Re: FINAL BUILD (Silverburst Jazzmaster)
MJT BODY ARRIVED!!! As you can guess I have been working on it this evening. This is what I have done so far. Drooled on it. Test fit stuff. Squared the tremolo rout and drilled mounting holes. Drilled the bridge thimble holes. Added the strap buttons. Just did a coat of shielding paint. Should be killer when it is done. Very happy with the relic. I know some hate that stuff, but I really like it. Only issue I am having is my bridge thimbles are too small for the Mastery bridge legs to fit in it. I will look for other thimbles. Here it is so far.

Re: FINAL BUILD (Silverburst Jazzmaster)
I really like it Chris. Always top notch.
I'd say it is as good a way as any to go out... but I know you have more in you
BTW - What are you using for shielding paint?

Re: MJT Silverburst Jazzmaster
Thanks!
Coming along. Got the guard and pickups mounted. Just waiting on the thimbles to arrive and I will be able to finish it up. Here is how it looks with the mastery bridge just sitting in the cup holes.

Re: MJT Silverburst Jazzmaster
All finished! The thimbles arrived today and I got to work. It all came together really well. The pickups are great sounding. I am really impressed with them. Single coil sounding but no noise. The tuners work great. The opening at the top was a little snug, but I got the string ends in with a little bit of effort. The mastery bridge works great and the mexican tremolo is great. I love having a screw in arm. (Of course it also looks super beautiful.)
Was a fun project.
