Troy Van L neck/body swap idea, anyone game?
Posted: Wed May 14, 2025 4:40 am
So…. I have a lovely oxblood TVL Jazzmaster.
I bought it to try and replace a ‘77 I used to have (that’s another very long story and I ended up buying another 77) and of all the re-issues I’d bought this is still my favourite.
But for some reason I just don’t love the colour. I know it’s the preferred version for most, and it is stunning, but it’s just not me. But the rosewood board is.
Before doing anything drastic I had an idea…
Is there anyone out there who would like an oxblood TVL body with the maple neck from the copper version?
I like the copper version and with my oxblood neck it is probably enough to satisfy my cravings for something unusual too!
I figure a swap like this would help retain some value on both instruments while being interesting.
I know it’s a long shot, I know it might not happen anytime soon but just putting it out there.
You don’t have to currently own a copper TVL either. We could get the next reasonably priced one that pops up on any platform.
Any interest peaked?
