A crappy picture of my Jazzmaster:
The pickguard was suppose to be mint green, but it's more green-creamy-white.
Pickups are the "Original" Jazzmaster pickups by Jess Loureiro, with Heavy formvar 42 AWG wire and alnico 2 magnet. They sound awesome!

I never cared for maple on offsets before, but with the sunburst and mint(-ish) guard, it looks pretty snazzy IMO.
Even the strat jack looks less...irritating with the sunburst, still don't like it on the yellow.
Nicely done on the mods!

Nice work! I have no router, so I had to do the top mounted trem.

Thank you! I don't like the strat jack on strats, but I like it on the jazzmaster for some reason.

Thanks! I don't have a router either. I used a drill, a screwdriver and a hammer

Haha awesome! I wish there was a thread on making guitars with the wrong/"everybody has them" tools

Awesome Looks like a Golden Raygun. I was considering doing this with a Hallmark Shade Trem

Sinuata, I love what you did with that Bigsby, and I'd like to do the same with my VMJM Special blonde. Any tips about how to get the sting angle right so they pass from trem through the bridge properly???
