Absolutely love that finish. What's the story with that?

Is it a pzorito body btw?
If so I think I like his work.

This is a Rosser body. It was listed as aged Sherwood green, but looks Lake Placid Blue to me. Here are the specs.

Multi piece hard white ash (Lumber is kiln dried for stability)
24" scale
Jagstang/Mustang/Jaguar style neck pocket route (2 3/16" x 5/8" x 3")
Forearm and tummy contours
Universal neck and bridge pickup routes
Drilled and routed for a Jagstang/Mustang bridge and tremolo
Top control routing
Wiring holes are drilled
Aged nitro Sherwood Green
Weight: 5 lbs 7 oz

Funny thing is the cavity was NOT drilled completely. The pickup area to the control plate didn't have a hole, so I drilled one yesterday. I am also confused why builders like Rosser and MJT don't drill their bridge holes big enough. I get that they don't want them too big, but they have all been WAY smaller than needed. Like easily five or six drill bits smaller than the thimbles.

The sticker is green with black and is a pzorito one he sent me when I got the blue body from him.

I got the plate from Con-Tiki. I had to rout under the string holes. Then I panted the rout black just for cosmetics.

Down to just three projects left not complete.

Went a little crazy getting bodies in September and now I am trying to catch up..... Too many good prices... I got this for under $200......

Do you have to remove that plate everytime you change strings?

No, you put the ball end through the hole and pull it into the slot.

Nice,
the lower arm looks a bit square to me. Maybe it's just the angle.

Fender Jag-Stangs actually have pretty square roundovers.

I didn't mean the roundover. I meant the actual outline of the bottom arm. It looks heaps fatter.

Ah I got ya. I think it is the same.

It will be easier to tell when the pickguard arrives.

Here is the normal pickguard for the normal Jag-Stang. I also installed a normal Jaguar pickup under a normal black Mustang pickup cover. Totally normal.
