So I guess to let you guys know what I am looking for might help.  Right now I have two guitar that I am primarily using.  1-Custom Koa tele with bare knuckle single coils  (I LOVE THIS GUITAR) 2-2011 Gretsch country gentelmen I love both of these guitars but the problem I have with them is...

Right now I have a delima.  I am looking for a good clean humbucker (if there is such a thing).  I have narrowed it down to Lollar "el rayo's"  vs.  Bareknuckle "Stormy Mondays".  Both have reave reviews.  I have a tele that has a pair of bare knuckle single coils that I LOVE.  But I have also...

I just recently ordered a tele neck from warmoth.  I had the hole size drilled for the schaller (25/64", 11/32").  I thought I knew what tuners to buy for this but I am now confused.  I see fender schaller locking tuners and normal schaller tuners.  Which is right  I really just want  good...

So I did some more research and I think I am just going to do a 3 way toggle with a coil tap. 

I like the idea of a 5 way so that I can get some more tonal options. 

So I am building a jazz master with two humbuckers.  I am doing a simple set up... 1 volume 1 tone 5 way switch Seeing as how this is my first build I don't know what type of pots (brand, 500k, 250k) what type of 5 way switch?  any suggestions?

I think I have decided on the compound radius.  I already have a tele and a country gentleman with straight necks.  I am very curious to feel a compound, and have heard rav reviews about them!  Thanks for all the input.

I guess I should add that I do play mainly rhythm.  When I play lead, I rarely do much bending.  If any I only bend a half step up anyways.  So does this mean I should get a straight 12?

thanks guys!  needed the advice!

So basically, I can get it worked on, or I should have ordered a different bridge?

So it will work with the recessed TOM bridge well?

So Im building a Jazzmaster and I am trying to figure out what kind of neck to put on it.  Fender, warmoth, compound, straight....  The body has a recessed TOM bridge.  So what kind of neck should I put on it.  Ive heard great reviews on the compound, but is there really that much of a...

Yes they routed the body for a tele neck.  I think I will probably go with option two.  Now that I think about it the bare knuckles in the warmoth is a little strange, but they sound SOOOO good.

I am building a jazz master with a warmth body and tele neck.  It will have two bare buckle humbuckers.  I am trying to determine how to wire the guitar. Here are the three options I am considering 1 - Original Jazzmaster (with the rollers on top) 2 - 1 volume, 1 tone, and a 3-way switch 3 -...

Thanks.  This is what I needed to hear!  happy guitar building!
