Ooh, thanks, that's a good tip!
Talk about the Fender Jazzmaster, Jaguar, and any other offset waist guitars with us!

This is an absolute life saver! Thanks!ctu wrote: ↑Sun Jun 12, 2022 12:29 pmFor the European customers - shims from Paris for 7.50 EUR, to avoid those ridiculous prices from Stewmac (or Emma):

I paid postage 1.5 EUR, received it after a less than a week. Turns out I do not need it but nevertheless.
earlpilanz, AKA Brian, is super duper helpful and has made me maybe a dozen or more pickguards (of which many were custom requests). Sometimes you need to do a teeny bit of fettling to get his to fit perfectly but the prices are great and worth that little extra effort IMHOsuperficial wrote: ↑Sun Oct 02, 2022 2:51 pm
Does anyone know if the 'vintage mint' by earlpilanz on eBay is tasteful? This guy also does samples which might help to answer the question, I suppose.
You are welcome, luckily there is alternative to Stewmac.
I bought my white from IKNMusic, but I remember seeing some nice mint ones. IKN has a shop on Amazon, Ali, or you can buy direct. EyMusic had some but I don't know what is the situation now, IKNMusic had what I needed (20 EUR three-ply white for 20 EUR including shipping, american vintage and squier vintage/classic compatible).superficial wrote: ↑Sun Oct 02, 2022 2:51 pmAny tips for sourcing a (nice!) mint pickguard in the UK? It's to go on an Ocean Turquoise AO. I can't find the official Fender one in stock anywhere in the UK and most of the aftermarket ones I have found seem to come in a horrible luminous shade.
Anyone got a source I should try?

I don't think you can buy them as a set. For some reason, they're only sold individually. I have no idea why. Darren Riley has them for $10/each, though.efiug wrote: ↑Fri Jan 13, 2023 12:11 amanyone know of anywhere selling the mustang style F tuners with the plastic buttons as a set of 6 and not just individually? seems rather silly to buy 6 individually packaged tuners.
0013189049 is the part number for the individual tuner to get an idea of what I'm talking about.
Same question for me. Looking to build a Jazzmaster neck, big headstock, blocks and binding.hotsawce wrote: ↑Tue Oct 12, 2021 9:46 amWho is making some of the best bang-for-the-buck custom necks right now?
Musikraft seems great...anyone else?
I think I want to get a high quality neck made to replace my CV neck. I like the radius and the fret height (6105s I think?) but a higher quality neck would send the guitar over the top.
I went all out with a MusiKraft neck and I love it - totally worth it. Lots of options. Here's a link to my partsbuild with the Musikraft neck and an MJT body - lots of photos, too - viewtopic.php?f=8&t=122917&hilit=Musikraft#p1731455.PearlJamNoCode wrote: ↑Tue May 09, 2023 6:22 pmSame question for me.
