Handmade Custom Jazzmaster!!

GHOSTLYxSTRAT

Hey!! greetings all I've seen alot of other people showing off their custom builds so i just wanted to show off mine 😛 here are some pictures of me and my old mans custom jazzmaster we built from scratch this is the 3rd guitar we have built as we have sold the other 2 😛

Anyways this is how we make guitars down under in NZ lol.

Well here it is, has 2 seymour duncan pickups, wood pickup rings, 1meg pots, sperzel staggered locking tuners, the same jazzmaster circuit, jazzmaster/jag trem tailpiece mounted flush with the body for that better break angle, and a TOM bridge.

As for the wood its american cherry so its very solid, inlayed 5mm thick mahogany with an inlayed pinstripe it's not painted on!!!

We enjoyed making this! hopefully you guys will like it. We are also making a arch top tele photos soon!!

And for anyone wondering yes we are putting strap buttons on it and are working on a logo lol.

And Should I demo it? but be warned i'm no Jimi Hendrix.

i like the counter sunk trem and other bits, very nice, im not a fan of the pickup rings, but its still pretty cool.

whats the story on the neck? it looks a bit too naked without a decal imo.

I like everything but the neck to be honest. Wish the headstock was stained to match the body. I don't mind the pickup rings.

Hey, yeah we are currently making/designing a suitable logo as we speak lol, as for the neck we bought it as a blank and shaped it up, all the frets were worked on and yeah we were thinking about staining the neck as well here are some other photos of another tele we built

hopefully we will soon we are just currently working on an arch top tele plus our official logo lol. Again NOT trying to advertise these here but we have sold these for around $1500-$2500 nz (depending on the model we make etc...) for anyone that really wants to know LOL. We really just did this just seeing what people around the world think of our work. We were making them locally here in in New Zealand and a mate of mine told me to show some pictures off on these forums so people around the world can see our work and to hear what they have to say about them so I did 😛

Here is the tele we are currently working on:

Deciding what pickups to put in it now maybe some TV Jones or something along those lines or might even make our own but we will see.
