3 coats in




I am going to give it a sand smooth and then a 4th coat.

Someone asked on instagram if I plan on clear coating it and I am not entirely sure what to do in that reguard.
Speaking of guards I am in talks with someone to make me a black anodised aluminium guard with Jaguar switches instead of a toggle.

Just saw your pic on insta and it looks amazing. I reckon a black anodised guard would be quality too. Personally I’d always pick a toggle over Jag switches though.

100% knew the switches would be unpopular! its partially for the look. But on my black jag I have wired it with series parallel mod and I really like it. Plus having the strangle switch will be cool.

Yeah fair play, I had the series/parallel mod on my old Jag when I had P90s in it and it sounded huge. What pickups are you putting in this one?

Not sure. I used to really like my antiquity II's I used to have.

That looks fantastic. Tru-oil clear?

Yeah that might a good shout. I tried a little renaissance wax on some scrap I tried the stain on first and it kinda lifted the stain off. So I am going to have to be careful.

Cool. Probably not your thing but I’ve got a Jazzy Vmod bridge pup in my parts box you can have for cheepz if you need.

Cheers Thom. Yeah I should be sensible and accept the kind offer...but I am going to have to stick to the traditional jazzmaster pickup construction for this one.

Wise man, it’s a shit bridge pup anyway (though I do like the neck version)

haha the hard sell

I reckon if those Jaggly switches are black against a dark scratchy (or the opposite) it'll look super sick, stealthy

I agree...I am trying to decide how far I go with the black colour scheme. Like screws? Bridge? Tremolo?

I personally love keeping the metal screws against black; Puisheen's 'Vader' is such a beast that I always look to longingly:

Kinda Halford-esq

Yeah good example!
You can get a cheapo black trem and bridge from amazon and reverb. Rather than the anodised mastery stuff that will be fuck ton expensive.

For my money, it'll still look great with chrome hardware; another similar model by the same geezer

found a brushed mastery tremolo on reverb for less than normal but its in Singapore...no idea on how long that will take or tax bollox.

plus its a mastery.
