Torn on what to build next

[ThePhilosopher]

I'm a bit torn on which of the following projects to tackle next, so I figured to put it to a vote.

1. A simple rear-routed HH Jazzmaster build with a CBS headstock, clear satin finished swamp ash body, wenge neck with a ziricote fretboard - almost a vintage modern JM take on a Blackmachine
2. A chambered walnut body + rosewood top Tele with a rosewood neck + fretboard, single f-hole - also rear-routed for 2 humbuckers
3. A 25" 7 string using that screamin' deal neck, swamp ash body with a gloss rosewood lam top

I was torn between the Tele and the 7, but my metal heart won out in the end and voted 7.

Well ... I went with the JM if you don't have one already. They are really comfortable. Though that tele sounds like it would be gorgeous. Tough choice.

I have a Green Flake JM but it's a bit more traditional, and IT IS super comfy. I would probably tune that new one down to C standard.

I voted for a seven string. 2nd choice Tele.

I’m wondering what the tele made from walnut and rosewood would be like. Are you considering that combination for aesthetics or some other motivation?

Aesthetics mostly, I was trying to get as close to an all Rosewood tele as possible since it's not a regularly available body wood option. I've also fallen in love with the rosewood neck that I have on my MJT/Warmoth Cabronita, so that's weighing in heavily as well.
