I see you have a JB Jr,nice pickup.I have the same one in my Bronco with a 500k pot and it sounds great.

How does it sound compared to a full size one?

@HNB:

I think that 'll look great with the black/white/black guard on it and white pickups.

Mind to get the TB-4 JB instead of the common sh-4 due to the spacing of the poles.

I made that mistake and had to buy another one

Looks like they can do it. Emailed them. I will post back what I hear. Really appreciate the advice!
Update: Tony emailed back. (He is fast!) Sounds like it might be doable. He thinks it would be about $40 for a Black/White/Black and $50 if I want to go with the stock white pearl with the humbucker route. Sounds great to me. I am just confirming he can do the route for me with a tracing of my stock pickguard.
Any opinions on what to get? I am leaning towards a black one because stock is... well stock. I have seen them with a tort pickguard. Seems a little weird on red. Any ideas?

Well done on looking them up 😀 The always seemed reputable to me. I can't suggest ideas to you (that's purely to your own taste), but I always wanted to get a pickguard made in the 'aged pearloid' that they offer.

I never had a JB humbucker,just a JB Jr but I would think a JB will sound a lot fuller.

@Silenus I am leaning towards a black/red/black if I can get it or a black/white/black. I would have it routed for a standard (non-slanted) humbucker so I think the regular JB humbucker would probably work?

@Robbmonster The aged pearloid is like a cream vs white I think? If I end up going for white, I will do this.

@Libtoem I hear that the Jr is a bit more compressed. (Different range. Less highs and mids.) Mine coming in has a Jr. I will do a sound test with that and compare it to my Agile with the full size JB in it and post it. They are different guitars, but should still give sort of a gound to compare.

^ according to the text below, and many people on this site that gave me very good information,

you should get an F-spaced or trembucker for your Fender

Very good to know! Thanks for that. I would have thought their F Spaced was the Fender spaced. I will get the TB-4 then.

Yup, unless you want to replace your bridge with a TOM, better get a TB-4.

I think the Tune-O-Matic would be more work for not too much gain unless I got a new neck with a different radius. (Since I will have the hard tail conversion.)

What? 😕

Didn't you post the series of Mustang photos including an orange one, a Dakota red, and a blue comp? Or were you quoting PurpleHaze's post?

Musta been his photos. My error.

It came in today! I will do that audio recording of the JB jr. and the full size JB in a few minutes. Might take a little bit to get the video uploaded.

By the way I was shocked to see the shop tags and paperwork included. Totally cool. Also has a Fender guitar bag. Very cool! Killer buy.

Here is my audio sample of the Jr vs the normal size JB.

All original. The previous owner had put a lil 59n in the bridge for some reason. stupid. i took it out and put the stock fender single coil and... it sounds like an old guitar. In a very good way! weak ass 5-6k single coils. I'm loving it.

Here it is mostly assembled. The bridge is installed but I need to connect my switches to my volume pot before I can screw it down and add my knobs. Might be done tonight!
