That’s good info. I would love a Jaguar sized humbucker pickup. Time to search!

If you haven’t done so already, look up Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar. There is an article all about it. There is an option to make the upper switch default to the bridge pickup instead of the neck. There is an option to convert the upper switch to a kill switch. Nash Guitars wires the upper...

I love those small humbuckers!  Nice looking build!

thanks.  it is one coat of rattle can spray from michael's so it was cheap, too:)

That is good to know!  Thank you for that info.  I'll poke around some.

I got that part right!  I double checked the solder joints and they are pretty tidy and solid.  Kinda looks like a Hershey's kiss.

A wiggle is arising:  The electronics work...MOST of the time.  I've had to open the control plate, wiggle some wires and everything will work fine.  All of the solder joints are solid.  Can the pickup wires inside of the control cavity be too long?  Can wires touching each other interfere with...

Nah, it was funny to me....and true.  Thank you, though! Well, whatever humming is still there after installing the ground wire, but the humming isn't as bad as it was.  I might have my friend the electronics wizard take a look.

Yep, she was a beauty.  Cancer took her young.  Thank you:)

After adding the ground wire it is dead quiet directly in to my Classic 20 and also with interface.  My soldering job looks pretty nasty but it worked: https://soundcloud.com/wilsonov7/jazzcaster-4-pickup-changing

The hardest part of adding the ground wire from the volume pot to the bridge is figuring out where to solder it to on the bridge.  I ended up sandwiching some bare wire between the body and bridge.  It worked. 

I just finished up a Jazzcaster and put a Dimarzio Area T in the neck.  I absolutely love it.  I had no real idea what I was looking for in a pickup but decided to give it a shot based on reviews and the fact that I like humbuckers better than single coils 99 times out of 100.  It just sounds...

Yep! 

I know for sure that I didn't do that so I will get it taken care of.  It is odd to me that when playing through Garageband amps with that noise gate about 1/4 of the way up there is no hum but in Helix Native on the computer the humming made it pretty much unusable unless I placed a pinky on...

I definitely did not do that.  I will do that as soon as I can.
