So I definitely need a custom pickguard but it sounds frickin sweet
I already made a paper template for this -- who can cut a guard on the cheap?
I think cooter's closed for business right now..

grizzly
GFS

Either case get the 11 3/8" x 19 1/4", cuz if I fuck it up the first time, I will have enough for a second one. Only time I ever fucked one up was putting it on the my template upside down and made a lefty my accident.

People say the GFS tort sucks donkey, and Grizzly is better FWIW. Also, make me a second tracing on something heavier than typing paper and use a very sharp pencil. I want two tracings sent to me.

jazzmaster

this is from the warmoth site, I printed it and the 1" 1cm scale was right on. How close is it to yours?

yeah its close but the "penis" part that covers the lower route on a jagmaster is about 2 mm too skinny on either side... and of course its routed for jazzy pups instead of WRHB i'll send you the png that I made & printed as a test image so you can see the difference

it was a jagmaster that had its whole middle part cut out, plugged, and routed like a jazzy minus the upper control cavity (from what I can see anyway-- this thing has been passed around for like 5 or 6 years?) but I have another jagmaster body and I can confirm it has the same fat control route

24" shortscale, 25" scale or 24" conversion neck scale body? I assume 25" scale body from the neck on it.

And this might work out well for me. I have the robroe build sitting around my house so I might as will just build it and git it out of my life. Any extra pizza tort I am going to use for that build. OK.

noooo idea what it originally was but the holes for the bridge posts are drilled at 25.5"

I'm using a stock jazzmaster guard on it now which looks like shit but fits everywhere but the lower controls route
