Jaguar too delicate?I have had mine for over 10 years and it is virtually indestructible.

It's just that the bridge was very high...I had to modify my playing unless I wanted to remove a string / finger...
It sounded ace, and it looked even acerer, but I've got a thing about oddball guitars....
(How does a 12-string with a trem arm sound?)

The bridge is really easy to lowerwith the strings off, you just pull it out and it sits on threaded feet that you can adjust.
In fact, if you have a 90s Japanese model like mine, the feet don't fit particularly well made and you have to stop the bridge from lowering all of it's own accord.
A good modification for those who are not too fond the the Jaguar's bridge is to fit a Gibson tune-o-matic style bridge instead. I think some people do kits for that, but you lose individual saddle height adjustment which is noticeable given the Jaguar's vintage style large fretboard radius.
As to a 12 string with a tremolo, I have no idea how it would sound. I am fairly sure it would be a complete fucking pain to keep in tune though.

NOW I find out...Only a year too late...
Anyway, I replaced it with the 12-string. It's a Mosrite, so it stays in tune and sounds shoegaze-tastic... Result all round I think :)
