3 coats in




I am going to give it a sand smooth and then a 4th coat.

Someone asked on instagram if I plan on clear coating it and I am not entirely sure what to do in that reguard.
Speaking of guards I am in talks with someone to make me a black anodised aluminium guard with Jaguar switches instead of a toggle.

Just saw your pic on insta and it looks amazing. I reckon a black anodised guard would be quality too. Personally I’d always pick a toggle over Jag switches though.

100% knew the switches would be unpopular! its partially for the look. But on my black jag I have wired it with series parallel mod and I really like it. Plus having the strangle switch will be cool.

[Thom]

Yeah fair play, I had the series/parallel mod on my old Jag when I had P90s in it and it sounded huge. What pickups are you putting in this one?

Not sure. I used to really like my antiquity II's I used to have.

That looks fantastic. Tru-oil clear?

Yeah that might a good shout. I tried a little renaissance wax on some scrap I tried the stain on first and it kinda lifted the stain off. So I am going to have to be careful.

Cool. Probably not your thing but I’ve got a Jazzy Vmod bridge pup in my parts box you can have for cheepz if you need.

Cheers Thom. Yeah I should be sensible and accept the kind offer...but I am going to have to stick to the traditional jazzmaster pickup construction for this one.

[Thom]

Wise man, it’s a shit bridge pup anyway (though I do like the neck version)

haha the hard sell

I reckon if those Jaggly switches are black against a dark scratchy (or the opposite) it'll look super sick, stealthy

I agree...I am trying to decide how far I go with the black colour scheme. Like screws? Bridge? Tremolo?

[Doog]

I personally love keeping the metal screws against black; Puisheen's 'Vader' is such a beast that I always look to longingly:

Kinda Halford-esq

Yeah good example!
You can get a cheapo black trem and bridge from amazon and reverb. Rather than the anodised mastery stuff that will be fuck ton expensive.

[Doog]

For my money, it'll still look great with chrome hardware; another similar model by the same geezer

[Hurb]

found a brushed mastery tremolo on reverb for less than normal but its in Singapore...no idea on how long that will take or tax bollox.

plus its a mastery.
