Here is one we are just finishing off
(http://www.felineguitars.com/spec_sheets/guitar_images/Southpaw%20Jaguar%20/southpaw-jaguar-front-726.jpg)
Featuring a BKP Rebel Yell in the bridge and a BKP Missisippi Queen
Customer had the metal plates made specially for this project and also designed a back to front logo which looks the right way round in a mirror

Loving the logo! :D
-
Cool!
-
Wow, just... WOW.
That's one real good looking southpaw guitar.
And that mirrored logo is just too cool.
-
I've always loved the shape of jaguars, never loved the short scale or all the fancy switches. Might attempt a build myself one day...
-
Very nice!
As with all lefty's, I need to save the image and flip them round to make an informed aesthetical judgement.
This passes the test 8)
-
Very cool. I love Jags.
Is this one short scale too?
And what kind of bridge is on it? Most Jag players replace the bridge by a Mustang bridge or just the saddles to prevent the strings from popping off.
-
They look like USB ports on the front of that thing!
Not really my cup of tea (surprise surprise!) but the logo is kinda cool, and it looks like a nice bit of wood :)

Nice, I remember seeing that one in "on the bench" too.
I like the logo, and the Gotoh tuners. But are they the non-locking variety?
-
Sexy guitar, almost makes me want to somehow perform surgery on myself, thus becoming southpaw.
-
Nice..and funny love that
-
very nice :)
-
looks good - generally i prefer my jags and jazz's with custom colours but the natural finish works better than i would have expected
-
Yeah, I am the sames as Wez with a preference for custom colours but this guitar does look pretty darn good and I would gladly revise that opinion.
-
surf-tastic!
wouldn't mind seeing this one in the flesh. i just had to do a surf track for a compilation.

Glad you all like it. I picked it up from Jonathan on Friday afternoon and haven't put it down since. It is absolutely superb. It is the long awaited replacement for my stolen Fender Jaguar and was designed to be a Jaguar (with some sensible mods) in 50s Tele clothing (hence the very blonde look, black scratchplate and acres of chrome). It will be used for the first time with the gloves off this Thursday and I am really looking forward to hearing the Mississippi Queen through my MkII Marshall.
The plates that Jonathan mentions were made for me by engineers at Bosch and are the same thickness and chamfer as the scratchplate, unlike the stamped plates that you get on a Fender which look like a cheap (thin) afterthought. I also turned the pickup selector 90 degrees which fixes the daft 'random-pickup-selection-as-you-play' of the original Jag design. Jonathans suggestions for hardware and pickups have proved to be spot on too. He sold me on the idea of the Gotohs so I put a set on my old Gordon Smith. The custom-cut left handed earvana is also a very nice touch. The pickup quality goes without saying on this forum I suspect.
The logo was my solution to the fact that I love the way the fender logo and guitar name curls round the headstock on right handed fenders but on left handed ones it doesn't work, so they leave off the name of the guitar, which prompted a lot of people to ask me if old Jaguar was a cheap knock off. Fender headstocks on lefties look unfinished in my opinion.
Thanks again Jonathan. The Jagcaster was definitely worth the wait.
As a complete aside - I saw Foo Fighters at Wembley last night and Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones joined them for a blast through Rock & Roll and Ramble On. Fantastic.

Sounds great......
