Video Description

🎸 Fender Doesn’t Want You To See This (Modern Jaguar Build) I took a legendary Fender Jaguar and broke every rule. Semi-hollow bastogne walnut body, inlaid white epoxy top, green accent outlines, Katalox neck & cover, 25.5" scale, 12" radius, stainless frets, EMG active P90s, bolt-on with inserts—this is a radical, modern Jaguar built for People R Ugly. If you love custom guitars, CNC + handwork, and pushing beyond Fender/Gibson tradition, you’re in the right place. 👉 Template kits & SVGs (drag-and-drop, to-scale): https://scarlettguitars.com 👉 Members: 100 extra giveaway entries + early access to serialized Scarlett launches: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvldej4INfmZxHK-Yw14wqg/join ULTRA CLEAR EPOXY: https://www.bestbartopepoxy.com/ 🧭 Chapters (add your real timestamps) 00:00 Intro – Why this Jaguar will upset purists 00:35 One-piece bastogne walnut + flattening 00:54 Why People R Ugly fits this build 01:49 Making a semi-hollow (weight + vibe) 02:14 White epoxy top plan + green accents 03:30 Milk Brick 🍪🥛 03:45 CNC pass & “TOAN” rant (+ nitro myth joke) 04:10 Green outline details + f-hole epoxy window 06:10 CNC error (how I fixed it with SVG templates) 09:05 Comfort carves (rasps vs kerf-and-chisel) 10:17 Rear electronics + battery box (EMG P90s) 10:45 Katalox cavity cover → full Katalox neck 11:23 Grain reveal (epoxy seal → oil finish) 11:54 25.5" scale choice + matching fretboard 12:36 White epoxy inlay of band name 12:49 Headstock recess + Scarlett Jag identity 13:46 Glue-up tricks (steel dowel pins) 14:38 Initial Neck shaping 16:00 Inserts + bolts (EZ-Lok) vs wood screws 18:03 Neck shaping (table-edge bit + hand transitions) 19:01 Katalox grain reveal 19:58 Stainless Frets 20:28 Setup, Final assembly, tones, and first play-through 🛠️ Build Specs Body: One-piece bastogne walnut, semi-hollow with oversized f-hole Top: Inlaid white epoxy (Ultra Clear Epoxy), green epoxy chamber window Neck: Katalox (fretboard cut from same blank), 12" radius, 25.5" scale Frets: Stainless steel Pickups: EMG active P90-style set Electronics: Rear-routed cavity, battery box Hardware: Bolt-on with EZ-Lok threaded inserts + hex bolts Finish: Epoxy seal + oil; green accent outlines via CNC 💬 Join the conversation Purists: mad?
