your guitar is still a jagmaster because the body is still a jagmaster. i remember seeing you on squier-talk trying to sell off your shitty jagmaster neck with a fucking jaguar decal and you kept going about how your shitty guitar is now a jaguar, but it's still a fucking jagmaster.

if the idiots in guitar center are giving you compliments, it's their problem, for not knowing what it is. i wouldn't take a guitar that i care about into guitar center if they paid me to.

yeah, you know, i got tired of the JAGMASTER, hybrid guitar, i posted it on ebay as jazz master jaguar hybrid jag master body loaded, i just sold the body separately from the neck, the neck, sold for a whopping 465 total, the body at 500 plus 30 shipping, the body sold within a few hours, because i posted it at midnight last week and the next morning it was sold, and the neck i let run for a 7 day auction, here are the pics of that exciting moment

than i sold the tuners for 30 bucks but that was just for ciggerattes, anyway, so once i realized i just got $$$$951.00 for my supposedly shitty guitAR, than i typed in Fender Jaguar, a guitar i have been wanting for a while and i remember you were bragging about yours, so i have been watching for one and haven't really seen any CIJ models recently, and if so, they were selling for over a grand, but just my luck, someone just posted a CIJ FENDER JAGUAR, so what did i do , i bought it and just got it yesterday via ups, i love it so much, i am going to put bindings and blocks on it but ill wait about a week or two to really get the feel for the neck and how i want to do it, with frets i wanna choose and so forth, but here are some pics,
it was close to a thousand but for such an older guitar its really in amazing shape, no scratches anywhere, i can't believe it, i ordered the american off white pickup covers and all new chrome plates , mine are in decent shape but i want it to be brand new, ill save all the old parts in case i ever sell it and someone wants them

oh yeah this was the big ass box it came in, you know, UPS freakin left it at my door step and didn't ring the bell, my brother was home, and when i got home ,it was sitting in the hallway downstairs at the door step, he didn't even know, anyone could've taken it,

also i ordered the fender mute again and some other stuff, like this micro something or other inlay material from ebay, supposed to be healthier to use than mop, but check out the box, now i have tons of bubble rap for when i mode necks and ship them out

good bye, hope you enjoyed, i taken a break from the neck thing cuz i gotta work on my guitar now, so if anything, you might just see me post my guitar on here, and i seriously doubt anyone is gonna say my guitar sucks now because its next to the american in the food chain, so if someone doesn't like it , oh well , i love it, later

JESUS CHRIST! LEARN TO FUCKING POST ON THE INTERNET, THAT MASSIVE WANK YOU JUST DID IN YOUR OWN FACE IS UNREADABLE.

YOU ALL LOSERS LOOK AT MY CARDBOARD LEL.

Shod bless you too Paul, I mean that. I have the utmost respect for your talent with necks but I think as long as you are oblivious to the problems with your posting style, the constant suspicion that your only motive is to garner business, and your complete inability to understand others, it's best that our ships sail in opposite directions at this time and I think your decision to leave several posts back is for the best.

I am also really beginning to think that most of your posts that inevitably start pimping your business should all be combined in one Whorehouse thread, where they belong, according to the clearly defined rules you never followed.

I am actually quite gutted that you can't sort your shit out. I would have GLADLY have employed your services for blocks and binding if you didn't come across as arrogant and self centered, or at least slightly sociopathic. A shame, a real shame.

All the best for the future chap.

I agree with everything that Dave said.... well put

wait a minute, you know, i haven't looked at any posts here in a while besides this one that i post my stuff on, because of being busy or what ever, but every one is constantly complaining that all i do is post pictures and they are too big and no one cares and people cursing me out for posting my work, NOT ONCE HAVE I TRIED SELLING MY STUFF HERE, expect for the classifieds and it was for people to go check out my neck that i already posted on ebay, but long before that i have been getting shit for posting my work on here and i was never trying to sell it, no one will find me trying to sell it, if you actually go back, first of all, i know because i have went back to check myself many times because i often heard i was advetivesing , and wasn't, but if anyone else goes back, its pretty cool to know i rent that much space in someones head that they would waist so much time instead of anything else in the whorl, but they would think of me and read read read to make me look bad, get a life, i never came on here starting with people, just posting my work, now after months of being put down and made fun of, yeah, I'm not gonna take it lightly and not say anything back, but
i just noticed something, i went to the forum section for guitar projects and clicked on a few projects to see what the hell everyone is talking about when they say i don't know how to post threads, to many or to big pics, and guess what , the other projects are just the same , just like i saw long time before i ever joined here, thats were i got the idea of posting pictures of my work in a fucking project forum, it only makes sense, egghhhh, i don't know, you guys can't possibly be serious, i know this site has people from all over the world and shit, thats probably whats going on here, i know french people hate americans and australians hate americans, who knows who else hates americans, i can't figure out any other reason, i sware to god, if you look under my staining neck thread, there is a squire jaguar mode thread and this dude made his jag squire with chrome plates, but nothing like my white jag master was, and he posted like 100 huge huge pictures and everyone ws like, "oh, amazing job, great guitar, great work, " thats all i ever wanted, to post my work, share it, maybe here some good things about it, not this one freak here saying how shity my jag master was or some other dude threating me that if i don't stop posting, he will make sure he gets a rally of people to try to get me banned, you know what mother fucker, doing shit like that should get you banned, or another fucking psycho making GIFs of me, you know how sick that is , to sit their and look at my pics enough times to create something like that, but than say i suck for posting them,

and other threads on here have pics of things that are huge also and just of a term bar, or headstone or whatever, and people are like , "cool' great" yay" nice ' tallie hoe ' bloody whatever' or polly vue fronsieΩ'
and i always was polite, posted pics of how i work, before and afters, just like everyone else, but lemme guess, because the work was good, thats why i suck so bad, right, ask you self, of course you won't admit that is the reason you all destroy me here, but subconsciously , thats what happens, when someone can't do something as good or in general isn't as good as someone else, they make fun of them, like in grammar school,
i know you guys heard that before, its not just me making this up, maybe the reason the other guys on here didn't get a new A hole torn into them is because there projects weren't that great, or because you guys could do better or something and feel bad, but with me, you might not be able to do what i do , or maybe could but don't have the drive or passion anymore like you used to so your trying to make me feel like its not worth it,
what do you think, I'm going to stop doing what i do, and feel good about myself and enjoy life because a couple guys from this website don't like me, yeah, o.k.

i just can't believe how other people get such good ratings for there work and my a little more complex work i get shitted on, and i don't wanna hear its my posting writing style, o.k., maybe i suck at spelling, but all the other post on the guitar project forum look exactly the same, huge fucking pictures of guitars and necks, even just one little term bar....

anyway, i put all new chrome control plates on my jag because it is indeed a 97 CiJ. i figured that it was 97, i found out when i took the neck off, i gotta pic of the stamp, i also read that the CIJ was better wired than the average MIJ , it had the brass shielding plates for ground and so on, i discovered that as well replacing the control plates, i also installed the fender mute, i forgot to order a bridge cover though, i ordered on last night,
i want to start the neck modification already but want to have the guitar to play, so it gonna suck for about 2 weeks not having a guitar to use, because this is my only one now, and with the neck being upgraded, it will be in two pieces, I'm waiting for my inlay material, i ordered it from a different supplier, supposedly it is good stuff, thinner and easier to cut,
i also ordered new pickup covers, i prefer the aged white instead of the white it came with, with sunburst, i think it looks better,
i got these parts yesterday

F.A.O. Paulk1

TL:DR

here are some pics of my project i accomplished over the weekend, usually it takes me almost 2 weeks for something like this but i guess I'm getting good at it because it only took me the weekend last weekend, i am going to take a brake for a little while from this type of thing, i just want to clear my system out from the toxins and chemicals, i think I'm getting sick from this stuff, i use mask and gloves, but who knows, it won't hurt to take a brake, i just did my neck because i wanted it done on this guitar that i wanted for years now, anyway, check out the pics of my project last weekend,

hand carving the binding channel with exact blades

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

also hand carved the block inlays out of the rosewood because i didn't want to make any mistakes with the dremel on this guitar, its mine,

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

this time i used celluloid plastic for the inlays and had to cut out my own inlays but i wanted that because i couldn't find a set of blocks that were this size, fender style, only gretsch and gibson, so i bought a blank and cut them out,

refretting the neck, fender vintage fret wire, you know i was in guitar center today talking to a buddy of mine that is a tech over there and they (Guitar Center) charges $305.00 to refrett a bound neck, thats crazy, i could make some real money if i found a place that needed someone to do it , i can refrett a bound fretboard in 4 hours, level it perfect and all, anyway, back to the pics, enjoy

i took someones advice on here about the wood stain conditioner, it worked wonders, thanks to whoever that was

wet sanding the poly finish

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

i never sanded the back of the headstock nor the bottom where the serial number is and just restrained the back of the neck to match the head and bottom as good as i can, it came out almost exact, i can tell the slight difference, but no one else can, its fine with me, its just a tiny bit light than the headstock,

hahah someone did $450 down this neck with that honking decal?

Paul - that was 100% better post - clearer more concise descriptions and informative on your process. More of this please.

I'm impressed by the hand-routing of the binding and blocks. Can you describe more about how you do it? How do you get it exact? What process do you use to remove and put new frets in? Any tips for people doing it for the first time?

here are some of the tools i used, i have my Dremel 100 rotary tool in this photo but i was scared to use it on this guitar, this is my favorite guitar and now that i finally got my hands on it, i didn't want to screw it up, i bought a wood carving kit from a dollar store in my area, it works great, although i broke a lot of the blades during, but i also used EXACTO blades, and straight razors, so they would do just fine,

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

to start off, you need to remove the frets, i bought this handy luthier tool on ebay for 15 bucks , its like a little sharp plier/wirecutter, its worth it to just get it on ebay, you won't find something this good anywhere else, except of course STEW MAC.COM or another luthier supplier,
with this too, you start at one side of the fret, grip under the fret and slowly start to lift up and move your way across to the other side, if it seems like it doesn't want to budge, take a soldering iron and touch it to the fret and heat the fret for a couple seconds to loosen the glue, it will come out better with less damage to the fretboard
to glue the bindings on, i used the super glue
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
and the picture i have of the fret in this double pic is how you need to cut the new frets on the sides to hang over the bindings, although there are a few different ways you can fret a bound neck, gibson does it different than fender, i do it the fender way...
oh and the rectangle piece of metal with the slot in the middle is so you can place it over a fret and file it without touching the bindings or fretboard , you can get it a stewmac.com


i marked a line down the side of the neck where the bottom of the side of the binding would be with blue painters tape, this will let you keep a perfect line and measure how deep you want the bindings to be from top to bottom and width as well, i also marked the fretboard on top to how deep sideways i wanted to go into the fretboard, and than you just start carving along the line on the top where the rosewood is, and the bottom into the maple, and make the both cuts meet, than i used a small diamond file i bought at home depot for 4 bucks to make the channel i cut perfectly flush and straight

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

to carve the blocks, i first cut the blocks out of the big block material with a coping saw from home depot, than filed the edges smooth, than placed the block in the center of the fret and traced it with a pencil, than put blue tape or masking tape on the markings and scored the outline along the inside of the tape of the block, than start to slowly carve and chip away the rosewood deep enough for the inlay, than superglued it in and filed them down flush with the fretboard, and than used 220 grit sandpaper, after the 220, jumped up to 600 800 and finally 200 grit for the finish, thats basically it for the blocks,

this is a picture of the best strongest glue for bindings, i have read a lot of stories about how many different glues failed in others projects and this one is something i first used and never went to anything else, this is the absolute best, once the bindings are scraped flush with a regular razor, and you sand the bindings and fretboard together to be flush, you will not see any evidence of this glue, it is amazing, and so freaking strong, that when you get your fingers on it, it actually burns, and your eyes urt from just the smell , but its the best for this project, screw epoxy, don't do it, you'll have to do it again and loose money and time, trust me, i have done about 10 of these projects in the last few months and never had a problem with this glue,...

now for the side dots, you can order them an STEWMAC.com, its only 1 dollar for a stick of side material that will last for about 5 necks, and you need a 3/32 drill bit , you drill a hole in the side of the binding, put super glue in the hole, stick the stick in it, then once it dries, slice the stick off with a razor or exact blade, sand flush and you have you side dots, i already have a picture of how that looks up on the top of this page.....


finally, use Miniwax or another brand Prestain wood conditioner to stain the neck,read those instructions of course, and than stain, i use polyurethane as a finish always and wet sand when thetas done, i would just recommend going on youtube to find out how to wet sand guitars etc, you'll learn a lot on youtube, anyway, hope this helps guys, later

much more informative post, well done. your work is really good, you obviously have real skill.

+1 good post and impressive work.

Paul,

Ever thought of using a Dremmel type tool as a tiny Router to cut the block shapes into the fretboard?
This LINK illustrates how to do it with a dremmel router further down the page.
