My Black Jazzmaster project....Pics
I picked up a used CIJ body off an Offset member, so I decided to build a Partsmaster....
Specs:
AVRI pickups, no rhythm circuit
AVRI trem
Allparts pickguard
I cannibalized my MIM Strat neck for now....
All under $500!
The AVRI trem doesn't fit worth a shit in the CIJ body for some reason. I didn't have any problems with my other CIJ when I installed the AVRI unit in it. The routing is too small, so the trem-lock won't go all the way forward, and the front of the trem scrapes on the front of the route. It isn't really functional. I have to route it a little I guess. Lame.
The beginning:
Some shitty indoor pics....I'll get some outdoor shots tomorrow. I started at 5:30, and it's now 10:30 and dark.

If you get the Allparts neck and need a decal I think I have one. If you want it just PM your addy.RumorsOFsurF wrote:Thanks!
The maple fretboard is temporary until I find a suitable replacement. I had a line on an MIJ Squier Strat neck with black headstock, but the deal fell through. I'll probably go with an Allparts neck, just because they're cheap, and the quality seems to be good.
Smells like Rock n' Roll

Oh fuck yea, black block inlay and binding!DGNR8 wrote:I love the black and red. That would work if the MIM neck had the black inlays. You could use electrical tape for now.
What is the black stuff made of? What's around those pickups?
It's looks great with out it, though.
If you think of god as a pair of pants, a spiritualist thinks he needs pants, in fact he wants pants but none of the conventional types of pants seem to fit just right, so he makes his own pants and is happy that his knees are no longer cold.-fibus

I know Strats aren't too popular around here, but I got a thing for Black Strats with black pickguards and large headstock maple necks I think they look hot.mage wrote:bubbles posted a kisekae thing a while back of a black JM with black pickguard and maple neck that looked hot as fuck. maple necks look ace with black.
