Thanks for trying these out Ryan! I think bringing that bridge pickup up closer to your string height will make a huge difference in balancing output. Let us know how it goes. :)

Hey Ryan! Just stumbled upon this. I have a mod now for the arm. You won't require the tool to remove the arm once you set the tension. All new units Descendants will ship with the new arm but it's an easy DIY mod which I'll post soon on Instagram. Thanks for including the vibrato in this video. And I'm totally into the green guard, too.

@rabbitholeofmoxie 4 года назад

A lot of people are going to town on that pickguard; forget 'em. Do what makes you happy and pleases you aesthetically. I like how in some lighting/angles it has an almost OD Green look to it that goes with the sunburst nicely. It's making me consider a matte OD Green pickguard of some kind with cream pickup covers/knobs/etc.

@DesertScorpionKSA 4 года назад

The bridge pickup is an improvement and is only slightly less loud than the neck pickup. It's close. The trem looks high quality. The pickguard looks high quality but it doesn't match the color of the body. A gold colored pickguard would have matched better. Maybe it will look better to me later after I get used to it.

@SeQFreQ369 4 года назад

Nice project. I haven't seen a lot videos that mod Fender offsets, so I enjoyed this one. I like the white hardware on the rhythm circuit. I think that looks great. The pickups sound great. I hope you can get the bridge pickup height adjusted to your taste. As for the the pick guard ... I like the pick guard itself. I think it would look great on an Olympic/Polar white guitar. It might even work on a black or surf green guitar. It doesn't work for me on that vintage burst finish though. I admit that's just me. You do you. One advantage to it ... no one would mistake it for their guitar.

Super stoked you did this video. I have the same guitar in Sonic Blue. Did the Shim give you some more room in the neck ? btw - I named your newly updated guitar " Gator ". ... ha ha ... It's very cool, J Mascis would approve ! Those new pickups sound great as well. I am looking for that exact tortoise pickguard so if you are throwing that one away I know someone who would love to have it : ) PS. I switch out the pots for a while for 500k's and it was was interesting as it leaned towards a more baritone sound, which was cool for playing early Cure stuff, but I switched back to 1mg pots to get that surf range I bought the guitar for in the first place. Keep up the great work !!

I'm really curious how you're liking the Descendant trem? I just had a partscaster put together and the luthier had to use a shim to get the break angle right and the low E is a little buzzy still at the 5th fret. I'm hoping getting one the Descendants might be a perfect thing. Love your channel man!

@bastianbesenbeck4209 4 года назад

Very impressed by the sounds and looks killer! Great episode :) Why did you shim the neck, for better action?

@milojohnson3057 4 года назад

the jazzmaster was originally designed with neck shims in mind to give it more of an archtop geometry and due to the low bridge break angle, so people do it quite often, mike adams (puisheen) has a great video on it

@awogbob 4 года назад

One thing I think that would improve the look is matching the knobs to the pickup cover and switches, its subtle but the white and cream clash and matching either one would do a lot to unify the appearance of the pickguard.

@McIovln 4 года назад

I believe the strings are making contact with the Descendant because of the shim in the neck. From what I can tell, The Descendant is supposed to increase the break angle by lowering the strings connection to the vibrato/tremolo unit. The shim is acting in the same capacity (only in reverse) by raising the neck instead of lowering the vibrato/trem. So what I think you’ve done is increase the break angle two fold, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but I think rather than adjusting the Descendant by taking out one of the plates, it would make more sense to take out the shim. Fair warning, I could be completely wrong haha! Anyway, it sounds great! And I kind of dig the green pick guard. When people say it’s ugly just call it avant garde and that they wouldn’t understand!🤣

@60CycleHumcast 4 года назад

if i removed the shim the bridge would be lower and the string would intersect the trem at a more shallow angle so the issue would actually be greater.

@thecaveofthedead 4 года назад

Probably not the biggest deal for your Squier - given how much you mod it. But you should let Jazzmaster players know that a partial shim like that - as opposed to a full-pocket angled shim - can actually warp the body end of the neck over decades and can require a board levelling. Ideally go with an angled, full-pocket shim from the start if you might leave it in for decades at a time (as often happened with '50s and '60s JMs which were all shimmed).
