How does the strings bend? Or is it too soon to tell  cuz of the action?
My jaguar feels good to play, but when it comes to bending, my Strat and Heritage beats it by miles. It CAN bend, but you can't go Frusciante like the outro of Wet Sand or anything else he plays live without fighting like a champ.

Really easy, its a 10" radius neck. Its just like playing a strat. The mastery bridge is really good shit.

Yea, I've heard that the Jazzmaster is more Stratish. Any buzzing?
My Jag has periods of no buzz, and periods of lots of buzz... Kinda annoying, but I really don't wanna replace the original 68' bridge.
Because of that and the bending, I am playing with the thought of selling it and going for something like a Jazzmaster, but the risk is selling and ending up regretting it, so I'll just wait and see. Think I could sell it with a profit though.

Get a mastery bridge and just hold on to the original.

The neck i bought is a strat neck, not a jazzmaster one. Dont like huge radii.

Norwegian customs will make it kinda prizy, but I guess only the best is good enough for my Jag. Definitley looking into it.
Checked ebay, but nothing there. Found a lot of sweet vintage Jazzmasters though, which ended up with me looking at 62' strats... And NOTHING good ever comes out of looking at 62 strats. Olivias Vintage got one that has had one owner. Gives the word mint condition a new meaning... Even got all the tags and stuff.

But back to Master bridges, if I were to order and it doesn't fit, do I get to return it? How did you know yours would fit?

[Jamesssssssss]

mastery bridge.

they fit guaranteed. It will fit an actual vintage american fender fosho. Its what it was designed to retrofit.

Plus i have the cash, im never gonna have an opportunity like this again, so im gonna go all out and build the best damn guitar in the world.  

Damn right, that's what's up.

[Jamesssssssss]

Ok.. after nearly a month since ordering my duncan antiquity II's have arrived. Man these things are gorgeous. They look incredible. Like an actual 50 year old pickup. Going to put them in to day. Guitar will be playable/making sound by the end of the weekend 

[son of gumby]

i stayed out of this thread because i didn't think you'd progress this fast.  your build is coming out great! i really liked your video also.  i thumbed you, as cheezyridr, my alter ego (one of them)

[Jamesssssssss]

Thanks 

Piickups in but not working, not had enough time to finish it sadly this weekend.
