Gratuitous body shots. There hasn't been much change except for another coat of stain over the edge I sanded back, it's about the same level of gloss as the rest of the body now.

The neck has come out much better than I expected. I applied the first layer of DT final neck coat earlier this week and it is looking and feeling awesome.

Cut some room for a P90 with a coping saw.

Having trouble deciding on a colour scheme for pickups. They are three different sizes, so I was toying with the idea of 3 colours.

Otherwise, if I can source a white P90 cover I'll make them all white.
Pic 3 with the cream P90, Black single coil, and Chrome Humbucker get my vote. Makes it look more vintage than other shots.
Bluesy I think any of the 4 options look mega cool so go with the one you favour
This looks so sick!
It definitely needs the cream P90 in it... would be sweet if you had one of those cream/black zerbras in the bridge but if not id go the black in the middle and chrome in the bridge (and maybe hit the chrome pickup cover with some 1200 grit to give it a satin/brushed look :D
Oh you mean like this? :DQuote:

On a winner there Bluesy.
this is such a nice build, and i agree with the cream and black combo
This guitar did actually get finished back in 2016, albeit some time long after the last post. The journey to completion was an arduous one involving a complete refinish, many curse words and by the time I was done...
I decided I was more of a keyboard player.
But over the last few months, I have been coming back around to the ways of fret and string. Two years of GAS free living then I somehow walk out of a local music shop with a Squier Affinity Jazzmaster that is perfectly fine, but for some reason I feel a need to replace the tuners... and just about everything else.
Next thing you know I'm pulling my guitar tools out of storage and having another go at setting up this JM-1 which I never got to intonate properly.
And now I think I can finally say I'm happy with this guitar. I played it for about 6 hours after I finished the set up. Couldn't put it down.

There's even a sound clip.
As long as I have the tools out... I do have a telecaster kit still sitting around.
This is the forum for people who think they already have too many guitars and need help to cut back right?
I think that might be the next door along, but this one doesn't seem to have an exit... :)Quote:
