Hi Guys
I have a great telemaster body with me.
Been using it for ages but I came to the fact that I would like it to feature a Jazzmaster trem and a Jazzmaster bridge....
Now the hunt starts: does anyone know who can mod this standard telemaster body to my specs without ruining the paint job ?
Has to be located in EU (obvious shipping cost and customs).
Thanks in advnace for your help
Cheers
Fabz

Hi,
If it was my body, I would try to find a professional luthier locally to save shipping costs. Any skilled luthier should be able to do these mods without harming the paint job. The only problem I see are tele's original bridge screw and through body holes that would have to be filled and the area repainted as I dont see any other solution if you want to just use jazzmaster bridge without tele bridge plate.
I've seen some tele-styled bridge plates with jazzmaster bridge so that could be a solution for that problem? Don't know who makes them, but here is a Dano with such bridge plate:

yes I am after a pro or someone talented with the tools.
My aim is to go this way
The tele plate will cover the holes. On the back, i don't care if the strig through bushings are visible.
