i'm lovin' 3.

who'd you get the MFD's from?

Hotrod I bit a huge fucking bullet and got them at a very slight discount through a buddy at a local guitar shop. in the meantime I missed out on SHIT LIKE THIS *fuuuuuuu*

Anyhow yeah, the polepieces on the pickups are set up for #3. Probably'll go with that.

i think it's going to be fantastic at any rate.

OK! Could some Jaguar owner or owners do this for me? Things are starting to come together.

10 3/4" from the 12th fret
22 5/8" from the nut

Wait, why is there a 11 7/8"* difference between the two? Shouldn't it be 12"?

I am confuse.

* (edit: not 12 1/8" as I originally posted)

you've asked for a measurement from nut to the center of the bridge pickup, not the nut to center of the bridge, which would be a closer indication of scale length.

Grant · Post by **Grant** » Wed Sep 08, 2010 1:44 am

Nah, I want the pickup's location. The distance between the nut and the 12th fret is 12 inches, yeah?

I figured:
(bridge pickup to 12th fret) + (12th fret to nut) = (bridge pickup to nut)

Based on that, I'd expect:
10 3/4" + 12" = 22 3/4"

Instead, the measurement came out to be 22 5/8", which is 1/8" shorter than I would have expected it to be.

Some pics of Peptobismall to inspire you.

Always love me some peptostang!

Did some routing and chiseling today:

Apparently basswood rips/tears if you let it. Still, it's cleaning up rather well.

Haha when I saw the thumbnail I didn't realize there's a recess buzzed all the way around, was thinking "man that's some thick Poly."

I like this a lot better. The tele plate isn't doing it for me. Not horrible, but a smidge off.

I hope these are the last mockups I make.

did you just post the same picture 8 times?

Grant · Post by **Grant** » Fri Apr 08, 2011 12:36 am

No, but pretty much yes. I can't edit the poll, but I forgot one of the pics (bah). If you like this more than one you voted for, tell me I guess? This isn't an exact science...

I voted seven, but I take it back and vote 2.
