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 f-hole 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 SH-11 Bridge pickup
Bareknuckle Mother’s Milk middle and neck single coil pickups
Gotoh Jazzmaster Vibrato
Mustang-Style 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).

THIS VID DESERVES MORE LIKES
Tide pod guitar! Looks delicious! Mad respect
Cool editing man , good video , and that is definitely a unique color theme on that jag man! Sweet it's super cool cause I can tell it makes you happy as a player and if your not inspired by your instrument then you will never play it so ! Rock on bro!!!!
At first j couldn't understand what the fuck you were doing, the whole thing just looked like a mess but then I saw the final result and it looked really good. Sounded amazing as well
Dude! I love your build!!!!! So going to mod my Jag☆☆☆☆☆
I'm an Aphrodite from Afanca with no concept of what a guitar is or was,
yet I found your video quite enjoyable.
Pemok Valanta.
Dude you're fucking insane, the guitar turned out like shit but the video was great, subscribed.
Just got my The Fret Wire kit. It already has the Jaguar, HSS configuration. I'd like to upgrade the pickups to silver foil (mainly for appearances). This will be quite a challenge since I don't actually play.
Great video – eye popping guitar – good times
This is probably the most unique jag ive seen! Love it
how many times did you polish the guitar? cause it should look like the bass you're playing (which is super cool btw) meaning it should be very reflective, looks a little dull imho
the video is very cool, i didnt mind hearing you talking over the video but i enjoyed this anyways, keep em coming!
oh and the music video was amazing, gg
Man the amount of patience you have ! Great job !
4:26that part must have been a pain in the neck, man, I think I would have set the thing afire. lol. I'm not a big fan of the result, but your video was great, and you have the Jaguar of your dreams, so it's perfect. Good job!
Wonderful job!
Nervous af when you were putting on that f-hole outline
I liked the "no talking" style of this one
geezus christ man … please get yourself a transfer foil for those decals next time xD
Did ur channel grew becuz of the ukelele shorts?
Wow what a nice video, didn't feel like 10 mins, very informative even without words and still carrying the same humor. Apparently your video production stepped up within the last few videos, and it was already very good before, so 10/10, looking forward to the next one
For some reason I feel like watching the bee movie and listen to some jazz
Ultra nice 🙂
Fabelhafte Arbeit, mein Freund.
¿Hast du schon mal versucht eine ganze Guitarre herzustellen?.. Ich meine, mit Mahogany oder Aahorn Holz Brettern, zum Beispiel?..
Von Null an, from scratch in english.
