Members nathanlux Posted November 11, 2010 Members Share Posted November 11, 2010 I unexpectedly came into 3 grand today, so I was window shopping on the internets and impulsively clicked on this: http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-Order-Replmnt-Body-Neck-Hardware-4-Jazzmaster-/390190667880?pt=Guitar&hash=item5ad92d1868 hmmm.

Phil O'Keefe Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 I've seen pics of that guy's finishes before, and it looks like he does really authentic looking relics. I'd definitely be interested in seeing pics and hearing your thoughts about it once it arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members live-I-evil Posted November 11, 2010 Members Share Posted November 11, 2010 I hate you soooo much right now. Not really, but everything about this story screams win. I've seen pics of that guy's finishes before, and it looks like he does really authentic looking relics. I'd definitely be interested in seeing pics and hearing your thoughts about it once it arrives. Yeah, they look really good, I was about to buy one of his reliced tele bodies before I found my current builder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nathanlux Posted November 11, 2010 Author Members Share Posted November 11, 2010 Nice! Congrats. I wish I could unexpectedly come into 3 grand. Well, my step grandma died. So it's kind of a mixed blessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nathanlux Posted November 11, 2010 Author Members Share Posted November 11, 2010 I'm not sure if I want it reliced. But all the options are top notch. Alder, nitro, paint color and neck of choice. Sounded to good to pass up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nathanlux Posted November 11, 2010 Author Members Share Posted November 11, 2010 Any color and wood suggestions? Wood options are Swamp ash or Alder. Colors options are numerous. I already know I'm going with a nice fat neck with a rosewood fingerboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Aedes Posted November 11, 2010 Members Share Posted November 11, 2010 Any color suggestions? I already know I'm going with a nice fat neck with a rosewood fingerboard. anything but sunburst. for some reason i think sunburst jazzmasters don't look right.

Members triviani Posted November 12, 2010 Members Share Posted November 12, 2010 Congrats for the guitar! I will also keep an eye on this thread, looks interesting. The price is reasonable as well. Please report on the whole process! anything but sunburst. for some reason i think sunburst jazzmasters don't look right. This. Sherwood, Burgundy or Ocean turquoise are great..

ROCK ON. ah, what the hell. this isn't The Gear Page. I'll be sure to keep the thread updated. Looks like I'm going with Sherwood Green, rosewood fingerboard, light yellowing and wear. Still not sure about wood type. What do you guys think? Alder of Swamp Ash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
