thats the diagram i was looking at..
the DPDT switches that i have at the moment are essentially jaguar switches.

--o---o-- >wire left from toggle

--o---o-- >magic to tone?

--o---o-- >wire right to jack

I think this should work.

i'll give it a shot when the pickups get here

so i'll need to fill the bridge route, and then re route it for the jazzmaster pup, what is the depth of a jazzmaster pup?

thanks man, greatly appreciated

so i got it unpacked. the first thing i .had to do was see where the pup wires run.. the neck wires run through the bridge hole and then to the cavity.. so i may not be able to do what i had orig planned.

but i placed the pickups in to see how it looks, and it appears i may just be able to fake it by routing out the area i need for the jazzmaster pup while still having enough space to keep it in place..

though it is going to be tight..

*note i will not be using the jazzmaster/jaguar bridge i just wanted to see how it looked with one.

looks cool, what is that neck pickup? dimarzio something or other?

this is what I was going to do for a tailpiece: http://www.allparts.com/Chrome-Economy- ... 12-010.htm

it had a bigsby on there at one time but it is now on the DOT I traded to portugalwillis.

it is the neck pickup from my CP Jaguar HH, since i'm putting a CP single coil in it.
i'll need to get a cream ring to mount it.

i like the idea of that tailpiece.. i was thinking the gfs surface mount trem as well though..

and i may have to find another jag bridge to use with it, as i'm not very fond of Toms...

i would sooooooo use that jag bridge and put a matching trem on it.

looks pretty great thus far.

serfx · Post by **serfx** » Tue Mar 08, 2011 5:25 am

i kind of like that idea....
i seriously need a plunge router...

maybe next "pay period"

as i'll need to order a jag/jazzy trem as well..

waiting on stuff from GFS..

and also waiting to find out if i can borrow a buddies plunge router so that i don't need to buy one..

I really like how this is turning out. I was thinking of getting this and putting a tele custom or deluxe type pickguard on it, but I've got enough projects to worry about right now.

serfx · Post by **serfx** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 12:07 am

thanks man.

yeah i've quite a few on the go right now, but i also have nothing but free time.. so it kinda works.

Do you need a guard for this? If you want I can give you one I have lying around.

serfx · Post by **serfx** » Tue Mar 15, 2011 9:52 pm

thanks for the offer, i've got a guard coming from GFS

weed_killer · Post by **weed_killer** » Tue Mar 15, 2011 10:36 pm

all right, hope you finish this beast soon!

serfx · Post by **serfx** » Tue Mar 15, 2011 11:03 pm

just waiting on parts in the post.

serfx · Post by **serfx** » Thu Mar 17, 2011 5:31 pm

GFS stuff showed up..
apparently the output jack plate that came with the mono jack, did not include the mounting screws..
so, that was a nice surprise..

not that big of a deal, and it never said anywhere that it did, i just assumed so that was silly of me.
either way i can do a quick wire up and test it before i route the body.

as i'm still waiting for the jag/jazzz trem from all parts.
