    A "Leftie" mini Jaguar with Johnny Marr Jag circuitry (bass cut, treble cut and 4 position pickup selector).
    Maple/rosewood neck, poplar body and hardware from 2mm brass plate.

    I`m looking forward to handing it over on Monday.....a chance to use my Senior railcard and go for a pint and a chinwag

    Great looking as always Pete!! It's the "lefty" aspect that leaves me scratching my head. How do you that without having a migraine headache?

    One can dream of a post-commission Almuse web world where the right hand crosses a bridge of the aesthetician's engineering.
    That's a well whammied machine.

    Must confess.....Re. bridge slant....Force of habit, when I drilled the bridge stud holes, I suddenly realised my mistake when I noticed that the G would be shorter than the E ......OOps!!!! ....Bit of filling and re-drilling required

    Are my eyes deceiving me or is the whammy bar between the A and E strings?
