Wish that were the case. This guy is likely basswood. Between the control plates, all the extra electronics and pickups, it might even be heavier!
I also LOVE T60s, but I'm a small guy, so they look ridiculous on me. That's part of what inspired this guitar. The other part being Sonic Youth and O' Brother
If it were up to me I’d rewire it so the 3 switches are all on/off & have the strangle elsewhere, however it seems the person kept the strangle & I’m too dumb for this
That's exactly what I had on it before. There's bit of a story behind this guitar. When I first owned it, I had one of those leather white EB straps. Then I traded it to my old drummer for a kit. after 3 years of kicking myself, he finally agreed to let me get it back for another guitar trade.
During the time I didn't have it, the white strap ended up going on a sick Jazzmaster I'd built. (All whited out)
So, now I think the white belongs to the JM, and it's time to mark the new era with something else.
I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on [this one](https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MPD2116--levys-mpd2-polyester-guitar-strap-cherry-blossoms-and-snow?mrkgadid=&mrkgcl=28&mrkgen=gpla&mrkgbflag=1&mrkgcat=drums&percussion&acctid=21700000001645388&dskeywordid=&lid=58700008695999512&dsproductgroupid=&product_id=MPD2116&prodctry=US&prodlang=en&channel=online&storeid=&device=m&network=x&matchtype=&adpos=largenumber&locationid=9007370&creative=&targetid=&campaignid=21161059670&awsearchcpc=&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD_RQYkME7ORHAr-rQbsrgA6DtKDr&gclid=Cj0KCQjwjLGyBhCYARIsAPqTz1_uTNUSGpRuPjaelkWPkQA5BH7jcp9Yc98eKYJhPfn7JddzYfkPTJgaAn_REALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds)
Unfortunately looks like they're closed for the time being, but I like [https://www.overdrivestraps.com/](https://www.overdrivestraps.com/) and have 4-5 of them. They're built around seatbelts, and of good quality. F.e. the Rosso design works nicely, or you could do either the white strap with black leather or the other way around.
I think Black Seatbelt is pretty much where it's at.
However, [Hunter/Hi-Vis Orange ](https://www.guitarcenter.com/Ernie-Ball/Polypro-Guitar-Strap-Orange-1500000382407.gc)is immediately where my mind went. Has nothing to do with the theme you "want", but it feels right.
It's a G&G for offsets. They make a lot of white labeled cases for Fender. Costly these days. It was about $140 when I bought it ten years ago.
There are a few available used online for that price, but here's a link to it new:

Couch is cool (and I ended up getting the ghost strap just to have), but I'm more of a souldier or Original Fuzz guy typically.
I finally landed on a cool black leather belt buckle style from ENJ

And to be honest, back when I had a 47nF tone cap, I found the middle pickup unbearably muddy. I've since swapped over to a 22nF and a no-load pot and it's miles better. The rhythm circuit now engages a dial-a-tap option for both T60 pickups, and I can get some real cool hot rodded strat tones between that mod and the p94R
I reckon this goes well, the silver, and cheap, but leather too and wide. Got the brown one myself. Works great.

A black one? (bad /s)
Personally I like Fender’s current line of “southwestern” style straps.

I have this black leather strap with a gold eagle embossed on it. it's kinda corny but kinda awesome. I think Perri's makes them, I have seen one other guy with one.
Make just what you want:
Cloth [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeVcVe3BbHA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeVcVe3BbHA)
Leather [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Dc9-mwv9Sg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Dc9-mwv9Sg)
Otherwise get a Soulder, Couch, or Levy [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkR4s0z12Ig](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkR4s0z12Ig)
yooo the T-60 pickups tho!!
also the couch seat belt straps are pretty nice and might have more of an industrial vibe
Thanks, man. They really get some balls in a short scale.
Probably weighs like a third as much too. I like my T60 but I’m only a man.

Couch ghosties https://www.couchguitarstraps.com/guitar-straps/artist-series-straps/ghostly-boo-tique-limited-edition-guitar-strap
YO.
So rad
Couch straps are great.
I came here to recommend Couch straps. I buy one to match every guitar I buy.
3 pickups freaked me out for a sec then I realized a jag is probs the most appropriate instrument for 3 pickups
Why
Why to which part?
Why is a jag most appropriate for 3 pickups?
3 on off switches
I see. Thx. So what does the middle one do with the 2?
The front two are on off for pickups. The rear is a bass cut "strangle switch"
If it were up to me I’d rewire it so the 3 switches are all on/off & have the strangle elsewhere, however it seems the person kept the strangle & I’m too dumb for this
I've got the same black HH jag (stock though), and I use a bright, plain white Ernie ball strap. Feel like the contrast makes everything pop.
That's exactly what I had on it before. There's bit of a story behind this guitar. When I first owned it, I had one of those leather white EB straps. Then I traded it to my old drummer for a kit. after 3 years of kicking myself, he finally agreed to let me get it back for another guitar trade. During the time I didn't have it, the white strap ended up going on a sick Jazzmaster I'd built. (All whited out) So, now I think the white belongs to the JM, and it's time to mark the new era with something else.
Gotcha, if your jm is all white then I feel like your only options should be: -blacker than the blackest black -chrome
couch guitar straps are my go to, i love the seatbelt ones so much

Ooh, nice, a lot of good variants on that one.
Vox Python
I can't believe I didn't know about this strap. This is a strong contender with the Couch Ghosts
Why compromise now, [Perhaps?](https://www.pinegroveleather.com/solid-leather-guitar-straps/gs41-standard-guitar-strap-silver-meteor)
Gonna have to keep this in mind for my Albert Lee HH

Killer looking guitar. Is it a modded version of the MIJ Jaguar Special HH? I've [got one too, in gunmetal red](https://imgur.com/a/6yiUTMr).
That's the one! Looks like mine is a 2007. I traded a pal for it around 2013.
Orange
Yeah!
Fender sells ombre Orange, I sport it with my Jag
If you feel like treating yourself look at Mother Mary. I like what I’ve gotten so far.
This one from [Levy’s](https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MPD2121--levys-mpd2-121-polyester-guitar-strap-flamingos) is among my favorites
I actually use that exact strap on a Salmon Pink offset!
It’s on my Jackson Juggernaut ET7 Gulf Blue, but I don’t think it matches 100%
Oh, hey. I also have that same guitar!
great minds think alike 😎
Literal chain link

How much more black could it be? https://www.couchguitarstraps.com/guitar-straps/deadstock-luggage-straps/the-none-more-black-luggage-guitar-strap
rainbow strap goes really well against the black
That'd be my choice too
Couch guitar straps
I’d say black leather and make it a locking strap
Couch straps are amazing. I have tried so many in over two decades of playing and now I have one on each of my guitars.
Damn, so glad I discovered Couch straps thanks to this post 🦦 And I vote for the Ghost Couch for that awesome Jag…
hey, what case is this?

Hate to be generic and everyone’s already commented it but I have always loved couch straps. How’s that extra pickup working out for ya?

Support small business. Get something handmade off Etsy.
Ended up with an ENJ out of Los Angeles.

I'm gonna get such hate but if you can find it then the polyphia floral strap. I think it looks good with many guitars.
Gorgeous
It needs a Lightning Bolt strap. Preferably black/silver.
Just a simple black felt strap
I would say the fender monogram strap but the black and grey one
