Tres tasty. I do like jags but I really need 25.5" scale length for what I do

Hmm I've recently put it into the workshop to have something attached to the tremolo to make the strings more taught between the trem and bridge.

Real nice. I'm usually not down with matching headstocks for whatever reason but that looks real good to me.

24" neck (feels pretty much exactly like my Gibson SG Neck).

I love matching headstocks on Fender type guitars, it just finishes them off (if they have rosewood fretboards. Maple looks better as it is).

Depends on the Fender/year I guess
I recall someone mentioning that MJT did use one of fenders size/designs or something for their jags. But I don't actually know if that is true... it does seem a little farfetch'd.

Just put the Jag into the workshop to have the BKP Crawlers changed to Cold Sweat (neck) and Nailbomb (Bridge). I'm also having some glue added to the mastery bridge, and having the switches lowered.
