I've not seen a JM-1 in the flesh but found this thread with a pic of the bridge and it seems that is normal

Alright it's all sorted thank you guys will post a picture when it's painted
Hey Sean, are you painting the body/neck or is someone else doing it ?
it should take a few weeks for the paint to fully cure assuming it will have a clear coat over the blue
the longer you wait the better chance of the paint being cured so you can cut and polish it.
don't rush the build for the sake of plugging it into an amp !
Dad's a spray painter by trade.
i wouldn't trust myself with a brush
First off ignore the plastic bag in the back.
any way the guitar body is finally painted took longer then i expected but hey it's done and looks good so i'm not going to complain. the color of the guitar is a "Volkswagen Blue"
The neck of the guitar has a clear lacquer over it which may cause a bit of grip i'm unsure.
My next move is to do the soldering (unless suggested otherwise)
i have put car polish over it to make it shine more. also unsure whether to of gone a darker blue? but it looks pretty fine ether way.
Regards
Sean
I like that colour, it's lookin good! I'd probably track down a white pick guard but that's just my taste
Nice colour choice, can't wait to see the guitar all finished.
Love the blue. She's going to look really nice all assembled!
cheers,
Gav.
