    Took a while but thought you might like to see the results of the build we just got back using one of your kits. As close to a $12,000 '63 Jazz as I may ever come...

    wow Tuneden, welcome to the forum, I love this build, you have done a great job of the relic, would love to know how you got the aged look on the tuners, control plate and bridge and pickup covers.

    Slightly cheaper to build one than buy a 1963 Jazz bass

    also points for blurring out the 'F' name on the headstock

    damn the judges will be scratching their heads again in a few days !
    Current Builds and status
    scratch end grain pine tele - first clear coat on !
    JBA-4 - assembled - final tweaks
    Telemonster double scale tele - finish tobacco burst on body and sand neck

    Completed builds
    scratch oak.rose gum Jazzmaster - assembled needs setup
    MK-2 Mosrite - assembled - play in
    Ash tele with Baritone neck - neck pup wiring tweaks and play in

    Wow. A heavily populated competition. I thought I'd identified the winner early, but they just kept coming.

    Id be interested to know the judging criteria, or does each judge make up their own?

    I'm glad my 3 month build is still a few months off finishing.
    first build PRS-1TS in progress...

    Finally finished my 335. The last piece I've been waiting for was the truss cover which took a few weeks to get here.
    Upgrades are:
    Orange drop caps
    Bournes pots
    Shielded cable
    PBG bone nut
    Porter Classic Custom PUPS (these are amazing.. Just amazing!)
    Hardware PBG
    Pickup rings are from my esb4 build because black suited better.
    This guitar is so great to play. I actually prefer playing it to my G&L assat which has been my pride
    and joy for 10years. The action is so sweet and the tone is so awesome (sounds like a bought one!)
