Electric XII project

[Jazzprod]

Daydreamdelay,
It's sure's coming out nicely 
Good job! 

[daydreamdelay]

thanks Jazzprod.. it's going to be someone else project now though, I've bit off more than I can chew and realized I'm not in the financial position to take this on right now. aside from not having the money right now for supplies I haven't had a proper amp in several months and it doesn't look like I will until at least next year if I don't sell something.. plus I've got a few commitments that need to be tide up so as frustrating it is to loose two of these in a few weeks time I think it makes sense to move this along and get my set up situated. I appreciate everyones thoughts and advice.. hopefully it'll stay in the family and we can still watch it get a nice coat of paint

I thought I'd kickstart the thread again...you see, I bought Justin's XII a few weeks back.

the transaction was super-smooth and everything was packaged extremely well.

yesterday I shot the primer on the XII...it's now hanging at my uncle's garage....

here's a few pics....










it'll look stunning in black.....I will most likely put a white guard on it soon though...the original red guard looks....ummm...."unimpressive", I guess is the word

[i love sharin foo]

I can't wait to see it al lfinished! It wil ldefinitely look great next to the black '61 .

Very cool Z!
If you all dont mind here is mine...  after going back through this thread I am thinking I should have done it IBM.
This is a Unrouted JM/Jag body from AllParts.  I did it in Teal Green.

thanks guys!

my god, Curtis...that paintjob looks fantastic!!! 

XIIs rule!

Do those screws thread into the body when you use that metal thing to hold it? I always screw from the other side into the wood but I think your way is better (actually, I know it is!)

Looks good as well. The top horn is more like a Jag than a Jazzmaster which is XII correct I believe.

small update...I shot the Black today...body + headstock....I took a couple of pics, but they came out crap...

it's looking great though....looking forward to having it all assembled again!

[mynameisjonas]

come on yannis, post the pics anyway

[zhivago]

hehe...I deleted them in rage!

I'm going back to my aunt's in 2-3 hours, and I'll take some piccies for you guys then

[zhivago]

ok...I had to go to rehearsal...got back a while ago....here are the pics I took...the headstock looks great....the body wasn't looking as good...I sanded some bits, and then sprayed some more black ontop...

these are pics I took before shooting a bit more...it was very cloudy, so they aren't very nice pics...but what can we do?














so yeah, still working on it

[zhivago]

one more pic I forgot....

[glimmertwin]

Mmmmmm - me likes....

[spiffy chap]

That is going to be really nice when you are finished.

[zhivago]

thanks guys...I wish the pics were better...it doesn't look "that" bad in person...

after I shot a couple more coats it shaped up nicely...I was kinda relieved!

...gonna go check it out in an hour or so....it's been drying at my aunt's shed

it's cloudy agan today...but I'll try to take another pic
