Thanks a lot man. I think I'm about set then on advice, top route it is. have a good one.

well nothing too special (S x H actives, 1 vol, 1 tone, 3 way switch, and a push/pull boost on the vol).  just that my current guitar is a rear route and it worked well for me, so i figured when building a guitar i ought to go with things that i know work, i've never used a top route.  :-\

ahh I see what you are saying blues 13. Alternatively, (because I am unsure of my abilities at crafting a custom pick guard) is it a good idea to switch my planned body to be a front route and then use a warmoth-design pickguard? also, thank you so much for sticking with this and helping me...

The plan is a Jazzmaster Style rear route with a jazzmaster pickguard.

my thoughts exactly. until 'Spike' at warmoth emailed me saying    "You have ordered a pickguard to go with a rear routed body. I hope you are aware that a pickguard will in no way work on rear routed bodies." now i need help because i dont understand why.

Why Can't you put a pick-guard on a rear routed guitar?
