So what do you think? Hideous? Awesome?




I have three colors. The lightest one is what is used on an AVRI. The others are aftermarket replacement covers. Because the guitar is already a cream color, I think that would look the best. Also, for all you purists out there, the guitar I'm considering hacking at is a 69RI, so it's not like I'd be ruining a vintage piece.


I love Jazzmaster pickups. They kick all kinds of ass imo. This is the guitar I built over the summer that made me fall in love with them.

Totally cool. Although if it were mine, I would go with the cream pickup covers, and a 3 way toggle and a new pickguard to fit it.

I have a 3-way toggle with a cream tip too. I dunno about buying a new pickguard just for that one piece, but yeah... I would redo all the wiring so that it's a 3 way switch, with maybe one mini-toggle acting as a kill switch. And definitely swap in some 1Meg pots.

that looks REALLY cramped.

i'd go with the lighter covers, personally.

Agreed that it looks cramped, but it's not really any different from how a Jazzuar looks. The short scale really condenses things.

i just made a guard/ body thing for this kid as j.s.com,
its SUPER cramped, no space for switches unless you move them.
i'll try and find pics later on

I like it! If that gives you the tone your looking for, I say go for it!

It's way too cramped and looks a bit silly. You shouldn't do it.

Hit it on the head. Something I'd like to try, but not really to my taste

P90s may look cooler, although I can appreciate they don't sound the same.

You could just drill hole in the pickgaurd and let the poles stick through!

I think I saw that girl at lil tony's pizza a couple months ago. She caught me stair'n. I embarrassed myself good that day.

here we are!

It looks rad!! Put a wide range humbucker in the middle!

i actually like the idea of this one.


i hate that color mustang. i know its supposed to be vintage aged oly white or whatever in theory but fender just got it all wrong in the color batch.

squier makes a dele deluxe in that color too, its fucking gross.


have roach paint that shit for you and then it would rule

DO IT - Find a way to wedge a jaguar PUP in the middle, too.

i like it, i'd go with the lighter covers. what JM pickups do you usually use?

I'm confused. It looks cool, but shit at the same time.
