So, this is from about 13 years ago, but still I got this Jazzmaster, think about 1963 that had this done to it:





Yeah, a reverse Warmouth neck, a stop tailpiece, refinished (poorly) in red, cut pick guard, someone had a Gibson style bridge at one time and drilled out for that, and what you cannot see is that they also took an Exacto carving tool and carved random squiggles into the body. Still, it is a cool old guitar with original guts.

Sorry, but I can't find the pictures of the work, doweled in the Gibson holes, redrilled for JM style, filled the carving, repainted it green and a friend gave me a nice non-Fender neck for it. Not 100%, but it is something that when it falls off the stand, no harm no foul, harm? no foul.

Great job! Kinda liked the floral paintwork, couldn't see in the pics there was gratuitous carving though. Green is awesome. Spitfire might help you out with a piece of his material to repair the pickguard area around the bridge, he has done the same for mangled pickup routes before.

I love how yellow that tip is

Me too!

Great job! That floral paint was kind of cool.

I like the new paint over the floral, but I would have kept the maple reverse neck and painted the headstock to match. I feel matched headstock maple fretboard necks are super uncommon. Still a great save though!

Thanks everyone, the floral was actually crappy little decals on top of all the paint. It is hard to see the gouging, especially with all else that was going on. Still it was one of those "the price is so right!"
