Amen, brotha!

 

[baskruit]

In that case, I will nominate his twin:

That's damn near perfect.

The more the merrier. By the way I'm loving the Jazzmaster!  Great job on that finish.

That's damn near perfect.

Agreed!  Dark necks and light bodies usually look very nice together IMO, and this is no exception.  Very nice.

Now I'm not sure whom I'll be able to vote for.  It's going to be tough!

By the way I'm loving the Jazzmaster!  Great job on that finish.

Thanks Tonar!  That means alot coming from someone who does some pretty fantastic finishing work yourself.  I absolutely love your strat!

 

[kboman]

I'll start:

Hey, an easy month this time!

 

[imminentG]

Sorry boys, that natural strat with the wenge neck is the shoe-in. There's not a single thing on that instrument that I can interpret as untasteful.

KEEP 'EM COMIN'

Dammit can't enter my fiesta red Strat :sad1:

 

[dmraco]

this was my 1st attempt at a dye job.....got it off the screaming deals for $199...still a little dirty from assembly....

 

[Patrick]

was that the guitar you gave to your son?

 

[bigguspickus]

Where did you get that bridge? I've never seen saddles like that before.

 

[jalane]

Where did you get that bridge? I've never seen saddles like that before.

It's called a Mastery Bridge www.masterybridge.com

It's designed to work with all of the fender offset guitars.  It eliminates the buzzing problems that are common with jazzy's and jag's, and it noticeably improves sustain.

The saddles for the lower and upper three strings are connected.  Having a chance to examine it and install it, it's a pretty brilliant design.  Between it and the Earvana nut, this guitar sustains for days.

 

[dmraco]

was that the guitar you gave to your son?

yes....

 

[Soylent]

In that case, I will nominate his twin:

I like that one, too! Now you're starting to make things difficult!

I especially like that neck. Looks like ebony on wenge with SS railroad ties for frets?

Mine was modeled after his, just with different woods, thus his "Twin" statement. That being said, Marko you slag.. I want a chance to get a vote.. you.. trev.. doug.. knock it off!

 

[Superlizard]

Hey check out that awesome Jazzmaster!  I feel like surfing.. left-handed surfing, that is.  :icon_jokercolor:

I voted for DMRACO's. I always loved the color on that, and if I recall correctly, it was supposed to be blue? What a beautiful mistake it was.
