Re: This week at Copacetic Customs...
Another day, another offset!
This was a custom build for a customer who found me on instagram, based around an IYV mustang body married to a 2012 Squier VM Jaguar Neck (one of the good ones with Rosewood fb) and adorned in a new coat of luscious Saturn Lilac poly. Stewmac .5 degree shim, cavity shielded, new Fralin strat-size p90 in bridge, mustang pup in neck. Full fret level and polish, fret end dressing, nut recut to eliminate some sitar like buzzing. Setup in drop C# with 9-46 strings, it plays like butter!
And in a bizarre twist of fate, this CV Mustang I refinished for a fellow forum member ended up coming back into my possession. The nitro finish has checked up beautifully in the past year or so and it sounds and plays as good as it looks. Its technically for sale if anyone is interested but I am very tempted to just hang onto it because its so rad!
And just to tease a bit, another updated shot of this EBMM bass in big obnoxious Amethyst bass boat flake

Re: This week at Copacetic Customs...
Great work, lots of nice colours going on and it's cool to see some alternative shades (I especially like the lilac)
Not too sure about the routine decal-swapping of Squiers to Fenders though... a little naughty really but, meh, not really my business. Just be careful you're not caught and fined!

Re: This week at Copacetic Customs...
I understand the sentiment, however I only put fender decals on squiers upon customer request and if they promise to never sell it as a fake. I should probably get something in writing, but I like to think I can take people on their word. Besides, due to the custom nature of these builds, my customers usually plan to keep them for life. Just as a safety net i usually put Copacetic Customs decals on the back of the neck under lacquer so it can never be passed off as a factory Fender. They usually get modded/upgraded to the point where they're equal to or better than a "real" Fender anyways if i dare say so myselfjohnnysomersett wrote: ↑Wed Feb 23, 2022 2:32 pmGreat work, lots of nice colours going on and it's cool to see some alternative shades (I especially like the lilac)

Any squier or "off" brand I sell on reverb etc. gets one of my custom made Feelgood decals. Definitely dont want any cease and desists in the mail lol

Re: This week at Copacetic Customs...
Many thanks, friend :-)
I liked it, but I can't say I'd spend the money on one if it was my guitar. Ive never really had many problems with a nice standard 3 saddle tele bridge, and the mastery only seems to marginally improve intonation. They are well made to be sure, but i've always been just fine with Leo's classic designs, which you can buy 2 or 3 of for the price of one mastery unit.

Re: This week at Copacetic Customs...
Another week (maybe more idk) has passed and another batch of offsets have been revolving through the shop here in beautiful Austin TX! Finished up several builds/refins that have been featured on this post while being sprayed, so hopefully it'll be satisfying to some of you to see them completed!
This will be a lengthy one but i'll try to make the scrolling worth your while!
Starting with the ones i first posted the longest ago:
This beautiful "Kushguana Green" Sparklemaster went home to the lucky sonofagun who ordered it.. Novak pups, mastery bridge/trem, 920d Vintage wiring harness, rolled fingerboard edges... and it started as a lowly CV Jazzmaster
Next up, finished up this slick looking matched headstock on a TVL neck for forum member sciuri:
This has surely got to be one of the coolest jag basses in existence... MIJ with allllll the knobs n switches refinished in "Ripe Plum Metallic" for Lori, an awesome repeat customer of mine (repeat customers get a permanent "family" discount on all future work FYI)
Any Telemaster (offset tele?) fans in the house?? Ice blue metallic is always a stunner, especially with the requisite matching headstock!
This one is reallllly sick... Inspired by the superbly talented Michael Lemmo's recently gifted Lake Placid Blue 1964 Jazzmaster, this puppy is ready to go home to a happy new home with Liam, a super cool talented young dude who will undoubtedly shred it for years.. Mastery bridge, Lollar pups, Fender hardware, yeaaaaah dude.
And i admit i saved my favorite for last... Jazzmaster/Coronado hybrid finished in gorgeous Atlantis Aqua Metallic Nitro... This guitar leaves me speechless honestly, its definitely in my top 3 all-time list. Fender Jazzmaster body, Fender Coronado II neck, copacetic finish!
Thats -mostly- everything from the past week or so. I'll surely be checking in soon with more offset goodness. Stay weird
