love the color

Thanks, it's a GM color called Santa Fe Tan. I think it used to be called Buttercreme. I used to have a Tele in the same color.

That is such a sweet look for a surf guitar :icon_thumright:

 

[Cagey]

That's gonna be sweet.

I hate sanding. It always seems like if anything is going to go wrong, that's when it'll happen. Plus, it's slow work even if it turns out right.

 

[Jusatele]

yea, I am always concerned about the edges, they are hard to sand without going through and then hard to redo.
I think sanding is my nemesis.

Very cool, most interested to hear review on pups.... :icon_thumright:

Unfortunately Danger, the pickup review will be delayed until I can order a neck sometime after the holidays. Until then I guess I have a set of GFS paperwieghts. Maybe I'll hang them on the tree.

Finished my Jazzmaster this morning

Warmoth Poplar body finished in "Santa Fe Tan" laquer . I know, it's yellow to me too.
Warmoth Pro 21 fret Birdseye Maple neck with Gotoh vintage tuners, tru-oil finish
Humbucker spaced hardtail bridge
GFS Hot Nashville Retrotron pickups

Really happy with the way this guitar turned out, sure to be a favorite of mine!!
