I second that!

Natman

Will do, as this thing starts to take shape. I started the project in 2004 and never really made the time for it. I needed to decide on the colors and the electronics, but I figured it out now and I have some funky paint coming by mail and it's almost warm enough outside to spray!

robertoriginal

that looks amazing

more pics asap.

did you build from scratch or were they ordered parts?

please tell!

Natman

Uh lets see: body from scratch, neck from USACG, many parts from original JS (bridge plate, control plate), some aftermarket (TOM, tuners, neck plate, nut, etc). I have fancy paint on the way which I hope to start spraying after exams, in about 3 weeks. It has a full strat scale (slightly enlarged body). Mahogany/ebony neck, alder/ash body, modified "Fender" H2 pickups...

That pic has made me think a JS would look awesome in natural, with a darker head, exactly like yours is in that pic. Black or Tort P/G. Could look awesome!

What funky paint you using?

Lambtron

I agree. Black pickguard, black pups and F-tuners. Maple fingerboard and it could be a 70's Jag-stang!

Natman

Well I'm shootng for some kind of gold & green chameleon or flake thing. I have an aged pearl pickguard and the H2 pickups don't show any polepieces (like Lace Sensors but for humbuckers). If I chicken out, I'll most likely stick to green. Ironically I have a CBS neck with block inlays from Warmoth that I thought of putting on this one. I'm saving that for another project! The JS body shape is severely underrated IMO. I still say the 24" scale keeps it from being an awesome guitar and people should be copying it more!
