I don't want to hi-jack the thread, but I love these!
fixed bridge, 2 humbuckers, strat style jack, awesome stuff, too bad they are CHEAP! I wonder if a Warmoth neck would fit on those?
Honestly, the only thing I like about Jaguars is the shape. That's all I want really.A Jaguar without their switching system is almost insulting to the instrument. If you want a Jaguar, get this instead. The price hike is WELL WORTH IT.

I own a Blacktop Tele. Not bad for the buck. I paid $450 at the local GC. Pickups are okay, action and truss needed some adjustment, but since I tune to drop B, none issue. The necks are decent, 9.5" radius. Used DR DDTs (11s), I swapped the pickups out for EMG 81/85 (had to finagle the wire routing since there isn't a lot of room), replaced the nut with graphite, and threw on a set of Sperzel locking tuners I had. Pretty solid machine now.

To me that's exactly what these things are designed for, hot rodding, cos they only give you the bare essentials off the rack.
Got any pics?
