This Fender Squier Jagmaster is a
marriage of the Jazzmaster and
the Jaguar models.
The customer wanted two new
pickups installed, switching
designed and wired, and a setup
performed.
After initial measurements, the
guitar came apart. There was no
shielding in the control cavity, so
step 1 was to copper-shield this
hum-producing area.
During this process an anti-shock
capacitor was added to reduce the
chance of dangerous cross-
grounding shock.

Next a wiring diagram was developed to
allow 5-way switching and coil tapping:
1. Neck Pickup
2. Both Parallel
3. Both Parallel, out of phase
4. Both Series
5. Bridge Pickup
Where either humbucker can be made
single coil by pulling up either the volume or
tone controls.

At the customer's request, the jack
was replaced by a Switchcraft jack,
and the switches were wired and
tested.
After reassembly, the guitar was
strung and thoroughly set up (nut
and bridge action, relief, pickup
height, tremolo adjustment screws
all checked, intonation adjusted) and
polished.
