Members travisbrowning Posted July 15, 2013 Members Share Posted July 15, 2013 I really hate the pale blue of the Squier Jazzmasters, so I decided to refinish mine in beautiful Ocean Turquoise. I went with Graceys Vintage Finishes instead of reranch this time and I can highly reccomend both of them. This is actually the fastest refinish I've ever done, I started sanding at about 10am and was spraying the clear coat by the afternoon. It was also a really easy guitar to sand, still a pain in the ass. Heres some pics, just know that the pictures do NOT do it justice at all, this is really the most beautiful color I've sprayed on any guitar. It shows up a lot more blue than it really is, in person there is a nice deep green to it. I love it and can't wait to finish it up but I have to let the clear harden before I do a final polish. Another thing, I skipped a primer coat enteriely still worked very well! I got some clouding on my last spray of clear but it's not bad at all.

Phil O'Keefe Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 They released new colors for the Marr Jag???Excuse me gentlemen... I'm off to the Fender site to check them out... And no Alien, the VM Jags have rosewood fingerboards with a 9.5" radius and IIRC, medium jumbo frets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Okay, there's nothing I could find on Fender's site, but on their Facebook page they had a picture of some custom color Marr Jags that they made for him for his upcoming tour... and you're right. The green is gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members alien Posted July 16, 2013 Members Share Posted July 16, 2013 Yes the mojo of the mij stuff comes off the cheap vibe u get from the cheap hardware in my experience, the ovr spray of nitro clear on mine gives and added depth of cosmicivity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
