Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
Very nice. Paying close attention to this one.

Thanks Frankie and Sonic.
Here comes an hiatus.
Can't do any work on the body until the bridge/tremolo arrives from China.
No progress on the neck until the maple veneer arrives.
I guess I could start messing around with the headstock logo.
cheers, Mark.
Last one until my maple veneer arrives.
cheers, Mark.
Having read Bass Guy's build thread, (although Grant did something similar) I've stumbled upon another modification.
After looking at a few Jazzmaster jpegs, I'm going to carve away some of the lower bout which is a tad exaggerated in the JM-1.
I'm mainly concerned about getting it to sit better in a guitar stand.
cheers, Mark.
That makes sense as offsets tend to be a bit bottom heavy.

Hi Waz, yes I think it's an improvement.
After measuring, it's 40" which is an inch longer than my Strat/Tele and Squier Tele.
So probably still wouldn't fit in a standard case (not that I have one to try).
cheers, Mark.
