White Korina jazzmaster

[teleme01]

Sounds better backwards !?!

Crazy I know, but yes, I don't have it dialed in yet, but it became more playable string height. Thats why I posted it was to verify the proper orientation.

I am pretty sure the intonation screws should face rearward, but not sure if it matters, I have never had a Jazzmaster.

Agree

I looked at photos of jazzmaster and they all seem to have the screws facing the bridge, but actually it seems to sound and play better with screws facing neck, I don't know if it matters or not, my first jazzmaster.

The screws should face the rear of the guitar towards the trem unit. Better to turn it around and set it up.

It looks like you are using the Modified Mustang bridge that Warmoth sells rather than the Jazzmaster/Jaguar that they also sell.

Change brand of strings, too

I started wiring last week , with tele standard wiring using a 3way. Anyway, I now have pos 1 and 3 working but nothing on middle position... what did I do wrong?

 

[JohnnyHardtail]

I think you may have wired the pickups on the wrong side of the the blade switch. It's like the connections were made while looking in a mirror. The pickup hot wires are supposed to be soldered to the "common" terminals on each side of the blade switch. Please check a Fender wiring diagram and you will see the difference.

Still have not fixed the wiring problem, set aside for a bit, but I did win a pickguard on the ebays so I have options

Color coordination padouk neck to the white Korina body. The electronics are a mess and I'm procrastinating, mental block.

Thanks for the encouragement, I need a kick in the butt to finish.

It been a while since I did anything with this one, motivation is against me. Feeling under enthusiasm for anything so I took this apart and scratched it pretty badly (caked shellac). Put tape, sprayed white lacquer on top bout, sanded it back a little too soon, letting it dry a while, I just needed a good paint fumes anti represents, sigh, also created. New batch of shellac (white) to blend it all together, here's where I am at.
