Is this just a jag body shape?

I really really like the looks of this one - http://www.groshguitars.com/products/electrajet/electrajet_s.htm#port
With a strat hardtail bridge and a couple of lollars, maybe a gibson scale (24" is just too small). Think you could do this with a warmoth body?
Lord, this GAS has got me good.
 
I should rephrase - I know it's not a jag shape, but I wonder if the basic coolness of this guitar could be realized with a warmoth jag body.
 
Here we go. You choose.

P90 pics are from the lollar site :P
I couldn't find a mint pickguard that would fit the image, so I cheaped out.
The color was me recoloring a red jag in the showcase.
 
I prefer something alike Max did but with that finish (don't mind the crappyness of the guitar, it's a crappy brazilian old copy by Giannini... they suck)
 
Wow Max great photoshop skills! Crap that thing looks cool to me, and I've never been a jag/mustang guy.
You'd have to get warmoth to move the bridge down for the changed scale, or drill it yourself, and rout out new spots for the pickups, and get a custom pickguard made up, but it just might be doable. At some point, once I've finished the two I've got going already......sheesh.
 
Eh, it's not that great. I got the colors pretty much dead-on, but the pickguard is crappy, the pups don't quite fit in, and the same with the knobs :P

I'm critical of my work.
 
Alternatively, maybe get a  Mustang body and 'sharpen' the lower bout horn?  :icon_scratch:

You can do it with:
Jaguar body (24'' scale)
Jazzmaster body (25-1/2" scale or 24-3/4 scale with conversion neck)

For bridge routing you have many options.
