Nice! Love b&b maple fretboards.
I would've gone matching headstock tho'.. 8)

Here's a few more shots:

I skipped a few vintage correct details like the last fret marker and the headstock shape, but I dig how it turned out. It plays extremely well, and the giant neck is refreshing on a Jazzmaster. These Peter Leonard pickups really kick ass. Now I just need to find a proper toggle switch nut, and probably do another setup once the guitar settles in a bit more.

I don't love matching headstocks on maple neck Jazzmasters, otherwise I would've done one!

Not even the new pictures? Old ones are dead because of photo buckets greed! Might switch out a Mastery Vibrato for the vintage unit. Not sure though.

Now I can see it, and it is amazing - especially the neck!
