I see your point, I had no idea they already come with that many
shims.

I can understand that, that poor design is part of the sound of the
Jazzmaster. I'll find out about it soon enough. I'm almost done
building me a "doink" machine. I started spraying it last week, Fiesta
red w/matching headstock, w/Duncan vintage PU's. I've always played
Strat's but I want the sound of Jazzmaster on some things. Does anyone
know if the "Buzzstop" changes the tone much?
Oops! Sorry I don't want to hijack this thread. Just slap me upside
the head.
