added a reverend roller bridge which required reaming the bridge thimble holes. After that I had to put a 1 degree shim in the neck but it all works great together. I swapped the trem with a leftover J Mascis JM trem. locking tuners and a reverend triple tree. the nut was a disaster when i got it, but string spacing was good.. I cleaned it up but may still replace the nut. besides that I just swapped the pickup covers and knobs and sprayed the pickguard. I'd like to make a anodized gold pickguard for it. the electronics and pickups sound great to me so those can stay.
originally I was going to swap the neck from my J Mascis JM also, but it was a lot of work to redrill holes and I actually like the neck on this. It could use some bigger frets but it's not that bad.
After I played a bunch of guitars and went back to a jazzmaster I felt like I was holding a surfboard.. they're just too big. This thing is the perfect size. I really like everything about it.
