Well, I've finished the neck on the Loveless One, put some fine tuners on, polished the frets, oiled the rosewood and cut a new bone nut and all that is left is for me to fit the pickups when they arrive. All good stuff.
And so I find myself looking around at piles of parts and deciding what it is I want to do....and where does my gaze fall, but onto the Jaguar/Jazzmaster body I picked up for my ill-fated escapade into the realms of custom guitar building.
The body, at the time, I was really pleased to get. It is a handmade, ash Jazzmaster/Jaguar shaped thing and is crying out for a lovely blue paisley finish. I've also got a nice hand made big-headed Strat neck, which looks the part and a real temptation to put some top notch single coils in there. The original plan was P90 plus a Humbuckers, then it was going to be a pair of Gibson P90s...but I like the idea of a Strat in Jaguar body, so I'm going to do that. (I know, I always put humbuckers and P90s in Strats, so obviously it makes sense to put Strat pickups into a Jaguar, like obviously.)
I'm thinking I should get some that are on the warm side though, just to give it some bite and a touch of oomph.
No fotos yet as it is still vapourware, at the moment...but probably will be more 3D come tomorrow.
Unless I do something else instead,
always a concern.
