That was such a random transitional model, and they axed it relatively quickly.valley_parade wrote: ↑Tue Jul 02, 2019 8:03 amNot just any Jazzmaster on the box there, a Squier VM Special. Weird!
The body of my sunburnt partsmaster is from a VM Special and it occasionally drives me crazy that I have that Strat jackplate on there with nothing attached. It's like my guitar has an exhaust vent or something601210 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 02, 2019 9:02 amThat was such a random transitional model, and they axed it relatively quickly.valley_parade wrote: ↑Tue Jul 02, 2019 8:03 amNot just any Jazzmaster on the box there, a Squier VM Special.

My poor college self wanted one so bad at the time until the jmjm came out.
I was looking for my original inspiration for pairing gold and mint, that I found on here, and haven't been able to find it yet. I'll post it when I do...robinbowes wrote: ↑Tue Jul 02, 2019 5:57 amI've ordered some pickup covers in parchment, so I have a choice between that and white.Shadoweclipse13 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 02, 2019 12:53 amLooks great so far!
It's not my project, but personally, you can't go wrong with parchment or some mint guards on gold. It's very classy. It's one of the few that tort doesn't look bad on though.
I know what you mean about the mint - needs to be a pretty subdued colour.

I'm not familiar with the various models - how did you know it was a Squier VM Special?valley_parade wrote: ↑Tue Jul 02, 2019 8:03 amNot just any Jazzmaster on the box there, a Squier VM Special. Weird!
Ah yes - Strat-style jack socket.valley_parade wrote: ↑Tue Jul 02, 2019 9:05 amThe body of my sunburnt partsmaster is from a VM Special and it occasionally drives me crazy that I have that Strat jackplate on there with nothing attached.

I may see if the place I'm getting the body/neck has a selection of pickguards and if they can send me pics of each option.ChristheRat wrote: ↑Tue Jul 02, 2019 10:10 amOooo, was gonna say wbw all day... but the tort looks so good
The lack of trem, and the bridge itself is pretty weird. It's a toploading hardtail that's more Danelectro style than Fender. It also had no rhythm circuit and concentric pots for volume and tone.robinbowes wrote: ↑Tue Jul 02, 2019 9:59 amAh yes - Strat-style jack socket.valley_parade wrote: ↑Tue Jul 02, 2019 9:05 amThe body of my sunburnt partsmaster is from a VM Special and it occasionally drives me crazy that I have that Strat jackplate on there with nothing attached.

What else is special about it?

Good idea.

I'll look this weekend for the one that originally inspired me in that combo (I feel it was a modern build, not an actual vintage), but I found this which is also epic:robinbowes wrote: ↑Tue Jul 02, 2019 10:00 amYes, please do.Shadoweclipse13 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 02, 2019 9:23 amI was looking for my original inspiration for pairing gold and mint, that I found on here, and haven't been able to find it yet.

I could do with making a decision...

Now that does look amazing.Shadoweclipse13 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 05, 2019 5:07 amI think it was from someone here, and I think it was Shoreline Gold with mint. KILLER combo
