Warmoth JM Body, Fender Pickguard fit

[sirspens]

Warmoth says on their website that their bodies are made to fit their pickguards. Does anyone know if an AVRI JM pickguard will fit on a Warmoth JM body?

Yeah. You have to adjust the bridge and neck pickup rout about 1/4 inch on the bottom edges to get it to fit.

Got this body as an impulse buy. I kind of want it as a sibling for my Black Moon Jazzmaster. This one will have humbuckers eventually. Since it is a Warmoth body, I had to modify it to take a Fender pickguard. (The neck and bridge pickups are a tad bit too high towards the neck. I used the router and shaved off the little bit needed. I also used a chisel to square the corners of the tremolo route.

Then I used some IKEA whitewash stain on it. Once it is dry, I will lightly sand it. I might do another coat depending on how it looks.
