    Fully Roasted Strat, with Tru Oil Finish

    thank you everyone :) Yes, all shielding paint areas were grounded with a small wire. I just didn't want to make the video too long.

    Fully Roasted Strat, with Tru Oil Finish

    thanks guys I had a look at my bottle of pumice powder and it says "extra fine", so that's probably 4A then. Also, I've used the sealer/filler that came with the Tru Oil (when ordering the set of Tru Oil, Sealer and wax).

    Fully Roasted Strat, with Tru Oil Finish

    my new fully roasted Warmoth Strat came out great. It's a roasted swamp ash body with a roasted maple neck. I finished both with Tru Oil, 2 coats on the neck and at least 20 on the body. All with a wipe on / wipe off technique. Here's a video of the build, with a demo:

    Jazzmaster pickguard, no Strat middle?

    must be a new feature. When I ordered my body (well it was a Jaguar), they didn't offer a middle pickup for the body nor the pickguard. But I mean, they could easily do it with their CNC machines.

    Jaguar Mods: Roller vs. Mustang bridge, 2nd tone cap, active buffer (Video)

    Did some mods and tests with my Warmoth Jaguar. I've done a shootout between a Wilkinson Roller bridge and a modified Mustang bridge (which means it's like a Jazzmaster bridge, except with decent saddles). https://youtu.be/HA8Lz4QJ0Ms https://youtu.be/HA8Lz4QJ0Ms This one: Modified Mustang...

    Orange/Blue Jaguar (Roasted Content)

    I'm certainly a fan of having lots of switches. I should consider a strangle switch in a future project :) oh noes  :toothy11: well, I've already tried the switchable capacitor (amongst other things, it's a video I'm currently editing) and it didn't make much of a difference. But it's a good...

    Orange/Blue Jaguar (Roasted Content)

    thank you so much. I'm also glad you liked the video. True. While I think that the original controls have some mojo, they're not always the most practical. But I do like the idea of the secondary darker tone circuit. So I'm planning to install a darker tone capacitor, that'll be switchable...

    the hardtail plate is certainly stylish. It's for anyone who doesn't really like the Jazzmaster trem

    thank you everyone :) omg, if only I knew. Back then, when I bought all the parts, I only found a control plate like that for 60$. I would have gotten that one from Reverb instead Moar progress: Got this decal and I cut out just the outline To apply it like this: Decal on the headstock...
