Nice guitar man.
On the trem arm, try tightening the spring tension screw, that’ll bring the bar away from the guard man.
Thanks! I was gonna give that a try, but it's just generally a stiff trem anyway and definitely bottoms out a bit. Not sure if I'm gonna look into replacing it or removing some material and raising the arm. We'll see.
On another note, I just order some Lollar Black Bobbins to go in this puppy.
Edit: Just wanted to throw this out there for anyone looking to buy one of these... they advertise a thinner 1.62 nut or something which it's definitely somewhat skinnier up there, but the neck definitely has a little bit of chunk to the shape of it. Very, very comfortable though.

Looks awesome! Where did you end up getting it from?
Ebay, but I didn't pay the crazy $1,800 some of these sellers are asking.
I was thinking of getting the same, would you mind sharing the seller or posting, or anyway a little bit about how was your experience (communication, delay, custom etc)?

Sure. The seller was Zenasas (
https://www.ebay.com/usr/zenasas?_trksi ... 2749.l2754 )... I ordered on a Friday night and got it the following Thursday. Super quick delivery and I was updated with status emails the entire time. Shipping was a little high, but with how fast it came, I really don't mind. Hope that helps!

Might be too late to ask, have you changed your PUs and electronics? How do you like it?
I'm going to buy same heritage jazzmaster and I'm wondering if this guitar has same pickups as MIJ ones( strat pu no jazzmaster pu)
and US CTS pots like mij hybrid jazzmaster.

You should probably get drunk more often.
Back in those days, everyone knew that if you were talking about Destiny's Child, you were talking about Beyonce, LaTavia, LeToya, and Larry.
