JM and Modded JM builds

[K-Line]

Hi. What colour is the JM? It looks great.

It is the code correct DuPont Shoreline Gold!  I pulled the original Duco code and mixed per original formula.

for me, the Strat neck looks seriously wrong on a JM and it would be a total deal-breaker when purchasing a JM-style guitar.

I even dislike the fact the Japanese Block n' Bound necks have the incorrect size headstock (and wrong decal)


but that's just me...I've played Jazzmasters for many years now and I'm set in my ways

I can only agree. 

+2....

Of course, I have a B&B Japanese JM with said incorrect headstock, and a JM project with Strat neck in the construction stage.  Ambivalent?  Yes and no.

The wrong headstock is worth it just for the blocks, and the Strat neck is cheap.

i find everything but a real jm headstock shape looks terribly wrong on a jm body, even the big cbs headstock.

then again, i'm currently pursuing two jm projects that involve "wrong" headstock shapes

The headstock shape doesn't really bother me. I'm going with a smaller strat headstock on my Warmoth overhaul after having a CBS headstock on there for the last six years.

Hey, cool to finally see a K-Line Jazzmaster!
