You could always get a loaded body and then track down a neck that fits that you like the profile of, might be easier than tracking down an entire guitar. Plus that way you could be sure you like the body and be sure you like the neck separately!

Musikraft will make you a neck to your spec. I have a huge neck on my latest JM build...

Yeah, that's what I was gonna suggest.
I also suggest you call it the "Sylmaster" or "Sylcaster" or something silly like that.

I don't have tools and stuff. I cannot build a guitar.

You can get somebody (a local luthier?) to assemble it for you.

The TVL Jazzy has a bit fatter neck than other jazzies. But custom is probably the way to go.

If you got a neck and got an already loaded body all you would have to do is secure the neck to the body with the 4 neck screws and plate!

I built a Warmoth "jazzmaster" and used their 1.75" nut width Reverse neck.
everything from Warmoth was about $1050, but the neck alone was $540 due to the options i chose.
absolutely love it. everyone that has played it has fell in love with it also.
Matt Pike Lace 'Dirty Hesher' pickups.
Really love the pickups now after getting an Orange AD30 and Orange 4x12 cab. through that amp they absolutely shine. where through my Hovercraft dwarvenaut they don't sound quite as nice.

Pretty awesome, hybridmoments, I'd like to get something similar (except w/ a reverse Tele headstock & different pickups).
