So i recently purchased a JM-1 kit. i plan to get it painted a blue color. it's getting painted Tuesday (19/4/16) hopefully and then start soldering on Wednesday. but i don't where to start with the guides on here if someone can lend me a hand it would be much appreciated.
Depends a bit on what you want it to do. Simpelest would be to use standard strat wiring. Since it has a humbucker at the bridge you could add a switch to tap it. That would add a more standard strat sound.
I have thought about putting an "always on" switch for the neck pup to get more of a tele sound or use all three pups at once.
Do you know it the middle pup is reverse wound? That could also make a difference.
Lots of posibilities!

I honestly have no idea. however the bridge doesn't seem quite right.
Struggling with just such an issue on a bass. Looks like another case of the drinking beginning before the end of the shift at the factory..

Hi Gibson.Fender,
First things first, slow down a bit. Don't rush to have everything done all at once. Building one of these kits can take months to do properly. And we all want the best results in the end for you.
Best place to start is with this thread. There is a lot of info here, but read from start to finish before you begin. Ask any questions you have and we will do our best to sort them out.
Your bridge looks fine, once you have the posts in it will make a bit more sense.

Do you have four wires coming out of the humbucker?

There is no definitive guide for the JM-1, the highlighted text in my first post will take you to the generic guide for putting together your kit
Here it is again...
this thread
If you want specifics on how this kit works, start a build diary and ask questions or find someone else's build diary who's done the JM-1, read through that and if you still have questions, ask there.
