I reckon the Mockingbird is already too pointy for me...

Yeah, that warmoth isn't nearly as jazzmaster shaped as I would want it to be.

Not to hijack this thread, but if I had the stones to build my own, it would be a back-loaded USA Custom KORINA jazzmaster body with standard jazzmaster pickups and  hardware except no rythm circuit, just a three way toggle.  A front loaded with a white or black pickguard like an explorer would be a solid second choice. Man, I've dreamed about that guitar with a semi-gloss natural finish.  Can't solder, and can't trust myself to not F-it up as I'm not particularly handy.  It would be a thing of beauty though... :?
May God bless the Banjo Players... They try so hard...

. . . very true, but then again, i do not think Warmoth tried to make a Jazzmaster on Steriods  :D ;D


Also, i did mention that i would like to use it for a bit more Extreme type of genre(s) - Sludge/Grunge/Stoner/Doom !

Not the best shape for BB King Blues or Pat Menthy (sp?) style jazz  :P
