Dream Jazzmaster Build, or Yet Another Green Jazzmaster

[Embenny]

Agreed, I can't wait to see this body come together.

Great work! Really like those witch hats and dog hairs too!

That's some very tidy wiring. I love experimenting with wiring schemes, but admittedly mine end up looking more like science experiments than Rothstein guards.

I've never sanded/polished a switch tip but it never occurred to me, either. That looks great and I think I'll be giving that a try!

It still isn't Rothstein clean, but I've really been trying to do things a little better each time. Believe me, I've made more than a few rat nests.

OCD is good. It results in very nice work. Looks great so far.

I like those white witch hat knobs.

Dog hairs are a nice touch, too.

It's a bit of OCD, but I think that mostly it makes me feel like progress is being made on the project.

I'm loving all the updates on this thread but every time there's new action I feel like I'm in a procedural cop show: Show me the body!

I can't wait to see what it looks like with the metallic green and the mint guard together.

Lucky for you, I don't have anything left to post until I start seeing pics of the body from the finish shop.

The dog hair makes a huuuge difference. All of my builds have a little dog hair.

I'm 99% sure this is mine. We'll be seeing some color soon.

Sweet. I really like that upper horn switch. From a form-follows-function standpoint I find switch tips pretty dumb.

[ThePearDream]

Thanks MM.

Progress shot:

Whoo! Color!

It looks a little darker than I expected, but I'm sure that once the clear is on, it'll come alive.

I like that darker green metallic. With the clear coats, oh wow!

[Embenny]

That dark forest green look is exactly what I've chosen for my next project - but I have a feeling that it will look more vibrant after the clear coat. It's a beautiful shade nonetheless. I keep opening this thread hoping to see the green - and finally it's happening! Exciting.

I do hope you're thinking of a white pearloid pickguard for it.

Me or mbene085?

I agree that white pearl would look great on dark metallic green, I already have my pickguard though.

I was thinking of yours. I didn't remember you had parchment already to go. That should look really good on it.

Yeah, too late for me. Maybe we can convince mbene085 though.

[Embenny]

No convincing needed. I already ordered an aged white pearl pickguard - it's going to be a Sonichris Marauder II body, forest green metallic, vintage Coronado neck, aged pearl pickguard, black Wilde Microcoil pickups/black knobs/black Jag switches, Faction plates with JM trem.

Don't want to derail this thread though, this Jazzmaster is going to be glorious and I think parchment is the perfect color. Those original dark Sherwood AVRIs were what sparked my love of Offset aesthetics and this is gonna look just as great.

[ThePearDream]

That should turn out really nice mbene085.

Now, to get this thread back on track:



That's much better.
