maxrossell Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I just bought a Squier Std Jazz in walnut with a black PG from Lemmywinks, and what with me bring a bit of a fiddler, I'm gonna do some mods to it. - It comes with a satin finish, which I think looks a bit too modern, so I'm gonna polish it to a gloss - The neck is too light and pinkish, so I'm gonna shoot it with some tinted lacquer to make it more yellow-amber - I'm gonna replace the logo with a Fender '62 one. Not that I think it'll be fooling anyone, but I don't like the Squier logo anyway. - I may change the PG for a 3-ply tortoiseshell, which I think will match the walnut real nice. - I will eventually fit it with better pickups, nothing fancy, but decent passive Js. - I may also change the knobs for black jazz knobs, as the current ones are knurled chrome. - I thought about upgrading the bridge, but I think on balance I may just fit brass saddles. Photos to follow. I'll polish it later today I think. Hopefully it'll come up like a shiny conker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I recommend T-cut for glossing up those dullard satin finishes - although it might be an idea to whip off your scratchplate & "test on an inconspicuous area" to make sure it does what you want. If you do change the bridge, Schaller 3D ftw. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
