normally I spend my Friday nights helping little old ladies across the street and banging really, really hot chicks, but tonight I decided to make a jazzmaster PG template.

I am trying to figure out the holes for the bridge cups. looks like someone has enlarged/elongated them for some reason. I guess the history of this guitar is interesting and I am not exactly sure what I am working on. Is this a jazzmaster pickguard? I guess, maybe someone customized the body for this type of bridge and the holes may not be spot on perfect. So I will get the holes close to how they are on the guard you sent me and you may have to file or trim to fit what is going on with your guitar.

Yeah it's a jagmaster body that was converted to jm-- so the bridge posts are a bit off from where a real jm body would be drilled-- just get the holes approximate and I will enlarge them if necessary!

Hopefully this will work without you having to touch a power tool. Really, just put the tools down and back away from the pickguard.

You might want to shield it before you use it. I usually spray adhesive some aluminum foil to the inside and let it touch the pots.

Your item is out for delivery in BROOKLYN, NY 11220.

can't wait to see if this thing works out. plus it is one of my favorite color combos; blue with mint. wonder how it would look with maple neck?
