JM-1 The King's 2nd PitBull build

[neverwas]

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.
