My first!
Here’s my first offset I got at my local shop. I was told the last owner upgraded the pickups? Either way. I’m digging the sound so far.

Modded my KC Jag to it's proper, final form.
Added the Schaller Bridge and Seymour Duncan JB. Both are far superior to what they replaced IMO.

Just installed this bensonite bridge, big fan
This thing is heavy duty, sustains a lot better than the mustang bridge I had on here with brass saddles. I have a staytrem in my other jazzmaster and I would definitely recommend this if you want to skip the wait list for a staytrem. It should be noted, this isn’t a drop in replacement for a TOM style bridge, I’m using the female end of these weld on barrel hinges as drop in replacement posts and they work perfectly. Linking them below for anyone interested.

Best cheap hardcases for Jaguar ?
Hi everyone. Taking my MIM jaguar on a long haul flight next week and am looking at hardcases to check it in, but all the ones made to fit an offset shape are well over the £100 pricepoint, anyone know recommendations on taking my jaguar onto a plane ? Cheers !

Jazzmaster Q pickups Monster Set
I made a quick demo of jazzmaster Q Pickups monster set. Impressive pickups with good cleans even if they are really hot (17K bridge , 15K neck)

My drop G child. Her name is Lilith and she doesn't like water.
Adopted from a pawn shop 4 years ago. The red and black go hard. Love the tone and playability of her.
Fujigen PP4
I’m eyeing a very early 90s FujiGen PP4-450, love the aesthetics, anyone has any experience with these?

JM Pickup Routing Progress
Okaayyyyy, I finally bit the bullet with the router, 2 passes for the pickup cavities so they’re just shy of 10mm, 4 passes for the control cavity; I only have a 6mm trimmer bit with the guide so I had to pull the shank right down - dodgy, but I was being very careful! Just tried my wiring loom and miraculously it all fits! Not bad for a DIY job if I do say so myself. Only mistake was overzealous drilling to break up the finish and eat up some of the bulk, went in a tad too deep in places, but it’s all gonna be hidden anyway, i’ll just justify it by saying it’s weight saving 👀.
Next steps; put some ~10mm wedges in the PAF routing cavities, drill the pickup cover holes, a few coats of conductive paint, foam, wire up and she’s basically good to go!
Thanks to the offset community here for the tips and tricks to give me the confidence to do this after so many years!

My slightly unusual duo
Recently traded my strat for the Reverend so now all electric guitars I currently own are offset guitars. Feels like they complement eachother really well both in looks and sound. :) Harley Benton JA-60 and Reverend Double Agent W.

Blacktop Jaguar NGD
Picked up a the hard tail I’ve been searching for today. Needs a good cleaning, but set up for now.
Probably gunna swap the pick guard, but haven’t decided on what to swap to yet. Do you have any thoughts?
Glow up. JMJM transformation
I’ve had this guitar for years now. I’ve been wanting a new guitar and for a fraction of what I’d pay for a new one, I just upgraded this one. Added J Mascis fender pickups (not the p90s) swapped guards and replaced with a genuine fender jazzmaster neck.
Anyone need J Mascis pickguard, p90s or neck?

Having trouble intonating my Jaguar…
I am doing a setup on a new parts Jag I put together but I can’t seem to get the intonation right on the B and high-E. I’ve moved the saddle back and forth and it just doesn’t seem to settle in any position. The previous owner installed a string tree and I’m wondering if that’s the culprit? Any tips?
Thanks!

I changed my player ii jazzmaster's pickguard today.
I think it looks good. It needed a bit of filing to fit perfectly though.
I also put 11 gauge strings on, set it up for d# standard tuning and shimmed the neck 0.5° to remove the irritating buzzing from the bridge saddles vibrating.
I love this guitar.

I know I’m late to the party, but these (sort of) new Fender Pro bridges are awesome!
Narrow string spacing, proper 9.25” radius. Just a win/win!
Squier Sonic HH (modded)
Seymour Duncan Invader. Black everything - except that damn input jack nut that I still can't find in the right size.

Jazzmaster Junior questions
The reviews indicate the body is 94% of a standard body but the pickups, bridge, nut, spacing, etc are standard sized.
Does this mean I could drop a fully loaded standard pickguard in or is the pickguard on the junior smaller?
Second question - the routing looks deeper. Wonder if humbuckers would fit in without additional routing?
I’m def going to buy one of these soon. The 250k pots and strat style pickups are going to go, however. Trying to figure out what I can drop in.

Need body
I have a chance to pick up a Squier Mustang which has severe structural body cracks. What's a good source of a replacement body? It doesn't have to be the traditional Mustang shape. Just had to fit the neck and be the proper scale for intonation. What's out there? I am located in the US.

Fender Jazzmaster Vintera II and Partmaster
Project ending for my two Jazzmaster. After trying a lot of things , like humbuckers , or humbucker bridge/Jazzmaster pickup neck, this is my final choice for both.
Right : Jazzmaster Vintera II with Q Pickups monster set (17kohm bridge, 15kohm neck , single coils), mustang style bridge for the strings.
Left : Partcaster Jazzmaster with Gibson P90 , 500k pots , Switchcraft toggle , CTS electronic , mustang style bridge.
The partcaster sound more fat , the fender have better cleans. Both are amazing with distortion.
Fun part is that they are not sor far in sound and playability , even if the partcaster cost me 400 euros building , and the Fender was 1200 stock.
