Ha that's awesome! Nice guitar even without the tort. There's those typical rumble seat music prices. I used to live in Ithaca and always new you could find a supremely cheapluau wrote:Rumble Seat has one. Cheap too!Felix wrote: I'd like to see Fiesta Red with block inlays. Yumm![]()

I do like the LPB one, though.
Anyway, let me see if I've got a few g-notes just lying around.

That is my '66.
I have a '62 in Dakota red with a tortoise guard, but nothing else with blocks. Here it is anyway:

Here's my clone built from an ebay body, USACG neck, fender hardware and lollar pups.

Nice guitar man. I mean really nice. I love the strong red tort as well.thewizardofaz wrote: Here's my clone built from an ebay body, USACG neck, fender hardware and lollar pups.

Is that tort for AV reissue Jazzmasters too? Or is it a different fit? I have a black AV with the brown guard--nice, but red would be my favorite.

Thanks Felix. It was fun to build too. I don't know if it's an AV RI for real or not. I bought it off ebay, it was advertised as fitting U.S. models. The holes all match up with the US pg I have, so who knows for sure?

thanks wizard.
I don't mind the brownish color of the guard, I just sometimes like the brighter red color. It makes it more distinctly vintage looking.
Hey zhivago, are those CIJ models? It would be cool to get a block inlay offset. I'd go for a Jag, though.

The black one is actually the same one that I posted above. It was a lot cleaner in the older photo, which was taken before I acquired it.zhivago wrote: hey there...they are both vintage originals![]()
