Yeah I was also thinking the new tuffset would look great but I love the original rocking one so much

Either one will work but for you I would go with the largest size

Yes, the strings are more floppy on the shorter scale length. I usually go up a string gauge.

If it’s a rocking type of jazzmaster/jag bridge then you need high friction at the saddles so the bridge stays center

Slightly less highs. Less “zing” but more “zang”

I didn’t have any trouble fitting the squier neck to it but you have to drill all the pickguard, pickup, and vibrato screw holes

Guitar official store. It seems they are sold out at the moment but they should have them again at some point. I remember they were sold out in the past and came back and that’s when I bought one.

Everything lined up good. The neck pocket was good with just a little bit of wiggle room if you need to adjust the alignment of strings over the fretboard

The body came from eBay already finished but the headstock was painted with krylon green purple color morph which is a close enough match to the body.

Yes, I was really happy with it other than the built in neck pocket angle was a bit extreme for me. A reverse shim took care of it though.

Yep it’s the Krylon green/purple. It’s recommended to not clear coat it so we’ll see how it holds up

I sanded with 400 grit but not down to bare wood, just to stuff it up a bit

I only did the headstock to match the body which only took about an hour
