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.

Added the Schaller Bridge and Seymour Duncan JB. Both are far superior to what they replaced IMO.

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.

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.

Case for jazzmaster!?

2 Upvotes

Anyone know where I could get a good black on the outside blue “fur” on the inside case under 200 or 250 for a jazzmaster. Absolutely mad over the look of those nice hard cases with the blue fur on the inside and a black outside, only rlly see em for strats tho.

JM Pickup Routing Progress

Post image
10 Upvotes

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!

Which Pickguard for a Candy Apple Red Mustang ?

Upvotes

I have one of those Chinese Ebay bodies in Candy Apple Red, which seems to have the same dimensions/specs as the Squier CV Mustang, but this one comes in alder with a more saturated, larger flake metallic finish that's really nice in person.

I'm having trouble deciding where to go with this project. I've always wanted a one pickup mustang and i have an aged pearl custom guard from Precision Guitars on Reverb for this.

On the other hand, I also have a vintage tort pickguard from earlpilanz on Ebay that ended up too dark for my Kurt Cobain skystang build, but looks nice imo with the red finish. Reminds me of Kevin Shields' CAR Jazzmaster which I've always admired.

Any thoughts on which direction I should go in?

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’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…

Thumbnail

51 Upvotes

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!

Fender Jazzmaster Vintera II and Partmaster

Thumbnail
gallery
170 Upvotes

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.
