Re: Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster Makeover
What's the radius on that bridge? Is it a large improvement over the TOM for trem use?

Gotcha. I'm on the fence. 14 is even more of a mismatch than the 12 on the TOM. I may just hold out for a mastery when I have the funds

Re: Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster Makeover
Wow, that looks great. Certainly a great color combo that you don’t see often. Single pickup JM’s do look pretty sweet in a stripped down form, but that neck pickup just sounds too glorious to ditch.
Why don’t you like the jack placement? Is this something that can be addressed with an angled cable?

Agreed, my go to sound on this guitar is the middle position, sounds really good.TeenageShutdown! wrote: ↑Thu Sep 27, 2018 3:23 pmWow, that looks great.

I've never liked that placement on guitars, from Strats to SGs, even with angled cables, just a preference thing when playing.

Finally got around to completing this. This has gotten a lot of use for various videos, covers and live shows, overall a comfortable guitar to play.
Will post a video with clips & blasphemous mods relatively soon.
Pickguard screws aren't black, I took them from the donor strat and are completely rusted, thought it looked cool.

Wow, looks great. I had in my head that it wasn’t easy to do a straight swap for a Strat neck - were any adjustments needed or was it an easy quick fit?

Re: Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster Makeover
What was the reasoning behind filling the neck pickup area with epoxy? Can't immediately think of one
Jazzmaster project (got a body, placeholder neck, some pickups and ideas)
