JM-1 Mashup

So I've had this idea in my head for a while (two actually) for some left of centre/slightly modded guitars.

I got two kits to interchange a few of the parts but I’m not going to do both at once.

Both the kits are standard ST-1M and JM-1 kits, the kits will get the necks switched (because I love the look of maple neck Jazzmasters) and the controls from the JM will end up on the ST but that’s just the start.

intriguing....

Got the plan/colours/design all worked out but first, some fiddly work plugging up a few holes :)

Looks like some repositioning going on. Are you making a custom pickguard too? Intriguing indeed. :)

Yeah mate, will need to knock up a custom one for functional and aesthetic purposes... it'll be white :)
