Final Jazzmaster Installment

I was having trouble getting the JM wired up. I followed the diagram to a T but it still wasn't working. Finally, I took the guitar out to my supa-smart uncle and he figured out the problem. The lead switch was wired wrong. I couldn't find any good pics of what was going on there and the diagram was confusing (to me), particularly this part:




I didn't know which wire should attach where in the middle. My uncle figured it out and now everything works right. So without further ado here is the final product:

You can see my one major sand through here. I'll probably fix that later:

Here it is with my Ocean Turquoise Jaguar:


Here's a colour comparison between the Ocean Turquoise and ReRanch's Sherwood Green. Pretty close. It depends on the angle you look at the Sherwood. The metal flakes are much larger in the SG than the OTM.

And in honour of the Wings, I found this patch on ebay and sewed it on my strap:


I'll probably do a video demo of the sound once I figure out what song I want to play.

Next up, my very first electric guitar, a 1989 Squier II Strat, MIK. I had lent it to Bryan for a couple years but I've got it back now and am going to paint it. Right now it's black. Wait'll you see what colour I'm going with.

You won't be sorry.

From Russel Targ's autobiography "Do You See What I See? Lasers and Love, ESP and the CIA and the Meaning of Life - Memoirs of a Blind Biker":

"It is also interesting to note that the aircraft that flew into the Twin Towers on 9/11 were unusually empty. I specifically checked to find that all the high-jacked planes were carrying only half or less, of the usual number of passengers. Perhaps one unusually empty plane could be explained away, but all four? Similarly W.E. Cox (at J.B. Rhine's Duke University laboratory) found in the 1950s that railroad trains that crashed or derailed on the East Coast had significantly fewer passengers on the day they crashed than the same trains on other days - even taking weather into account. These data show that people can indeed use their intuition to save their lives."
