Just got this one in really great build I am beyond thrilled, this one like the others will be getting an inline headstock aluminum neck from Aluminati guitars but in the meantime I am jamming this green beast!
Really great build can't say enough, he added the rhythm circuit and the set up is really really good, excellent intonation. Details below.
2018 Custom Jazzmaster / Fender 'partscaster' in exclnt condition, awesome retro-color, plays great and sounds incredible - Fender American Special loaded pickguard with Vintage USA '65 JM pickups, highly flamed Stratocaster neck refinished with nitrocellulose lacquer.
This guitar was professionally built, professionally set-up, incl intonation + fret dressing, ships with new set of D'Addarrio light gauge strings and also includes highly collectable pick (free!).
SPECS:
Body: Made in the USA (non-Fender), Oregon Alder finished with Lamborghini Verde Ermes Metallic, GOTOH Japan nickel tune'omatic bridge, Fender floating tremolo assembly.
Neck: 2000's Fender Stratocaster (import) with CBS headstock, lightly used condition, upgraded with Grover USA Mini-Rotomatic tuning machines, Canadian Maple/Rosewood, 9.5" radius, modern C profile.

Love the burst on that neck, love how the headstock matches the PG, beautiful color too.

I've seen their stuff on Reverb and follow them. Great looking Jags and Jazzmasters.

Someday in the distant future I will order a Jazzblaster from them.
I follow them on Facebook. They show what they're working on like special orders and stuff that don't get posted to Reverb.
They sure do like green!
I'm sure some Fender dealer in '64 looked at the new Duo-Sonic II and thought, "That's not a Duo-Sonic. That's a Mustang".

Fender Custom Shop should be this guy's employer. Ethics says he should apply. Too good.

In all honesty I think you are right and its not hyperbole, If he had the same parts and tools as Fender custom shop these would be custom shop guitars.

That Lamborghini green is unreal. Quite the beauty.
Is it me, or is the trem route far back like the originals, but it's using some sort of an AOM bridge?

I actually asked about that, the honey yellow one has a smaller body size so it just looks a bit off.

I have yet to play a Keystone, they look really sweet. Really good guys to work with and their necks a fantastic! Better than wood.

He had a purple Jazzmaster a year or so ago, and if he ever makes another one I'm not going to have a choice but to buy it. I really like his aesthetic.

If I was a byrd, I'd be mighty sore every time they shut the door and I don't think I'd sing...
