WOOT.

Blacktop body from Ends, Mighty Mite Tele neck, AV trem (stolen from my poor Jaguar)

The trem doesnt quite fit, it's getting caught up on the body. So clearly the blacktop has some other trem specs.
Also the pickup mounting screws/holes for the JM pickup are different. I swapped out the PU cover and had to drill out bigger holes to mount the cream cover.
Weird. Anyway, I think this is going to be my baritone body as soon as the neck arrives, provided I get strings long enough to reach from the bridge to the tuners.

Neck pickup is ultra-classy, has the thick bottom end and spanky top you expect from a Jazzmaster. Bridge pickup sounds like an aluminum turd clean, but brings out harmonics well with dirt, and has some low end balls to it as well!

BONUS: My wife thinks it super ugly! WIN!

PS, I'm not at all sorry for the crappy cell phone pic.

I likey

That's a winning combination. "Aluminum Turd" is a good band/song/guitar name too...

Weird! The tele headstock makes it.

were they spaced the same?...just different screw size?

as with this guitar, i like how it's more in the JM direction with only the tele headstock, keeping the JM neck pup and Jag/JM trem. staying away from the telemaster's bridge and pickup set up........(not bashing the telemaster, just thinking outloud)..

anywayzzzzzzzzzz.

for the life of me i can't remember ever hearing an aluminum turd.
