Started work on my second build.
Did a mock build first, everything looks good and in place. Shaped the headstock, using a standard telecaster template.
Now I’ve started finishing the body. I...
Well just about done now!
Still have some wiring issues. Volume and tone don’t quite work properly - and some earthing issues.

Good to hear, my wife gets 50% off super cheap auto! I’ll head there tomorrow!
Today I did a mock build, everything looks good. Scale length seems spot on, and as long as the neck is right up...
Oh I would absolutely get one if this became available. Personally, would prefer a 3-3 headstock, and love the bigsby option.
Thanks VonScott,

Hi all,
Just received my first kit - a JZA-1.
Have always wanted a jazzmaster - looking forward to building my own!
