Yeah, it was fine. I'm pretty sure the bodies are from Korea but they do all the finishing in-house.
edit: they don't actually sell unfinished bodies, or offer refinishing so maybe not. Also, Japan, not Korea, although I swear I'd read that before though.. maybe a different model. However:

Jazzmaster Body | 2-piece Alder
We've been making bodies and necks for many years now, and in that time we have achieved a reputation among builders and luthiers for producing wood products of the highest quality.
Our range of Jazzmaster bodies are manufactured in Japan, using hand-selected hardwoods imported direct form the USA. We've spent months working with our colleagues in Japan to ensure these bodies match the look and feel of this iconic instrument.
2-piece construction
All our Jazzmaster bodies are manufactured using only 2 pieces of matched Amercian alder, and are finished to an exceptionally high standard

I’d say the poly coating is maybe on the thinner/more brittle side, as it got a few small minor scratches on it when I was putting it all together.
That said, you always notice tiny flaws on an otherwise flawless finish, especially on a very dark colour like black, so it might just be standard fare that I’m focusing more closely on.
Will compare with the black CV Jag’s “wear and tear� when I get back to my place. As I’ve been away, and playing gf’s stock VMJM, it’ll be interesting to switch back.
It was also a little heavier than the stock VM body but not “heavy� by any means; the completed guitar is still lighter than the CV I had a moan about.

Sounds like they think they can’t sell enough so haven’t tried. From the number of lefties on shortscale it seems like they are a pretty significant minority of players.euan wrote:I think I had a chat to them about lefty Tele parts and it was basically a no we can't sell enough so don't bother

I think the reality matches the expectation. You just need to look at whats on Reverb/eBay to see there aren't that many left handed guitars out there. Which is obvious given that the shops don't actually stock that many in the first place.NickD wrote:Sounds like they think they can’t sell enough so haven’t tried.

Back at my place, I managed to put some nice bucklerash on the upper bout after 30m of playing, wearing my new metal-strap equipped watch, doh.
There's a good chance it'll buff out, and you only really see it when the light catches it, kinda annoying though, but still annoying.
