haha pretty much exactly! :fp: funny thing is i just started with a regular jm from the dressing room in photoshop, flipped it, then massaged the porportions, curves, pickguard, even the control plate i snagged from a jag and flipped it.

never even looked at a supersonic when i was doing this and here it turned out to be flat out rip-off. kinda embarrassed :-[

Or you could look at this way: you have at least as much creativity as the designers at Fender.

I wouldn't say that. The pickups and tremolo are different and the toggle placement is different. :) It is a cool variation. :)

I like yours much better. It's a subtle difference, but you've kept more of the swoopy lines of the JM in tact. Great job!

I might add I'm a sucker for that colour combo on a JM...

I have two guitars with the tuners flipped over on the bottom and I would prefer your version with the tuners up top.
