Non-Reverse Firebird/Jazzmaster/??? hybrid dream guitar build

[bacca51]

That sounds sick. I think chrome covers would be awesome. Even white (somehow) would be great!

[rkharper]

yeah, how did I miss this thread?!!

I'm a total fan of Rossers Stuff, own an LP DC, a totally custom made Tele-Bird, and while I dig that one very much, I needed a beater guitar, that I can take anywhere with me, so I ordered another body from Rosser, and that's the result:



oh, and another Rosser on its way!

Yeah, and more credit where credit is due: That Fire-chicken was one of the guitars that made me decide to go with Rosser

Just a quick note to say that this guitar was a treat in the studio over the weekend. Cannot be happier.



Huge thanks to Rosser Guitars and anyone that helped out with advice etc.

Looks even better in action! I am absolutely planning on doing one of these after seeing yours come together.

I am loving it so much. It plays amazing and sounds great.

Sorry to resurrect a 4 year old thread, but this has given me some extreme GAS.

I have something like this too.

That is a beauty! I think I have my next project confirmed after going through this thread!!

I'm doing a similar project and would love a little more detail on playability! Is there much neck dive? Mine will be 25.5" scale; do you feel you have to reach for the first few frets?

Thinking of trying one of these builds. I have a strat neck, 12" radius, and might go for either a P90 pickup route, (and maybe put in mini humbuckers) or JM pickups... hmmm....

Update. This is the body I am waiting on.

Anyone know if a standard pickguard would fit the non reverse firebird body (with P90 pickup routes) or if anyone makes them? In Europe preferably, but anywhere will do.

Would love to see any in-progress pictures of this build. Also: what color paint is that?

I have 2 NRFB bodies on my Reverb store rn bc I just couldn’t bother building them out - one’s a Rosser and one’s a KNE. I love the body shape, I just can’t ever figure out a proper-looking neck for them.

I was thinking two of the Warmoth designs looked alright: mainly the Warhead, but the Mooncaster might be kind cool.
