The luthier who built my Thinline is starting his own series of Thinlines now, and he is using the cat-eye holes. Those are really cool. I'll have to test that one out.

Members thom Posted January 21, 2011 Members Share Posted January 21, 2011 Not a hijack at all. I was hoping this thread would go this direction See http://guitarmill.com/guitarmill/?page_id=16&shopp_pid=22 Prices are a bit too high for me, but it might be the only alternative to buying the parts on eBay. Thanks for the tip. But daaayumn...$490 for a neck like the one I described:eek: If that's my only alternative to ebay it seems like I'm f*cked.

Members mr benn Posted January 21, 2011 Members Share Posted January 21, 2011 Looks cool.I just might have to steal that idea of combining the chrome of the jaguar with the pickups and longer scale lenght of the jazzmaster. I don't dislike the look of a regular jazzmaster, but the jag looks just a tiny little cooler impo, thanks to the chrome. Any idea where in UK/EU I can find parts if I were to finaly build me my own axe? I'd also want a neck with binding and block inlays, but with a more traditional jag/jm look. Meaning no f-holes or sparkly finish, and the normak hardware. Srry to hijack the thrad btw:) Thom even with shipping and taxes it'll work out in our favour to order from the states due to the exchange rate http://www.usacustomguitars.com/ http://www.warmoth.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hangwire Posted January 21, 2011 Members Share Posted January 21, 2011 any thought about a tele "tray" through body bridge rather than a hardtail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, an AVR jm doesn't have all those perfect features I want, but it's close, and it's just an excellent instrument.

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted January 22, 2011 Author Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 any thought about a tele "tray" through body bridge rather than a hardtail? A wilkinson short might be interesting, but i'm not convinced it is better than a strat bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members iodine74 Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 If you can get away with not having the chrome rings around the pickups, I think that'd be a plus.. particularly if you are going with the Jaguar plates... it'd just be too much. But that's me. Other than that... love the color choice and the idea. Maybe not the bridge, but if you want body through I understand. I have a pic of someone who has one without the rings on a comp somewhere. Just Googling...came across this. I just think the look is perfect.

I actually like the chrome rings, though I think most guys here would agree with you that they're "too much." I just can't get enough of the chrome The bridge is tricky. For most, it isn't a Jazzmaster without the traditional bridge and trem... and that is probably true. But I already have a top-loading Mustang, Telecaster, Vox Ultrasonic, and Gretsch 1628 Synchromatic. I only have 2 thru-body guitars - my USA Bullet and my Thinline Bullet Esquire. I think it would be more interesting for my purposes to have a Fender offset that is thru-body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted March 16, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 16, 2011 That neck looks fantastic. I quite like it too. But now it will no longer be a "Custom Jazzmaster." With the Jaguar body, I suppose it would be a Jaguanado. I wonder if that's been done already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
