hi all, my JM-1 kit arrived a little while ago so I wasted no time tearing into it, I was pleased with the condition and
overall finish of the guitar upon un boxing, only had one little bit of damage a dent on the fretboard, but thankfully
not too bad. Spent a full day giving it a good sand and trial fit, all good so I hit it with some primer then sand,sand
and sand some more till it was ready for paint.
The neck I decided to go over with vintage amber and I really like the colour of tit now, gave everything a couple light coats of clear didn't want a full on gloss look, pretty happy with the look of it.
Actually looks fairly blue in the pics but its a greenish blue in the flesh. All standard apart from the Ernie
ball cobalt strings.
I will be doing some mods to it soon as I really don't like the sound of the pups, seems very tone'y similar
to the p90's in my SG, these are nice on a clean channel but are utter crap with distortion which makes up
the majority of my preferred playing style, been looking at some Tonerider pups but still undecided whether
to go for them or something I already have here.
