Cheers Sonic.
I actually look forward to revising the previous work.
My Squier Tele has already undergone several revisions.
The Epiphone and Squier Bronco are also in a state of flux awaiting a refinish.
The Veneer arrives tomorrow so progress will resume shortly.
cheers, Mark.

cheers, Mark.
Yeah.......this will be finished waaaaaay before mine.
Nice work so far Mark.
Can't see what BassGuy is doing to his kit, not on fbook, but taking a bit off that lower bout does even the shape up a bit.
Out of curiosity, where did you get your veneer from?

Thanks Grant. After seeing what he did, I had a look at a few pictures of Jazzmasters. Seems like the JM-1 does have a slightly exaggerated offset.
It now sits quite well on the guitar stand if off to one side.
I was in Music Junction day before last and they had a Fender Jazzmaster sitting on a stand in the same position.
Picking it up I got the impression it's going to be a similar weight to mine.
I got the veneer from LuthierSupplies on ebay. Cost me $20 including postage.
I should get at least 3 headstocks worth out of it though.

Progress slowing down.

That’s looking sweet Mark.
Still waiting for hardware to show up so time to mull over what colours to settle on.
Tried out a few from the Molotow swatch.

I'm still thinking the Golden Yellow, but still got plenty of considering time.
(edit) Probably not the Vanilla or Menthol as those are the colours of my other guitars.
cheers, Mark.
