Yeah I decided to stick with the Jaguar pups for now due to cost and the possibility of screwing up the new guard. Glad you like it!

Did you have to ad channels between the control cavities?
I finally finish building a guitar, go to play it, and then remember, "oh yeah, that's right. I suck at playing... Why did I build another guitar again?"

Nope. I did have to file the switch holes on the guard which was pretty time consuming but well worth it.

Btw, the added Staytrem bridge and tremolo upgrade are rock solid. Highly recommended.

Decided to stick with the Jag pickups for now but I got a Jazzmaster for Jaguar pickguard template cut!
What kind of material is that?
