Having just picked up a Blacktop Jazz, I can honestly say the set up on it is close enough to an actual Thurston custom job - instead of the signature model which he probably doesn't play that much himself. Eather than customising it yourself, you're getting something that's already as tricked out as it needs to be - huge fat tones on the hummer, beautiful rich tones on the soapbar. I was thinking about customising mine a touch, but after careful consideration, I think it's about as customised as it needs to be.
But you know, it's up to you! Just make sure you get lots of lovely pictures to show us your handy work!
It's true, he doesn't play his signature model he has it on standby. the sig model is a replica of his green jazzy that is actually an allparts body...
Lee however does play his sig model!
anyway, yes you would have a nice replica, however to really make a replica you need to start with an american made jazzy, will be a massive difference in quality.
I have the real thurston deal though, and it is a beauty, worth every penny.
