I have a set of SD jazz pups I had converted covers on(soap bars) to go on a Guild SB302 Im restoring. The orig pups are as rare as hens teeth, until recently I scored some orig pups . Now I have to make covers for them . I had planned a JAEbird project but I have these Jazz pups  so I may do a jazz build 1st.
When I get to that point are the decals available?

[birdie]

Nice. And damn quick!

[Daniel_J]

Looks really nice, indeed.

Interesting that the pink one you built before didnt look that cool to me, this one I like. Maybe its the headstock I didnt like on the other one.
And the bridge/pickups combination looks better on this one too, although that shouldnt be the case, since they are the same on both, right?

Thanks to all for the compliments.

JAEbird is closer to the original Peter Cook/ JAE design.  Fbird 2010 got to the point where I knew some design decisions made a while ago weren't right but I just had to finish it.

The bridge and pickup toppers/rings are slightly different, again closer to the originals.  These are SD SS4 pups, on the Fbird 2010 I used toppers and rings sized for TB+ pups and larger mounting screws.

Still love that homemade bridge configuration. Very clever.

[Lightyear]

Any plans for a differnet bridge?

Thanks!  The bridge/tailpiece is being modded by a local machine shop, I may sell them if there's any interest.

Thanks, the initial guard was cut a little big, needed some slight reshaping, thanks for pointing it out.  Ditto the body, I found some more pictures and they were a big help.

A customer can specify or provide bridge, pups and placement (and number), body wood, body mods, custom paint etc.  The price will change according to parts and extra work required.  Mods will be part of the fun for me.

The JAEbird Standard price is $475 delivered in the US.  Overseas shipping will be reasonable with neck detached.  Lefty same price but with rosewood board.

Standard equipment Seymour Duncan SS4 pups with toppers and rings, CTS/Switchcraft.  Korean open back tuners...Resolites add $90.

Yes I have the bridge/tailpiece and one pickup
