Still not 100% happy with it so when time permits I'll probably have more alterations.
Looks good from my my house Mark!
I hadn't seen this post before so I read it all from the start. When you see a guitar that's finished (as in completed) you never really know what epic journey it may or may not have been through unless someone shares the whole story.
Now you've got me thinking about a JM build now, so thanks for that!
Did you fill in the route on the back as well?
Earlier this year I did a strat that was routed for vibrato and I converted it to a hardtail similarly to your JM. It didn't come out as flawless as I had hoped, but it was a good learning experience. If I do a JM, I think I would also make it a hardtail.
Cheers,
Mick
