    To go full jag style by modding, buying the correct neck, hardware ect would potentially be more than picking up a Squier Jag and modding/refinishing to your liking... I ended up grabbing one off ebay for under $500 with upgraded Mustang bridge and it is a killer guitar.
    Love it and thats what its all about for me, modding so its uniquely yours...thanks

    I could keep my eye on this for you, if only for the neck alone. You may be better off with a new body, though fixing it up would certainly be a real project! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/fender-jag...YAAOSwA3dYKIDn

    I'd be happy to buy it and post it on for you at cost if you're interested. Obviously let me know what your maximum outlay would want to be (I'd need it posted here first before posting it on as it's too far away to collect). Currently £1 = A$1.66.

    Really appreciate the offer Simon, nothings in concrete yet, just toying with the idea for my next project. If it comes to fruition ill give you a yell but it wont be for awhile yet, unless i have more than one on the go.

    Hey Nitro, the UK eBay special has made in China on the neck and looks like it would need plenty of refinishing on the body. Makes a locally sourced Squire possibly a better bet.

    Yes, Fender are now selling some Chinese-made guitars as Fenders rather than Squiers.
