Big fan of these. Collaboration with Castedosa, at not Castedosa prices.

I wanted to post about these today but couldn‘t find another pic than the one from IG.

I really like the 50s meets Meteora look with the big pickguard.

[BoringPostcards]

They look decent enough. Ugly headstock though.

Dont mind it myself, put me in mind o Bigsby

[Gav Haus]

Thank god! We were crying out for another Jazzmaster variant.

Headstock is a big no for me - looks like a Smurfs hat.

They sure look perfect for some serious blues litigation. The headstock makes me yearn for the end of days.

[javier-san]

I actually really like them and don't mind the headstock.

[marqueemoon]

Built a lot better, but it looks like something Eastwood would do.

[welshywelsh]

Yeah, surprised they've stuck with the headstock shape for these, the Castedosa version is much nicer. Guess they wanted to keep the distinction. I could live with it though, looks better against this body shape than on their JM Custom.

The trem plate on the green is much closer to the bridge than the sunburst right? Is it like a vintage/modern option?

Good eye! When I looked on the website, the black and lpb ones were serial numbers 2 and 3, so maybe the sunburst was a prototype/1. There's no option to specify trem placement as far as I can see.

Oof yeah, that headstock

Turns out you were spot on. Shelby from black bobbin posted on the offset subreddit and that sunburst is a prototype. Sounds like regular models will ship with the trem plate nearer the bridge.

Over £3000.

Yeah, no thank you.

I was looking for more info bc BB said it was on the site - I found nothing. I love the looks, but more than $1300-1500 for a JM-inspired variant causes me to instantly lose interest.
