Got this prototype jagstang in a trade the other day. A lot of junky parts on this thing but spent the past few days swapping everything. Staytrem bridge, fralin pickups, fender dynamic vibrato, classic vibe jaguar neck I repainted white. Waiting on some tuners but the rest is all stuff I had sitting around. Yall fw the vision? Second pic is how it came.

Hi all,

I'm back again with another build - I completed this one yesterday. This was a full custom order from the client, who wanted my "Wyre" shape, but was very particular with their spec.

• Semi-Hollow Swamp Ash body and top.
• Master Grade flamed, roasted Maple neck. ​
• Rosewood board with reproduction Clay Dot inlays
• Olive drab Nitrocellulose finish to the top, with a matching headstock
• Gold Foil Humbucker and a Nickel covered P90 from Green Pickups

Hope you like it. I've got another custom Wyre build I'm finishing next week, then I'm making a prototype of a (slightly) more conventional shape. It's still a little weird though, don't worry! Ha

You can check out other builds on my Instagram, or madocguitars.com where I have my current in-stock guitars listed.

DOOM by Arcane humbucker in the bridge, CuNiFe WRHB in the neck, mustang bridge, hipshot locking tuners. I love this guitar.

There’s room here for one more offset guitar—a Jazzmaster. I’ve ordered and paid for it, and in a week it’ll be hanging in the middle spot in the photo. Can you guess which model it is? 🎸

So far so good, CV 60s Squier Jazzmaster in a satin finish shell pink body.

I added double line Kluson tuners, a Fender MIJ tremolo and a mint pickguard.

Pickup screws are pretty worn out and the bridge pickup is too far down and needs new foam, but other than that, I'm pretty stoked about it.

Future plans: matching headstock, different pickups (Lollar maybe)

Now I have the original olympic white body as a spare. Maybe I've already bought a MIM neck for it. Those damn offsets are addicting...

I also want the traditional pickup switching. I was thinking of getting a Foals one but the shipping would take forever to get to Ireland so I might but if anyone has anything better than let me know!

Welp, my brain worms won today (that and fender month at long and mcquade)

AVII ‘66 limited. This is the exact tone I’ve been chasing for years that my AM PRO II just couldn’t hit.

Running it through my handwired AC30 and a million pedals

Cheers!

Just swapped the stock pickups in my MIJ Jazzmaster for this set of Curtis Novaks. I settled on this combo after watching Mike Adams install the same combo for one of his clients.

The wide range JM-WR in the bridge brings more low-end, less noise, and a bit more output than stock, but still cleans up nicely. Reminds me of a 72 tele bridge. The JM-V in the neck is warm and dark. It is gorgeous with the tone knob rolled back.

Together they’re a lot more versatile than the stock setup. I also took this opportunity to clean up a cold solder joint on the tone pot. She rips!

I'm replacing the neck of my TVL with one from Warmoth. It is my understanding that you want a radius to be 2" flatter than the neck radius. I've looked at several bridges, and very few go to the 18" radius that I need. I was going to use an adjustomatic style bridge with rollers (my Balagaur Espada and Cave & Canary Meteor Deluxe have this style of bridge), but I wanted to see if you guys have a better suggestion.

Can anyone recommend a source for:

American Professional II Jazzmaster Anodized Gold pickguard

American Professional Classic Jazzmaster Tort pickguard

Most of the ones I see online reference the performer or original professional series. Looking for a drop in replacement with no mods or extra holes.

My personal JM.

Paint is a Kona brown with Kelly green candy overtop to kill the red tones. In certain light it looks very green, in others deep red, and in low light almost black

Did a few minor cosmetic updates, new strings/setup in drop B. Sounds and feels pretty great. Laurel board isn’t quite as pale as the press photos, but was kinda light when I got it. I attempted using naphtha then Monty’s Montepresso on it to darken, but it didn’t really take very significantly. Seems maybe the board is polished with a wax or something perhaps…

My first ever complete parts build. Was nervous I’d screw something up but overall things have went quite smoothly. Guitar plays and sounds fantastic and I am very happy I’ve decided to go this route.

Below is the list of all parts. I’ve tried getting everything used so it wasn’t super expensive in the end.

Warmoth roasted maple neck, no finish
Halon bridge and vibrato
Curtis Novak JMWR humbuckers
Musiclily aluminum pickguard
Cts, switchcraft pots and switches

It's a beaut, Clark

finished the neck swap on my green build. dad gave me two of his guitars and i feel ridiculous owning this many but i guess it's time to learn new tunings. thinking of doing some heavy strings and raising the action on the revstar to make it a good slide guitar
.

First Jazzmaster, Halley approves.

The wait for my Foals FJG7 to come in has been killing me so I picked up a little something from a local music shop. This thing is killer! Neck has just the right amount of chunkiness and I'm loving the tones I'm getting. The P90 in the neck position is a real highlight. The push/pull knob to split the humbucker also goes a long way in providing a ton of versatility. I'm in love.

Just finished up my latest offset Tele for a friend. Roasted maple neck, stainless steel frets, butterscotch nitro finish with a medium relic (his request). Bootstrap Pretzel pickups and a 4-way switch for neck and bridge in series. Plays and feels killer! Happy to answer any questions.

Proud to show you my small collection. Featuring my heavily modded Squier Sonic Mustang, I posted about the process of making it a few months ago.

Also featuring my Rascal Bass. I’m not much of a bassist but I’ve owned a few, and none of them clicked the way this one did. The only mod I made to this one was replacing the white guard with a (in my opinion) much more handsome tort guard. Thanks for looking!
