Hi guys, I'm building a JM body from scratch and I need to know the distance between the heels end of the neckpocket to where the bridge holes are.
I've got aprox. 180mm, can some confirm this is right please?
Thank you!

Re: Need measurements JM
Thank you but I've got many pdf files and they're all a bit different...I need someone to measure his JM. I can barely see the files you've attached it's very pale. I appreciate though!

I'd go with 7.125"

Re: Need measurements JM
Thanks! That's what I drew my fusion 360 CAD but for some reason the pickguard bridge holes don't align perfectly, is that normal? I've got it off amazon a while ago and it's from Musiclilly and they're usually on point. Did you measure a jazzmaster that you have or got it's from a online PDF/Electricherald ?
Someone off and I wondering who...I'm going to my local music store to settle the score.

Re: Need measurements JM
I measured a couple American Jazzmasters and I think 7.125" is accurate, but I didn't take them apart. Although I also have an MIM that seems to be closer to 7.167" but a Decoboom pickguard I have laying around looks more like 7.125" also.
