however i now had a neck with no home, so i was trying to find a home for it.
my leftover parts that went into a stratocaster instead:
the end result:
i got bored with a stratocaster though, and my itch to build a full fledge jazzmaster began, my reasoning was since i had most of the parts lying around it would be easy and painless (i only need a mustang bridge piece, a pickguard, chicken knob, and a body)
here's a rough outline of what i want to build, i would prob be heading off to warmoth for the body and pickguard since i have everything else for the build.
for electronic wiring, it would be a straight forward swap from the strat wiring into the jazzmaster. i will use the lower toggle switch as a location to place the volume pot, (already checked the holes on my JM and it will fit fine) the five way toggle switch will be mostly for the coil switching in the humbucker. the golden age humbucker has wiring for switching over to only one coil, so essentially making it into a single coil bridge pickup.
the five way switch will work like this:
1. neck pickup (JM)
2. neck + bridge pickup (blend with humbucker)
3. bridge only (humbucker)
4. bridge humbucker blend with single coil cut (useless)
5. bridge single coil cut from humbucker
this would be a sister guitar to my other project jaguar i have kicking on here

everything done except for the vintage tuners which is backordered and taking a shitload of time to come in from allparts.
