Now I’ve decided to go for a Fender Jazzmaster circuit and pickups, I’ve begun to sort out the electrical components required. Since this is a first-time project I’m not very confident in my own skills; furthermore I have a smaller Squier Stratocaster body to work with, and don’t really feel the need to have the full Jazz circuit with all those separate rhythm and lead controls. It’s going to be a configuration of two pickups, a master volume and tone, and a three-way selector switch; similar to the Telecaster I suppose, but with those distinctive pickups (which will be the most expensive and therefore will probably be the last parts I’ll buy). With the structural aspect of the instrument up to a satisfactory standard (that annoying bridge screw exempted) I now feel ready to start the wiring.
