Ash Jazzmaster

Here is my completed Jazzmaster

Great looking guitar! Give us the lowdown on the hardware and electronics.

 

[Tralfaz]

The pickups are Lollar Jazzmaster,CTS pots,and cloth wiring(traditional JM wiring).The trem is a Fender.The rest of the hardware came from Warmoth.I never realized what went in to building and finishing a guitar until now.It isn't cheap to do,but it is well worth it to have a non production guitar.This was my first build and I'm pretty happy with it.

 

[CrackedPepper]

It came out very nice - glad you stuck with the white pickguard

 

[Nando Vallart]

Looks cool!

 

[OzziePete]

GFreat tos ee that you let the grain show through with the natural finsih. Congrats on your project, looks great - and I bet it sounds fan-tast-ic! :icon_thumright:

 

[Jet-Jaguar]

It looks sweet in the first picture, I can't see the other two.

 

[Tralfaz]

I reposted the pics...I had moved some stuff around in photobucket so that's why they wouldn't show in the post.

You've got a gorgeous Jazzmaster and I totally agree with you, which makes me wonder - what's up with the Fender decal?  :icon_thumright:

The decal came with some stuff I bought so I thought I would use it.

I love the natural look.  :icon_thumright:



Out of morbid curiosity, what's up with the neck pickup?

 

[Super Turbo Deluxe Custom]

You took the words out of my mouth.  It's either been replaced in the other pics, or been damaged in this pic.  Or....it's just a really weird reflection.

It is just a "trick of the light"...Nothing wrong with it.

ccasion14: Killer build! I don't think Fender ever offered a natural finish like that, but they should have...

 

[Schlieren]

How do you like that. . . whatever that amp is?

  The amp is a Li'l Dawg  D-lux 210...It's a hand built amp by Jim Nickelson...Do a search for Li'l Dawg.He builds fantasic amps(to what ever spec you want) and is very reasonable.

 

[Unwound G]

Very cool guitar.  If they produced Jazzmasters during the CBS years, it would look like this.

 

[Timothy]

Never been too fond of pearloid 'guards, but this looks damned nice.

 

[Loobs]

That's very very nice. I'll bet it's bright as all hell, especially if you're using 1meg (standard JM) pots.

 

[Loobs]

CBS strat neck?

Let's have some specs.
