All hot but the middle one is strangely appealing.

Yeah keep it, that’s the 70’s vibe. I imagine it has a deliciously fat neck

SQ Affinity Jazzmaster, I modded a J Mascis Tremolo on to it, had to transfer the measurements from a PDF..
also changed the bridge to a TOM, changed the pickguard a bit and installed two Alnico II hums in it with a coil split tone pot.

I really like the model, because..dirt cheap ( 180 bucks) and body is solid alder, quite heavy..was not easy to carve that hole out.
also had a newer series SQ JM, those made from bass wood and I didnt like the sound..
