Jazzblaster
So I was given this (free)
And I turned it into this
My first build / restore attempt. Not perfect, but I'm pretty proud of it. I have the bug now, I want to do more

Re: Jazzblaster
Wow! Can you provide some extra details on the build and maybe some photos?
Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought Jazzblaster refers to a JM with humbuckers?

Re: Jazzblaster
it thought it was any modification that enhanced the sound of a stock jazzmaster? i may be wrong.leicaboss wrote:Wow! Can you provide some extra details on the build and maybe some photos?

anyhow, its and old 2000's MIJ jazzmaster, refitted with Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound pickups. the paint job is a mettalic burgunday mist with and additional sparkle lacquer layer. I also changed the bridge to a Mustang one.

Niiice! Free guitar got turned into something even better!
The darkened headstock definitely fits better than a normal one. What is that decal?

Re: Jazzblaster
Like it a lot but I always prefer white pickup covers with a black scratchplate

Re: Jazzblaster
Jazzblaster (while being a made up designation) generally refers to a Jazzmaster with Widerange Humbuckers, it sometimes gets stretched to any humbuckers, but thats the traditional usage.
Either way its a cool project!

Re: Jazzblaster
Very nice, but yes, a Jazzblaster is a JM with humbuckers, usually Wide Range ones.

How'd you get a jazzmaster body & neck for free?
