This Jazzmaster is… is… I dont know what but its something!!

[CloudZzZz]

So theres this mystery parts Jazzmaster I've been thinking of acquiring for a little fixer upper project but at this point I'm about 75-70% sure its not a copy but the owner has zero information regarding its history, era, make, ect. So I bring this mystery Franken-Jazzmaster to you good people, thee bastions of offset knowledge, what say you?
I'll be checking it out in person tomorrow but figured it prudent to best do a bit of homework before.

That's an Ibanez neck.

[mackerelmint]

It's bizarre and awesome. Probably worth getting.

Beautiful guard. Ash body? Can't tell if the body and the trem are authentic.

It likely started out as a pre-CBS JM (judging by the pickguard). Looks like a lot of the original parts are there (apart from the neck, bridge, 3-way toggle switch and trem-lock). What's the asking price?

Good shout. I was thinking DeArmond but the truss-rod cover looks wrong.

Looking at the belly cut, it's a rosewood veneer (hence the painted edges) - so it could be an original body, but hard to imagine that's worth anything once it's been planed back for veneering.

[mgeek]

aah yes- I was toying with the idea of it being a veneer too- the join in the centre looks too good/matching with the headstock to be true and it looks like it's peeling/cracking a bit

How would you tell if it's been planed back or not? Could have just been stripped and bunged on...whoever did this is no master craftsman

I don't know what this is, but it's very very cool looking!
