Yep, made to order. I mostly stick with shortscale models and mashups of shortscales.

C,

you have mad skills man! What setup do you use to cut out the bodies?

Thanks,

Thanks! I mainly use a bandsaw, drillpress, hand router and a small router table.

What is the size and horse power of your bandsaw?

Thanks,

All I have at the moment is a small Craftsman table top bandsaw. Now sure what model it is
without looking at it.

C,

I am wondering if you can flip the jaguar body to create a "Supersonic"?

Thanks,

Could you make Mustang body with a Jag/Jazz trem & bridge route?

No. It's a completely unique body though I know cooterfinger can totally do it.

Unfortunately, I haven't got templates for a Supersonic. I'm also kinda winding things down for the winter since there's not much
daylight left by the time I get home from work. I'd be more than happy to tackle the job come spring if you're still interested.

I can but the shipping is usually around $60 to the UK. By the time you add that to the price of the body and pickguard
it isn't much of a bargin for you guys.

I can send you a template for a Supersonic with a Mustang neck pocket if you need it.

Thanks taylornutt. I'd like to try a Supersonic build some day. Sorry, somehow I missed your offer when you posted it.

BTW, I just made this 25.5" scale version of the JagJazzStang for a member over at reranch.
If anyone is interested I can make it with 2 Jazz or 2 Jag pickups as well. I could work out a 3 jag
pickup version for you Cyclone II guys.

I'm making Bass VI bodies now.

Poplar for $150 shipped conUS, Alder for $175 shipped conUS. Price includes a black or white pickguard.

Thanks.

Oh god. I can feel another gear purge coming on... What neck scale are you building them for? ie. Would a strat conversion neck go on there?

cooter · Post by **cooter** » Wed Apr 03, 2013 9:15 pm

A 21 fret 30" scale neck. I'm using a set of Rhoney's templates.

I too will chime in with praise for the work cooter does, I received my second custom job body from him and it's ace despite only having some shitty ideas and drawings to work from. Some nicely done pickguards too!

Hey guys,
I'm closing up shop for awhile to work on other things. I will be working on finishing up all the stuff I've committed to.
So, if we've spoke of a project and I said I was up for it then I'm still good for it. Just send me a pm.
I just won't be taking on any new orders for awhile.
Thanks everyone,
Richard

Open for business. I'm making sawdust again if anybody needs anything.

Thanks,
