New Jazzmaster build

[EL34]

The parts list:
When I turned the Jazz-O-Caster into the Baricaster, I had the Strat neck laying around
It's a really nice All Parts maple neck.
I have a black Jazzmaster pick guard that I took off the Squier Jazzmaster
I have the nut that was on the Jazz-O-Caster neck so I don't need to make a new nut
I have string trees on hand
I have a set of Jazzmaster pickups that came off the Squier Jazzmaster, but I will probably order another set of Mojo Jazzmaster pickups
I'll have a listen to the Squier pickups first and then decide

I ordered a Primo Jazzmaster body in Mystic teal from All Parts that has the Strat trem routing's
All Parts stocks several colors of the Primo Jazzmaster bodies
The quality is outstanding on these bodies.

So now the build begins
My Strat neck fit the body pocket perfectly.
Just a tiny bit snug and the neck screws aligned perfectly.

I had to drill all the pick guard holes.
I will be drilling and installing the two pivot post for the bridge
The tuners dropped into place because that is what was on the neck on the Jazz-O-Caster

The Tuners are Fender 0990820100 American Standard Guitar Tuning Machines
I have these on 3 guitars and they are great

The bridge is Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster '86-Present Electric Guitar Bridge
I have this bridge on 3 guitars also
It has a push in trem arm
I hate screw in trem arms

I installed a Gibson pickup switch, two CTS 250k guitar pots and a Switchcraft 11 jack

The bridge will be here later today
It's always a bit nerve wracking drilling those trem post holes in the right place

I love that green color, and it goes really well with the black pickguard.

I like that green also.
It's way better in person than in the photo

I have the bridge installed and the pick guard is wired up

I am waiting on a couple small items
I ran out of black pick guard screws
I needed a neck bolt plate
Those items are supposed to be here today
