Yeah. Bound and Blocked is teh sex. Bound and Dots are pretty hot too. Spent the summer looking for bound JM necks. Musikraft starts making them again, a month after I finish the build above...

Where's skullservant?
His custom builds are amazing; pretty sure he has at least one Telemaster build.
He has a 12-string in the BST right now
I'm pretty sure he uses Warmoth too, but I could be wrong

Here here
Thanks for the words dude
I've built a telemaster, telecaster, firecaster, built up a jazzmaster, and a few other things
Can't recommend alphine_oregon on eBay enough. Dude makes amazing bodies at great prices and does custom shit too for not a whole lot more.
DC Kunkle on eBay is an excellent neck builder
I've had plenty of warmoth necks built too, their standard thin profile is my favorite

He made it out of MJT parts with an MJT relic finish, and it's the best playing and sounding Jazzy I've ever had the joy of nodding around on, and we've had quite a few pre CBS offsets come through our shop.
I second the MJT. It just feels like an old friend.
That finish is beautiful

Saylor Guitars (alpine_oregon) has a great looking JM body up now on ebay:

There are a few other JM bodies listed as well with different pickup routs. Great looking grain on them too.

I had great luck with a MJT body, Musikraft Neck. Neck was a huge V-C profile, vintage frets, ebony board. Shipped to MJT match the body finish. Novak WRHB's for Jazzmasters absolutely rip. Mastery Tremolo is fucking ridiculous. So sustain. Much awesome. Every JM enthusiast should have a guitar with those PU's and Mastery in it. This guitar is whisper quiet, and still sounds remarkably like a JM, if a little bigger and ballsier...
Here's the build thread:

That guitar is killer! Thinking of trying Novaks in my Squire Mascis but can't decide between WRHBs or PAFs.

I also want to save up for some Novaks in my Mascis Squier. I'm debating between the WRHB or P180 or even the PAF.
