Blue Ash Jazzmaster
This is the body I had intended to sticker up a ways back ala Billie Joe's "Blue." I ended up finding a different finished body to use and had this body hanging around. Finally feeling motivated to work on it. I installed the tremolo, one thimble, and one coat of shielding paint. Still working out what I want it to look like.

Re: Blue Ash Jazzmaster
Abalone pickguard came in. I like it. I am not a fan of the knobs being so white. Going to try to dye them with Stewmac amber dye diluted in water.

Re: Blue Ash Jazzmaster
Knobs weren't taking the dye, so I just swapped the covers.

Re: Blue Ash Jazzmaster
Absolutely! I mean that in the best possibly way. I get pulled in 8 different directions
and while I love working on instruments I have to wrestle the time away to do it.
I think we all love your builds!

All those Allparts witch hats? I seem to recall them being considerably whiter than the Fender ones, but things may be different these days.

Re: Blue Ash Jazzmaster
Thanks! I was really having trouble picking a guard for it. Tort is fine. Could do pearl or white or black, but the body was so bright I wanted something more unusual. This abalone is great. Super excited.
Not sure if they were from Allparts. I got them online and they came in a bag. They match the other covers much better.alexpigment wrote: ↑Sat Sep 18, 2021 9:31 amAll those Allparts witch hats?

With ash going away rapidly, I try to use it as often as I can.s_mcsleazy wrote: ↑Sat Sep 18, 2021 10:03 amgood to know i'm not the only one embarking on another ash build...... again

Re: Blue Ash Jazzmaster
Pickguard is wired. I picked these p90 style pickups because they were two wire instead of braided Gibson style. I wanted to do series parallel with the upper switch and this works much easier.

Got it all together. I just need a neck and straplocks for this to be done.

I love that color.
All pain and troubles melted away like lemon drops beyond the contrails across the sky.

Thanks! Almost wroth the pain in the ass that spray-paint was.
