HNB 56 Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 With the help of a forum buddy, I scored this off of guitar center cheap. I am pretty impressed. It has some dents and dings, but is in pretty great shape. I love the glitter finish. I am thinking some metal humbuckers might be next to go in.

johnnykazz 13 Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Nickel or chrome humbuckers would look great in there. Awesome guitar. HNGD! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HNB 56 Posted December 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 The plan: Can we fix it? Yes. Yes we can. by Hentai No Baka, on Flickr Went to work taking the pickguard off and removing the electronics. I also took the neck off to clean since the body will need a little routing for the WRHB to fit.

HNB 56 Posted January 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 I picked up a new neck from another Jagmaster. It had a Jazzmaster decal that had been applied. I figure I could put a custom decal on. If I want it to go back to stock, I can put the first neck back on. Needed to add some clear coat before I get to adding a decal. IMG_2196 by Hentai No Baka, on Flickr This is the decal I want to use. It is from a series called Evangelion. Thought it would be fun.

HNB 56 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Custom pickguard is on its way tomorrow. I got the email from Tony at Pickguardian today. Tomorrow I am going to print out my decal to apply on the headstock. Should be really cool! I am excited to see how that turns out. Pics will surely follow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HNB 56 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Decal went on GREAT. I even dotted the eyes with silver. Very pleased with how it looks. IMG_2208 by Hentai No Baka, on Flickr IMG_2209 by Hentai No Baka, on Flickr Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HNB 56 Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Pickguard came! Worked great. I had to do some minor routing to allow the larger WRHB's to fit.

HNB 56 Posted January 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 I wetsanded the headstock. I didn't polish it because the stock neck is satin.
