Jazzmaster pup cavity rout

Hey, does anyone know whether one can get a swimming-pool rout on a Jazzmaster body?


Peace

As I recall, I tried to order mine with that and found it not possible at that time. That was early November, 2016. Things may have changed by now.

Here's a photo of it after I put the copper tape in it. A swimming pool route would leave a gargantuan hole under that pickguard.

Thanks, Robert.  I'm just trying to figure out which way to go on a JM body.  I can live with a giant hole.  Since the JM is somewhat heavier than a Strat and could use whatever extra relief a larger hole under the pickguard might supply. If my email to Warmoth comes back a no-go, I'm most likely to just go with what you did there, and get triple humbucker routs.

I suppose you could always cut the remaining wood out from between all the pickup routes. I'd be tempted to leave something to support the center of the pickguard, though. It wouldn't weigh much.
