    Value of a modded CIJ Jazzmaster

    I have a CIJ cherry red Jazzmaster in excellent condition. I added a Mastery bridge and replaced both pickups with SD Antiquities. I also have the original bridge and pickups and whammy arm. Does anyone know what kind of asking price it could get?

    After routing for JB can I switch back to single coil?

    My Mustang was routed to put a full size JB at the bridge. That tone no longer works for me and I'd like to put a single coil back in, possibly a Jazzmaster Antiquity from another guitar. When my Luthier routed the guitar for the JB I remember him mentioning that there was no going back to a...

    Why single coil at neck?

    Heya I'm really dense when it comes to pickups. What is the advantage of having a JB at the bridge but a single coil at the neck? I like to have a warm grunge tone and usually keep my toggle switch in the middle. I rarely use the neck position. Thanks!
