgression.

the funky saw tooth shields.

Curious….has anyone figured out if they do any credible shielding? Anyone stuck one in a strat to compare to the others?

You guys are giving me offset GAS.

I think they probably do something. Maybe not shielding but I wonder if they alter the coil/magnet behaviour in some way.

you've got more than one kidney, ive got a desirable offset. Sure we could work something out

Call me sick...but...I quite like that Lots of verticals and horizontals reinforcing each other in the design/layout. Bet it would look great under stage lighting...the colour-way (body, fretboard/pick guard) is cool...but I'm seriously colour deficient...so yeah...call me sick

Didn't realise your GFR was heading in that direction.

Oh yeh they probably don't teach you that in psych school. It doesn't get better with age. C.f wine

Exactly this guitar.
HBs look good but don't sound thin and skanky. Skank is my bag.
