After discovering your channel I intended to leave a comment describing how an April 2017 Premier Guitar article titled "DIY: How To Set Up Jazzmasters & Jaguars" helped me so much after I'd purchased a Jazzmaster-style guitar. I found it invaluable. Thought you might find it interesting. Then I discovered you wrote the article.

At first I was like, “Woah, I have that same screwdriver.” Then, we saw that Phillips come out of the woodwork and I nearly pooped myself because I have that same unit here with my rig items. But, when that big old familiar flathead came out for a gulp of fresh air while getting in some screw time, I came to the conclusion that maybe you and Kyle are stealing my tools and touching my thermostat. I’m not sure where I stand on this. Best case scenario, you have good taste in Sears tools from the late 90’s. Worst case scenario, you have been in my garage and now I need to do a full inventory of my rig gear, especially my prized wide-format grommet collection from truckstop bathroom stalls across the Midwest.

Oh yes Mike, this is going to be great! Can't wait to see the finished product, but more importantly I'm excited for the journey there :) I'd be hesitant to mess with the brass shielding plates though, it's not a very reactive metal and so once the surface has oxidised that's pretty much it forever. Shiny is good though, so either way it's fine 👍 Hope you and the family are well

I'm no expert, but that Brazilian rosewood fretboard appears to have been dried-out to the point of forming cracks, so instead of a smooth surface now it's all cracked-up. I'd put on larger/higher frets to get my fingers off of that, maybe 6105 size? Keep those rosewood boards oiled-up!

As the owner of a '59 refin, I found this episode quite interesting. Two questions: in your experience, which works better - the aluminum shield or copper shielding tape? And secondly, now that you have everything off the body, what does it weigh? My '59 is so wonderfully light, while a parts build Jazzmaster I made, feels like a brick in comparison.
@Puisheen3 жыл бұрын
I think there's a negligible difference between copper vs the shielding plate on the guard. If you have the plate, no need to change that. Not sure what this one weighs as I don't have a scale. Not super heavy and not super light. Average.

Most folks do this sort of work on pawn shop level guitars. I only hope that people understand that you only do this with player grade guitars. If you do this (refinish which he didn't do, or re-radiusing the fretboard) with an all original vintage guitar, it becomes player grade.

Mike, if Pancake or Artoo had tuners fail, like fail fail, would you find vintage-correct tuners, or buy new ones?

Good question! I keep a few sets of aged Gotoh tuners on hand for this exact reason. I don't know that I'd go all-out and try to find vintage or NOS tuners, personally. I can always keep the originals and store them, but the point of having the thing is to play the heck out of it so as long as a fresh set of tuners work great and don't require modifying the headstock, I'm happy. Fingers crossed that doesn't happen!
