Green Flake Jazzmaster

[ThePhilosopher]

Long-time no see fellow Warmothers (Warmothians, Warmothi?). After not finding what I was looking for in MIJ Jazzmasters, I decided to piece one together. I pulled the trigger on a couple of showcase items with some finishing touches. I have a set of Lollar JM pickups in parchment and a Warmoth tort guard on order as well. I'm thinking I'll finish it off with Gotoh locking tuners and a Mastery Vibrato + Bridge.

I was wondering if you had to shim your Jazzmaster neck in any way? I am working on one now and think that I will need to.

I've built two jazzmasyer using warmoth body and necks and found no need for a shim, though one is a hard tail, and the other is a strat gotoh 510 trem. What kind of bridge are you using.

 

[Max Headroom]

I ended up having to use a 1degree shim. I am using a traditional Jazzmaster/Mustang bridge. Without the shim and the bridge decked, I had ridiculously high action at the last fret.

Good to know, I am a few weeks away from putting a neck on a jazzmaster with jazzmaster tremolo. Will know there may be an issue
