offset parts HELP!

Post by supergerbil » Sun Jun 08, 2008 9:24 am

So, I'm building a jazmmaster influenced guitar, but in the book on guitar making I have it does not cover a few specific things:

1, How do the mustang bridge mounting cups fit to the body? Glue?

2, How do jazmmaster pickups attatch to the body? I have pickups/covers and screws. Do you just route the shape of the cover and screw it in?

Thanks in advance

Friction - you just need to drill the holes the right size - 9mm I think, but check first.

Yes - they need foam underneath to allow for some adjustment - they don't just screw right down to the wood.

Best thing to do is spend some time reading the project posts in the mods/projects/restoration section.
