Yup! Started with a tele deluxe. Then I wanted to mirror that distinctive horn. Then my Vela was sitting there and I'm like, yeah that's the last piece. Thanks!

Hello! I am pretty happy with my Meadowhawk pickguard design. I didn't do a perfect job cutting this one out, but I have the CAD files for better ones later. Thoughts? Build isn't finished, but I was too eager to share and possibly make Aaron grind his teeth over changes to his intended...

Yeah, I am more of a dentist than a luthier it seems . . . . Eh? Eeeeeeeeeeeh?

My understanding is that works on bare wood by introducing water back into the wood. A painted body is basically covered in plastic-wrap, so I don't think this would work. But *shrug*

Yeah, i think some sort of cover-up is probably only reasonable option. Not sure about a decal, but some sort of chrome plate or something? I dunno.

I got some nail polish as suggested by someone earlier. I also have several plastic and felt washers I could put around the post to cover it. So I think that chip will be okay. I am much more upset about the dents between the bridge and tailpiece. *sadface*

Hello, folks! I have received my body and neck! I think they're really lovely, and I am happy to share pictures. I have learned a few things I can also share, along with a bit of tragedy . . . . What I learned: Candy Yellow is definitely more of a gold in my opinion. Photos are tough, but in...

It was a limited edition Parallel Universe model, or something like that. I love the look and was stoked when Warmoth added the Dinkycaster, so I could build my own. Here is some Fender advertising info: https://www.fender.com/articles/gear/mighty-versatile-inside-the-alternate-reality-sixty-six...

Believe that is a Fender Sixty-six. I don't know if they use a standard jazz bass control plate or a specially sized one. Looks like normal sized to me. Couldn't find anything online one way or another.

JB-caster. Offset-caster. Slant-caster. G6. Jazzcaster. If Warmoth marketing wants to hire me, I can be available. :-D Although, in retrospect, Dinkycaster sounds better than any of those. So I guess carry on.

I am considering buying a Guyker rolling Jazzmaster bridge for myself.... it is a 9.5 inch radius though, which doesn't match any of my warmoth compound radius necks though! Sad face.

I really appreciated all your demoing of your candy tangerine build in the videos. It showed me clearly it was a redder orange than I might have wanted. But still, great to see and know!

Well, I just placed the order. Kandy Yellow Mooncaster with white pearloid binding . . . with a matching neck sporting Kandy Yellow shaft and headstock and white pearloid binding. I will post pics in six months when I get it, lol. Very excited.

I saw that Guyker makes a roller bridge made specifically for jazzmasters. Should be perfect for your Jag build. Not sure how you feel about the brand, but it seems like they make decent stuff.

Is that kandy yellow?
