[Eivind August]

Now that is cool!

Cool build, I've been wanting to do an Esquire style parts build a while. The JM style trem is a nice touch.

[Ghost Hip]

Hell yeah. There's a dude on Reverb who builds Tele Custom/Deluxe style guitars with Jazzy trems. I want a set up like that so bad!

Nice one! Esquire with a Jazzy trem is not something you see very often. Very cool.

The offset trem with all that overtone stuff from the behind the bridge string length sounds really good with the treble heavy Telecaster bridge pickup.

Now please tell me what the toggle switch is good for!

toggling

position one has a capacitor giving a cocked wah type sound
two is with the tone knob
three is just volume.

I haven't messed too much with that yet but soon enough

I had the body routed for a jazz master neck pickup should I choose to put one in. Im not missing it right now so who knows.

Nice trick with the toggle switch! I thought this was a dummy only.

[lefchr]

Im not that crafty

I found a good deal on a emerson prewired kit I just had to solder the pickup in. I like it though so far.

[coldbrightsunlight]

That's a neat wiring setup. Cool looking guitar too!

Looks nice. How’s tuning stability treating you? There’s usually that hard incline to decline from the standard JM style bridges.

Its pretty decent, the strings do wiggle on the saddles if you it them hard though. Every time I check the tuning though its still in so idk. I have a bass vi with the jm trem too and that stays in tune fine after use, I did put a stream bridge in that one. I think I might get the callaham saddles that are for the bigsby or the tele mastery bridge. I shimmed the neck so i could raise the saddles pretty high to get some extra tension on the saddles.
