Why haven't you used ebay to find parted out jazzmaster parts? You can get RI jazzy stuff all day long on there for half the price.

OK, guy who runs this site is an idiot. You don't need to be giving him money.Fender 70's "F" Tuners. This style of BUTT UGLY tuners were used on Fender guitars during the bad old CBS '70s when Fender styling and quality was (in my opinion...) at a low point. These superbly made "'70s reissue" tuners are the 'VERSION II' style of the "F" tuner with precision geared Schaller manufactured innards, requiring very careful counter boring on the back end of the headstock. Not recommended for installation by non-cello peghead reamer owners. No, these are not 'drop in' replacement tuners for the crummy, flimsy stamped tuners on your '74 Strat but they may fit your '79 with no modifications required. Chrome plated, includes press-in bushings and screws. Fender "F" stamped into back of chrome plated stamped metal tuner case. Made in Germany. GENUINE FENDER.

i would agree. just because it has the fender name on it does not mean its better. sure, a branded logo and trem plate is cool, and i think it improves the look, but spending all that extra money for a name? hardly worth it, in my opinion

not a real big surplus of used jazzmaster/jag parts that i've seen. mustang stuff is easier to find, but jag/jazz stuff is tuff. i'sa been looking.Mike wrote:Or just go second hand?

I see alot of jazzmaster parts on ebay everyday, you just have to be fast because they get snatched up.

Did you get the body back from robertog yet? I'd buy the parts you want. Its your guitar. You're still gonna have a badass guitar for under 500 dollars.

Haven't heard back from robert the last few days, last i heard he had filled the neck pocket and was ready to cut it out. asked if it could be sanded too which might save me some time depending how much he sands it down. will be exciting to see how it comes back.
that neck will probably be the next thing, then it will be time to finish that fancy new body!

What kind of pups are you going to use for the Jazzmaster?Haze wrote:its cool man
I made a Jazzmaster style guitar out of a old jagmaster and went with Lindy Fralin Pickups. Total bomb. Completely hand wound
Lindy does several versions from vintage specs to hot.

We had an old poster here do that to a jagmaster in 2006...but he actually made it into a Jazzmaster by filling the trem cavity then routing out a spot for the jazzyjag tremolo.
This is what it looked like when I bought it and painted it.
