OK, I had planned on chopping up another piece of the chunk of old growth redwood and make a Jazzmaster-Tele body... I planned on using a Yamaha neck for this build when I started thinking... Since I am trying out a new tremolo, I don't want to route out the redwood for the trem and then decide I don't like the trem... Also, the Yamaha neck is cut different than standard, so if something happens to the neck, it will not be an easy fix...
So, I decided to use both the Yamaha neck and body (The complete guitar cost me 50 bucks, a good buy for just the neck, which is well made)... Since I can't stand vintage or floating trems on strats, the third pickup, or the location of the volume knob, I had nothing to lose... So, I had to route out the trem cavity and the bridge pickup cavity a bit, route out for the tele controls, route a new pick guard, install locking tuners, and install a Graph Tech nut... All I have left to do is solder the output jack, level and crown frets, cut string slots in nut, set action and intonate...
So, it has Dimarzio Twang King pups, Sperzal locking tuners, 4-way switching, Trem King Tele tremolo, graph Tech nut, and a Yamaha EG 112 C2 neck and body...
