Hi everyone,
Attempting a first ever build and have decided to tackle the Jazzmaster/Mustang hybrid, JM-1. Here's an unboxing pic:
A quick fit together to check it actually was a guitar:
2 things to note whilst unboxing:
1. there was a small indentation around the base of the body. Don't think this will be and issue as it should sand out. May have to get a bit exuberant to shape it but I see this as too much of a problem
2. One of the screws on the bridge has been stripped and is still not sitting flush:
I'm not sure this is going to be a huge problem though. The unit looks to be fairly sturdy and secure. Guess we'll see as we go along.
My next stage is, of course, lots and lots of sanding....
I am currently thinking of finishing this guitar in a Daphne Blue Nitro Lacquer and having matching colour headstock.
Hope this is a lot of fun..... and it doesn't take too long before I get to play it!!!
