I spent a little time today making a 12 mm MDF template;A while back I also made a body blank out of some dressed cedar so I figured......Now that the mahogany Tele is nowhere near finished I figured it's time to start another project! Anyone got a jazzmaster pickguard they want to sell?

Subscribed.

Been doing some sanding. Some of the grain on this cedar is lovely. Unfortunately the body is 4 pieces so it'll end up a solid colour. Here it is with a neck;

meh make a feature of the joins! Thats looking good - can't wait to see it added to the pile of unfinished projects!

Due to the nature of my job, I have a bad habbit of looking at materials from work and thinking, 'that'll make a nice guitar'. Then I buy one or two more bits and it gets added to the project pile. It's a disease, could be worse etc...

I know, I have several projects still in pieces.
Currently include -
Ibanez RG, only fitting a floyd too it. Got bummed out with routing error.
Parker look a-likey from Korina - its carved but at the time I thought it needed a hex pickup. So I need to fill that bit in and finish sanding etc.
SX Tele body, sprayed with black nitro and currently hanging around with my big pile of tools. It won't look authentic, it'll just look like its been hanging around with spanners for a year.
Korina bodied Strat. Korina is quite soft, the posts for the two bridge trem broke through. This will end up being a hard tail. Probably.
Hohner steinberger look a like. another with a built in hex pickup. Too be fair, both of these hex pickup annoyances were before the tripleplay.
I think thats the lot at the moment....

You gonna do a JM trem or just go stop tailpiece?

I'd like to do JM trem. How about Bigsby B50 and tuneomatic?

Actually I’ve still got that JM style bridge you gave me, I never used it....do you want it back?

I'd really like to try a Cedar body electric. For some reason I think it'd go great with a pair of Lollar low wind Imperials or maybe Filtertrons.

Sure!

I have a black/white/black pickguard you can have.
I ended up making a split guard for my jazzmaster.
p.s. you wont regret the mahaogany tele!

Always had soft spot for cedar, I have an old short scale acoustic with a cedar top and always wondered what an electric would sound like.

I'm after some kluson style tuners. Anyone got some for sale/trade?
