I don't think this a real Fender pickguard, it looks too small for the body. Either that or the bodies a copy?

where's the rhythm circuit and the tone knob?  Why are those crap buckers in that guitar?  I'm dissappointed.

If he's looking forward to living out a long life, he'd better stop it.  :D

I don't think that's even a real fender.
It's Lee Ranaldo, so he can pretty much do whatever he wants to whatever he wants.

I think if he destroyed one of his JMs it'd be too much, but for now he's on the edge.
The rythm gutiarist from Feeder usues a lefty that's pretty much exactly the same to that one

It is Lee's and I believe it was an AVRI Jazzmaster to start with. That one is Fiesta red and there is another just like it save for a Sherwood green finish. The pickguard is aftermarket and cut to accept the two Wide Range humbuckers. Obviously, it was also cut without a rhythm circuit or tone control.

In the pic below, that IS Lee playing it, not Thurston.

I think that Lee would know what he needs and what he wants. Those crap buckers are fender burstbuckers. I dont think that they are crappy at all.

Fender burstbuckers? Aren't the gibsons called burstbuckers?
