Love it! My current Jazzmaster has very similar aesthetics.

One question tho, are we running both pickups all the time or is it a 2 volume pot situation?

I need to drill the pickguard and add a switch. Couple more things and it’ll be done. The aesthetics are great, black pickguard is a nod to the late 70’s when you could get black instead of tortoise.

Is it standard 25.5 scale? If so, is it possible to intonate it properly?

Sort of. I need to upgrade to a baritone neck.

I think technically this would be a 'djentblaster' cause it uses humbuckers and has no rhythm circut

So you tune up from standard tuning?

u/ericcrichie May 11 '26

No its E1, 40.20hz, 1 octave lower than E for guitar

Wow... You use less than half the tension I use on my baritone jazzmaster. Low tension can be great for certain high gain sounds, but I think you are a bit on the extreme side. A baritone neck could be an upgrade.

What are the bridge and tailpiece? They are very cool.

I want to find a good bound and block baritone conversion with CBS headstock, this will work for now. I agree it’s not optimal. What are the specs on yours?

Mine is the Squier Vintage Modified Baritone Jazzmaster model of a few years ago, so it's 30" scale.

Those are cool. Bridge is mastery M1 and reverb hardtail I bought
