My First Build Thread (aka My Little Jazzmaster)

Post by foomanfat »

Alright, so I was eying and scoping and waiting to find a Jazzmaster suited to my tastes for a not so ridiculous price, when it was suggested to me, "Why don't you build one?"
So, here I am with a head full of dreams and a drawer full of JM hardware.
I initially set out to be wild and different, but, after gathering all the parts to my specs, I realized I'm basically making a custom Thurston Moore JM. Whatever.

So here it goes. End goal: Seafoam Green Jazzmaster, sans rhythm circuit and tone knob.

The parts arrive:

All the boring drilling done:

Set up for sealing:

After being sealed with clear:

P.S. Working in a customs and restoration shop has it's benefits, i.e. full access to a paint booth and ample supply of paint.

Super excited to see the outcome. I'm beginning a project on refinishing my Gibson from wine red to Goldtop, starts tomorrow actually. After that I plan on doing a JM so this is perfect to watch.

I used to own a TM Jazzmaster and that fucker was mighty bright without the tone control. I added a 500k tone pot that made a ton of difference as far as sonic versatility goes.

You should consider adding it, oh, and matching that headstock! Also excited to see the results, should be an excellent guitar.

Looks sick. I'm stoked for this. But, wouldn't this fall under the DIY forum?
