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:

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.

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.

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.

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.
