Oh wow! A fun build that is too much work for most of us , so happy to follow you through this. You have not scrimped on anything. The guitar body looks lovely. With all those premium appointments. This is going to be a dream guitar!!. Looking fwd to the final build and tone that you get out of this beautiful thwang!
Thank you so much your continued patronage is really most appreciated. Yes the bank balance was hot hard for this one though thankfully not all at once. Praying the build goes smooth and need to get a proper hard case for this well.
Great video, thank you for posting. Years ago, aggravated at the prices of Fender Jazzmasters (new) I started looking to build my own Jazzmaster. I went to the Warmoth site and selected only the basic choices for what I needed. Not including the hardware and electronics, I was almost at the cost of an American Made Jazzmaster. With the hardware and electronics, my cost was more than the American Made Jazzmaster. Warmoth is WAY TOO EXPENSIVE (at least back then, and I doubt they have become more affordable today). If you are looking for a boutique build that is nicer than a Fender, Warnoth is your ticket. The funny part of this story is that, I actually called Warmoth and asked them what I was doing wrong on the website because the Warmoth build was really expensive. The guy I talked to kind of laughed and asked who ever told me that a Warmoth build would be cheap and at that, cheaper than a stock Fender Jazzmaster. He did say (which, today, I know is fact) that Fender makes NO body or neck that comes close to what Warmoth offers....
This is almost completely like the current project I'm building! I went with the Lollar Black Bobbins instead. This was a great video and I got a little preview of how my project can turn out. Great job!
Jesus that is a whole load of premium parts. In terms of the grounding, strip the wire end and expose it on a screw below the plate. It will get grounded!
