Got this used for a KILLER deal because of a chip on the back edge and some finish bubbling on the back of the neck. Going to sand the finish off the neck anyway so, no brainer.
I usually use my JM but, I'm getting older and my back is going out, so I've been using my thinline Tele (pictured) a lot lately. But I miss the girth of the JM pickups. This guitar is LITERALLY the best of both worlds and it's hawt as hell to boot so...

Nice! I always wondered why these didn't make more of a splash when they came out. They look great. The upcoming LPB version looks killer too.
How's the neck?
Also, I was pretty sure these come with P90s disguised as JM pickups, like the Mascis JM?

Excellent! I love the look of this guitar. How do you plan to sand the finish?

I'm no expert, but my guess is with sandpaper of some kind.

Yeah, the pickups are getting swapped out next paycheck.
These pickups sound good but I want the real deal.

Nice, what kind of pickups are you swapping in?

The lake placid blue model looks awesome. I had the fiesta red on pre-order forever last year. Eventually backed out because I was tired of waiting. Might have to do it again for LPB
Pretty sure it was confirmed that the pickups are similar (if not exactly) what's used in the JMJM.

They are. Listing them in the FS section as we speak!

FInally got around to upgrading this bad-dad.
AV65 pickups, Jazz Bass wiring, AV65 witch hats, Spacer's Choice sticker.

Mercy! That three-white-witch-hat configuration looks fan-damn-tabulous!
