NGD: Ugly Duckling Partsmaster
Finally finished after nearly two years accruing parts, procrastinating and putting off doing the wiring
I love how it sounds and plays. It trashes the CIJ Jazzmaster I used to own. Questions?

Love. It.
Which pickups are in there? Is that an MJT body?
Love the decoboom guard.

Re: NGD: Ugly Duckling Partsmaster
Thanks Chipper, thanks Shadow, Yeah I had some starcaster knobs left over from when I tracked them down for my 2013 re-issue and spent hours upon hours scouring the web for brass roller knobs only for them to pop up on eBay a few weeks ago.
Decoboom's stuff is fantastic. I went for a budget option but I still think it adds so much. Really happy with the investment.
mbene, As far as I remember the body is from Musikraft along with the neck and pickups are for sure Jesse Loureiro's surf jazzmaster pair. They sound really really nice.

Re: NGD: Ugly Duckling Partsmaster
I like this a lot! It can be a cousin to my partsmaster. Mine's aged white, lighter relic, and with a decoboom guard. I know that with long term projects it never feels like it's a NGD, but looks like it would be appropriate to send and HNGD your way.

Sometimes it feels like too much black. I've been considering a neck with a maple fretboard. That would mean saying goodbye to the strat shape headstock which does bug me...but I'm really into the feel of this neck.

Re: NGD: Ugly Duckling Partsmaster
Not a relic guy but everything else is excellent!
I'm doing similar knobs on mine, and now I need to look up that guard...
