for a long time i was an lp/335 player. i avoided strats because of short hands and longer scale. then i discovered the conversion neck. the way the strat blends with the body and the way it tilts slightly towards me due to its contours has made playing it a dream - that now i find it difficult to play the thick body lp, though the 335 due to its larger body size is still fine.
now i want a guitar with p90s. the stratosonic looks fine and i am highly tempted. but i would like something different if possible.
i am very attracted to the jaguar body shape - maybe because it was used by one of my axe heroes - otis rush. somehow it brings to my mind a pebble on the beach.
yea i understand that the jaguar with its 24" scale should be ideal for my small hands - but i don't want it to be different from my other guitars. i would preferably have a jag/jazzmaster shaped body with a 24 3/4" neck.
would a conversion neck intonate on a jaguar? and is the hollow sound of the jag due to its 1mg volume and 50k tone pots? if i put 250k pots will it sound more like a strat or tele?
would it be possible to fit p90s on a jazzmaster body (assuming that a conversion neck will intonate on a jazzmaster due to its 25 1/2" scale)? if yes and i were to order a custom pickguard to fit the p90s, would extra unused space of the larger pickup cavities of a jazzmaster degrade the sound?
and where can i get a good quality jazzmaster body which is not too expensive - some of the prominent sellers on ebay charge so much for jm bodies.
is it possible to get a lightweight or chambered jazzmaster body which would complement the p90s?
appreciate the feedback and suggestions if any.
