Fender makes one but they’re going on $90.
I don’t have a jag but I got a gator case for my daughter for her strat about a year ago and it’s been holding up nicely so far. They make “jazzmaster size” which fits the Jaguars also.
If you want no frills for $20: Gator Cases Gig Bag for Fender Jazzmaster Style Guitars (GBE-JMASTER) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074WGHJ9K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_pgwzFbYW4V8VQ
Or in the mid-range, with more pockets etc:

I agree about Graph-Tech block saddles being better than bent steel on a Strat, although I like metal ones, like these:

Obviously the real problem here is the missing screw and the misaligned strings and saddles.
That's definitely Indian laurel. Pau ferro is lighter.
See this? Mine was even lighter than that.
Something like this, maybe? https://www.amazon.com/mxuteuk-Aluminum-Potentiometer-Electric-KNOB-03-25SR/dp/B07TZ31NBD
You can buy the bridge & control plate off of amazon for $30: Professional 6 String Saddle Bridge Plate Beautiful Decorative Pattern for Tele Electric Guitar
However, I'm not sure about the rest. If you have the serial number, you can contact Fender and ask about it's manufacturing history.
Definitely a beautiful guitar.
Ah, I lied! I did replace it with a 9. These are what I ordered - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002M6CW6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_34K4C5395AJGW4VXDYVR?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
The 12/48 were for my Les paul. I searched my Amazon order history for recent guitar strings I purchased and grabbed the wrong ones haha.
Bought and installed these recently and I‘ll put them on all my Strat type bridges:
If it were me, I'd replace those threaded saddles with compensated saddles (but bag the originals and keep them in the case).

It’s gone up a little bit now but it’s still great value
Ernie Ball Super Slinky strings. https://www.amazon.com/Ernie-Ball-Super-Slinky-Nickel/dp/B0002M6CW6
If you're trying to flip them around to play righty, just take the nut off and flip it.

Good luck.
Keep in mind that sale prices come up on new MIM Strats regularly at GC, Musicians Friend, Amazon etc. Black Friday is always a dead cert for GC to do a Limited Strat at a good price.
Right now Amazon is doing a nice Lake Placid blue model for $650.

Nice! I too have a Villager. bought this Fender case and it fit the villager well: https://www.amazon.com/Fender-Flat-Top-Dreadnought-Acoustic-Guitar/dp/B00L4HEZIG/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=30WSL3WIV3Q3&keywords=fender+flat+top+dreadnought+case&qid=1663880596&sprefix=fender+flattop+dreadnaught+case%2Caps%2C297&sr=8-3
You can get a USB to 9V pedal cable, then run a pedal off a rechargeable USB battery, phone charger, etc.
I haven't tried this myself but I plan to.

hi, I got this new guitar and brought to a technician, and had him replace the screws to all black. But he didn't have them available for the pick ups because they are too long. So I have to find my own to finish the job. Problem is, I don't know what the screws are themselves.
​
​
And if not, what size screws should I be looking to get? Thanks.

They make all the Vintera pickups as aftermarket sets now, it’s the same as the tex Mex pickups - made in Mexico and sold as the cheap end of fenders aftermarket sets. So comes in below fat 50s or Texas specials in price because those are MIA but tex Mex, Vintera 50s & 60s are MIM sets.
I also purchased the Vintera 50s and they are indeed quality pickups, not cheap “Chinese” half wound ceramic pickups.
Tim Shaw designed, Mexican made pickups is what these are.
https://www.amazon.ca/Dopro-Printed-plastic-pickguard-Telecaster/dp/B086HBRFQX/ref=sr_1_11?crid=2L7I86506HHMX&keywords=telecaster+pickguard&qid=1656608023&sprefix=telecaster+pickguard%2Caps%2C102&sr=8-11 It doesn't have screw whole for the neck pickup btw. I didn't drill any. I propper up the pickup to a height I liked the just placed the pickguard over top of it.
Welcome to the world of guitar tinkering!
You’ll need some basic tools (https://smile.amazon.co.uk/Repairing-Maintenance-Accessories-Instrument-Enthusiast/dp/B08JFZDPGS/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?crid=1NDXYEK4MW0JF&keywords=guitar+tools&qid=1655445336&sprefix=guitar+tools%2Caps%2C241&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&am...)
And the fender offset setup book (https://hazeguitars.gumroad.com/l/NlyNiC)
Ooohhhh that’s screw spacing. My bad I just read your full post.
I probably wouldn’t do it. I would definitely just order a 2 7/32” and wait for it to ship to you.
On Amazon here
😂youz guyz. It’s to keep the tremolo bar spring from falling out. They come with the US product and have a silver seal on them. I bought a pack of the springs online.. They help keep the arm from swinging all floppy. 🤣
It’s a real Fender but has more gold in it (like my 2015 Players Deluxe Stratocaster that I’ll post in a few mins) link.
The nut itself can be replaced, and you may have success removing the old one with a tool called Easy-out.
It has a Micro USB, if you get the right adapter, you should be able to run it in.
Something like this or whatever connection your iPad uses.

I don't know the specs of your guitar but the Powercaster, which has a Jazzmaster body, also comes with a stop bar tailpiece and tune-o-matic bridge. Highly likely the same hardware on your guitar.
This Guyker roller bridge drops on the Powercaster's existing bridge posts. I've actually swapped that bridge out without removing the strings. You might have to press down a bit (there are variances in manufacturing) but it fits.
You should note that roller bridges can add a bit of height, so if your bridge is screwed as far down as it will go and you like the action, the roller might be a problem. I actually sanded a Guyker roller bridge down on the bottom side for one of my Powercasters (better than messing with my guitar body), but another Guyker was fine on the other guitar.
BTW, I switched to a roller for a Bigsby as well. Worked out great! Helps if you scratch a pencil in the nut slots as well. Graphite is a great string lubricant.
Fender has replacement necks with different shapes, this one is a Gibson radius and a flat oval profile but they have other ones that are V and soft V, most of these replacement necks are found on various models.
That's a crazy score. Looks brand new and it's a great color.
sometimes all you gotta do is twist em a bunch until it goes away.
it sounds crazy but that can often work.
If that doesn't work Deoxit is what you want. https://www.amazon.com/Hosa-F5S-H6-DeoxIT-FaderLube-Spray/dp/B00006LVF1/ref=pd_lpo_1?pd_rd_i=B00006LVF1&psc=1
Do you mean the FEJ-610 Jag/JM/Starcaster gig bag from Fender?
Reviews on Amazon say this model fits the Starcaster and the zipper closes easily.
It started of pretty light, but oiling it a couple times got it a little darker. This is what I use.
You could make that in to something really nice with not much cash. Loaded pickguards like this one are decentish
Dopro Loaded Guitar Pickguard with Wilkinson Pickups Prewired ST Pickguard Fits Fender Strat Stratocaster Made In USA/Mexico Aged White https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07SC13ZLT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_4DZZV5HG7YN8VSHG35EZ?psc=1
Then I would buy this….
Fender Vintage-Style Standard Series Stratocaster Tremolo Assemblies https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00LJY360C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_HYSMYTD2H1HS1AA8MTY3
So for £50ish you have upgraded the bulk of the missing pieces.
This is what you want. Yes, they're a little pricey, but worth every penny.
Here's my Strat with those saddles on it.
They look pretty, they sound great, they protect the strings against breaking, and they prevent string binding.
This stuff might work. Not 100% sure how it would affect the paint but I’ve used it before Goo Gone Goo & Adhesive Remover Spray Gel 355ml Bottle https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001R4XHRQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_ZS5NB224HF8T5XB925CR?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I like F-One fretboard conditioner. It both cleans and conditions without being sticky or overly oily. I haven't noticed an odor (it does have a very faint furniture polish like odor) after application, and it lasts for several months.
I've also used lemon oil in the past, and while some have really strong opinions about it, it's been fine for me. But since F-One is cheap, and a bottle of it will last you for years and years, I've been using it, and now prefer it over lemon oil.
Hope that helps!
You can replace those screws, i have a whole bag of em lol. Too bad I can't PM you one
I think these are the right ones https://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Steel-Saddle-Height-Screws/dp/B07J2N27D1/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=m3+saddle+screws&qid=1624584706&sr=8-4
Just measured my neck relief and it's a little under 1mm which is way higher than Fender's 0.25mm
Like I said my action is already really high (because I've increased the bow so much to try and get rid of the buzz) so increasing the neck relief would seem not ideal.
If I wanted to "fret dress" would I just buy something like this?
I thought about changing the pick guard out before it arrived and i actually love it. I got the strap off Amazon actually. Here the link-
​
After doing some research, i decided this was going to be my first acoustic guitar to start learning and I’m glad I chose it
As a beginner, the steel strings hurt my fingers but thats meant to happen, only practice will fix that.
It sounds great (even when someone as inexperienced as me plays it)
It looks great
Fender is a great company and it comes with a very nice looking go bag too
If you have an Android phone, you can try Remuda https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tritoninteractive.remuda&hl=en_GB&gl=US (works with I, II, III, IV and V) from Google Play Store. I've given up using Fuse with my Mustang. You'll need a USB C to USB 3.1 Adapter OTG USB Type C Adapter to plug your Mustang in.
I picked up this one for my Tele and love it. Fantastic choice on that Strat!

This is what I bought for my MIM strat which has the standard tremelo that comes with the player series now. That should work.
