Hi!

Should I regret to buy a MIM jaguar for not having the american fender mute bridge?

It should be easy to replace with one of those?

Thanks

I think often people don't use the mute, because it isn't great. However, I don't know your playing style. Also, I don't know your visual style... you (like me) may just want it on there because it looks kinda neat!

I have not seen one of them mexi Jags up close, but the TOM-type bridge might be a stumbling block if you want an operational mute (maybe the bridge to bridge pickup clearance too). If you just want the visual aspect of the mute, I think it would be feasible with minimum fuss.

The link below shows some mods that you can make to a Jag, although it does not cover the mexis. I remember seeing a set of instructions and some basic accompanying illustrations on the web several years ago; I will try to locate them.
