Hollow-body jazzmasters

Post by VREEEEVROOOOOW »

Who makes hollow-body jazzmasters? I know Fender Japan did, and Scout Guitars did. But no clue as to anyone actually selling any these days.

Bilt has the Zaftig model. Revelation guitars had a model, I think it was rtj60m or something. It was pretty cool looking. Had a strat tremolo and it was in a really cool green colour. Don't know how it plays though. And Eastwood makes reissues of the old Charvel Surfcasters, which are kinda jazzmasterish hollow bodies (in appearance at least). Italia guitars has the Modena semitone which can look a bit like a Jazzmaster if you squint your eyes really hard.

That Saylor would be awesome if it had binding. I contacted them a bunch to see if they could make one but never got a response.

You need to resize photos before uploading. I just use MS Paint and typically resize photos to 50%. Alternatively I think there are some image hosting sites that can automatically reduce image sizes.

Gotcha'. It was off my phone so I'll have to send it to my desktop.

The link works though.

Thanks! He made me two. The other one is Blonde without the Mastery.

Might have to let the sunburst go soon since I can only take two guitars with me to London when I move.

He's not super expensive either for a custom build. He's in Knoxville.

Here's the second Novelli for comparison. Both are chambered:
