Here is my first ever build, JB4 and I'm very please with the results. All stock except for the Entwistle pickups which sound great. The build was made a heck of a lot easier with all the great help and videos on the site and forum. Thanks. (couldn't get all the images in portrait view here)

Thanks for the feedback guys. Yes a mouse gold (apparently) two part paint with a polyurethane finish both sprayed. I wanted to make the shape a bit more my own and not a norm JB hence the shaping of the headstock and horns plus a bit more bevel edging on the body.

Wow! That is super cool! I love the subtle shaping on the horns, great headstock and fantastic colour. Yep, I'm into it, for sure.

Beautiful JB Marke! All entries are top notch so far, keep it up guys!
Great JB Marke! Love the colour and the headstock shape really rocks. Amazing job!
