    Now that is cool, a proper jag style kit with all the chrome and switches would be cool too

    That greenburst is magical. A surfcaster kit would surely turn a few heads, its the perfect blend of a Rick and a Fender I recon.

    scale lengths

    It gets confusing because the Jagmaster had either a 24 or a 25.5 inch scale depending on when and where it was made
    Jazzmaster 25.5
    Mustang 24 or 22.5 option
    Charvel Surfcaster 25.5
    So in other words probably dosen't matter lol

    So I've found a rough cut Jazzmaster blank and I think I will have a go at a scratch build. I will let you know how it went in about two/three years....

    I have actually been collecting up a few parts for a while for the project. The body is western (soft) maple. I have some 3mm maple for the top also. Will have to get the body thicknessed down a few mm and rout out the section where the f-hole is before dropping the top on. When the body lands I will take some happy snaps of where its at. Gotta finish a couple of amp projects first though.
