Was going to just wait till finished, but may as well post this: Won't be a masterpiece necessarily, but wound up in another scenario where I have a bunch of spare parts that can be made into another guitar by purchasing just one linking piece:
List of parts I already have now & plan to use:

List of parts I already have now & plan to use:
- Mighty Mite Rosewood Strat neck/CBS Headstock (with tuners)
- MIJ Jazzmaster bridge/Vibrato (both required repair; new Allparts saddles on the bridge, filed the pivot point on the vibrato and tested on another guitar to make sure it all keeps tune)
- Wiring (Including spare Jazzmaster rhythm circuit and 1 megs)
- Allparts white Pickguard
- Rose Picasso bridge pickup (WRHB clone under Jazzmaster cover)
- Duncan SJAG-1 neck pickup (will use under Jazzmaster cover)
Things I have on order:
- Butchered Squier Mascis body (has lots of dents/bruises including poor over-spray)
- Anodized pickguard (yeah I already have a pickguard, but...)
- Duplicolor Nissan 'Orange Mist' metallic & clear
Upcoming Actions:
- Figure out how forcibly the Nashville-style Tune-O-Matic posts were ejected, and whether a dowel & drill will be required to convert to a rocking bridge
- Strip/fill/refin. the body as necessary (I'm thinking if it's nitro, I will not want to coat Duplicolor/Acrylic over that; sort of hoping it isn't stripped to wood underneath
- Re-match the headstock (it's already the right color, but I used the wrong primer under it so it looks 100 years old; I don't like relics
