After some of you asked to see more pics of the custom Jazzmaster my Dad is making for me, I've uploaded them onto photobucket and they can be seen here:

Unfortunately they're not in chronological order (can;t be bothered now...), but they give a nice insight into the build process.
This is the third guitar he's made, having done a Les Paul for himself about 10 years ago and a mini LP for my little brothers last year. He's now started on a Fender Flame/Esprit inspired guitar to use as an example of his work, and is looking to knock out a couple every year.
I've not seen the guitar myself since before it was routed, as my pa lives 300 miles away in Cornwall, so am itching to get my hands on it! Plus when I say custom, the only thing thats not really standard is the zero fret, plus it will have locking strap nuts from the off.
It has a no name trem as we couldn't afford a Fender one, but the rest is Fender stuff, including CIJ pick ups which I got on ebay for
