Wohoo, first one done!

[lesta5000]

Got this one on monday and got it done on tuesday. It's like...great!
A Split Jazzmaster with a 24,75" scale neck and 59 roundback profile.
Neck and bridge pickups are GFS's Dream180 humbuckers and a Dream90 P90 in the middle.
The switching is done Strat-style and there's push-pull coil-tapping on the volume knob.
Only thing that I was disappointed on was that there were no screws included with the pickguard, so at the time I have only 5 screws holding the pickguards.

Love it!

very cool design. i don't love the 3 pickups like that, but to see it done like that is unique. Isn't the angle of the 5-way awkward tho?

no screws, that's interesting

A solveable problem is good to have

they include screws with everything else, but why not a pickguard?

Because there are different colours available?

and they are incapable of adding a screw drop down menu with gold chrome and black colour options?

Beats me. I'm just trying to find a solution to the mystery.  :laughing7:

Well...I kinda screwed up with making the hole for the switch so it ended up like that
That's why I had to cut a piece from the big black Warmoth sticker and put it to cover the harsh result. Actually the switch is in a quite good place as I'm not hitting it with my hand while playing so it's pretty much ok eventually.

Very cool build.  Thanks for sharing.   

 

[Schlieren]

The cut pickguard gives a great Tiesco feel to it - especially with the three gigantor pickups - but that surf blue is all Fender.

We need some sound clips

Love them Jazz masters, this is sweet!!!  :icon_thumright:

 

[GratefullyRedd]

random question:have any jazz guitarists actually used a jazzmaster?

 

[elgravos]

Fantastic build. 10 out of 10 for style.

Man all these Jazzmasters popping up on the forum have gotten me to thinking about how much I like that body shape!!

Ok, here's one soundclip: http://www.kotinet.com/rami.hirvela/temp/uyor_warmoth.mp3
It's actually my band's song which was released a couple months ago. I quickly re-recorded all guitar tracks with the new guitar. My playing isn't so good on this one as I recorded everything with first takes so...
As I did that quickly at home, it's played through Line6's Podfarm. The "real" version of the song can be found eg. from here: http://soundcloud.com/anniemall/use-your-own-rows
Oh, and the release version's guitars were played with a PRS Starla and a Tokai Telecaster.
