Dumped gold guard from 40th Anv. Squier JM

I have that guard, too.

LOVE the sticker! The refit Constitution is my favorite design. Where did you get it?

I found an overhead image of the ol' gal, turned it into a silhouette, and added the lines, all inspired by Decoboom's "Rockets Away". Then I bought some adhesive vinyl and went over my best friend's house to use her Cricut.

It also ended up on the Banshee that Doug Kauer built for Puisheen.

Those black guards all look really great.

I'm guessing these EY guards are spec'd for "standard" 73mm-ish Jazzmaster bridge post spacing?
My SqJMJM has 74mm post spacing and the AOM-style bridge posts, so I suspect it'd be just a hair off from working as a direct replacement.

Yeah, standard JM pickguard setup. Same with their plastic guards (which, BTW, their mint is DAMN close to the AVRI Fender mint) but either way if you have to file a touch it'll be under the bridge ().

We offsetters think alike, I guess. I too wanted to pay homage to the prototype/Tavares JM as soon as I saw the 40th anniversary Squier.

Here is mine, affectionately nicknamed "Data".

It really does gain a vintage look, more than the gold guard does (ironically).

I have absolutely no interest in a black pickguard.

I have that guard, too.

Never mind, I badly want to steal this idea. I love that ship as well as how subtlety awesome your design is.

Admittedly I stole the general idea from Decoboom's "Rockets Away" but I wanted the refit Constitution class Enterprise instead of a generic rocket, so I designed it and got my best friend to cut it out of adhesive vinyl with her Cricut.

Wow, what a great look. I usually hate black on white and think it looks cheesey/80's, but it takes on a whole new life on a Jazzmaster!

PS - Decoboom makes some really cool stuff.

They do, but I feel like Paramount/CBS (whatever they call themselves this week) would sue Decoboom for the use of the silhouette of a refit Constitution class starship. So I made my own!

Shh, don't give them any ideas!

I dumped the gold as well and went for black aluminum, and black plastics. I was going for the 1958 prototype look

Excellent!
One question regarding the guitar: is the nut width of neck on this model indeed 42,8 mm as mentioned in the specs?
