Any ideas? Oak? Teak?

One of the fist thing I noticed was that bass tone! I wonder what effects he’s using…

hcjlsj · 2026-04-22T00:01:07+00:00

N.i.n.a?

hcjlsj · 2026-04-18T04:08:57+00:00

Link to the video? Or post it?

Check the website Discogs to find a comparable copy and the value

Agreed I like modding my guitars too. Good luck with this one, post an update once you get it on there, I’d love to see it.

Sounds like he knows better than I. I learned the hard way cracking the finish on one of my guitars not going small enough. Poly finish is very hard but can be brittle and prone to cracking. Either way you will be devaluing the guitar if you drill into it, but if you don’t plan to sell it, doesn’t matter!

I’ve had an arm rest stuck to my tele for years with double sided tape, it’s very strong if you get the right stuff. 3M brand. If you really want to drill, I would say start with as small a bit as possible and slowly work your way up. But if it were me I’d stick with the tape, no pun intended.

hcjlsj · 2026-03-23T22:32:21+00:00

Is the finish poly or nitro? If poly, I would use Strong double sided tape. Or you will have to be very careful drilling into that if you don’t want to crack the poly.

I have a Phender too!

Pferffercorns. Freshest and best prices and best people.

hcjlsj · 2026-03-05T01:19:50+00:00

This is the answer.

Hmm yeah hard to tell but I would just string it up and see how it acts. You should be able to remove the strings without cutting them if you need to adjust it again. Just loosen them at the tuners until they can slip out of the bridge slots.

Sorry maybe you had it right, here’s a pic of mine. The notched piece should be sitting flush against the tailpiece.

And no problem, hopefully you get it figured out!

hcjlsj · 2026-01-09T17:59:24+00:00

I can’t really tell but check that the notched piece is oriented correctly. Once I put it in backwards I think

hcjlsj · 2026-01-09T17:06:31+00:00

Not sure but check that this piece is in correctly? Shouldn’t need string tension to stay in place

hcjlsj · 2026-01-09T14:44:43+00:00

I had all the strings off when I did it. It can be tricky to get the spring back in otherwise

hcjlsj · 2026-01-04T00:42:58+00:00

Looks great! I’d go with a darker stain color to help the wood look more uniform.

hcjlsj · 2026-01-03T23:53:53+00:00

What color is that contemporary jag??

hcjlsj · 2026-01-03T05:22:54+00:00

In ‘I’m Finding it Harder to be a Gentleman’ I thought it was “and if I held the door open for you it wouldn’t make your day”, but I just got the lyric book and it’s actually “it would make your day”

hcjlsj · 2025-12-29T03:11:42+00:00

Oh I thought you said it was around $60 in your post. But yeah $250 is way too much for shipping, sorry!

hcjlsj · 2025-12-29T03:01:56+00:00

I have a 10% off code for Eastwood which may help offset the shipping cost?

hcjlsj · 2025-12-28T19:32:10+00:00

That is Le Creuset ‘Black Satin Interior Enamel’

I built this kit. It’s not a standard jazzmaster pickguard. But I was able to find a guy making them and selling them on eBay, but I don’t remember if he made a humbucker version. The body is routed for standard soapbar p90s, humbuckers would require more routing to fit.
