Painting? Routing? Set-up tips? Or just straight-up making a guitar from scratch? Post here, and post pics!

I found something pretty Cooooool. Need help.

Post by Awstin »

So I found this really cool "Fender" ;) serviceman vibrato for sale. It's basically a mustang vibrato and jag vibrato combined in to one. I thought it was so cool and different so I bought it. This actually came off one of the strat copies. I need some help putting it together and I don't know if any pieces are missing. I don't really have much experience with jag vibratos to know what it should look like either. I deal with mustang vibratos. Anyone have any idea how to set it up? Ill post more pictures when I get it. It's missing the bridge. But the guy threw in a jaguar copy bridge. Maybe it will fit. Has some pitting/oxidation. Gonna try and remove it. Any suggestions?

Autosol chrome cleaner, and plenty elbow grease will bring that to a shine no problem.
