I've been kinda thinking of doing a jazzmaster in natural finish and a black headstock, and this thread is certainly helping that cause

Mismatched, but the pickguard brings it together:

Thanks for sharing this here Doug! I just saw that on the gram today as well.

And I always take the opportunity to post this pic of my Jazzmaster Jr. whenever context is appropriate.

^ ^ I remember this one. Amazing!! ^ ^

It's not often that a fusion of two completely different guitars works so well.

Would like to see maple neck examples, a much harder proposition than rosewood fretboards.

I like a black headstock and pickguard. It's a good look.

Thanks Doug. It's a guitar that only exists because this forum created the idea: http://www.offsetguitars.com/forums/vie ... 9&start=15

most of them already found their way into this thread as well - but I asked for (non matching) black headstocks on offset guitars a while back here: http://www.offsetguitars.com/forums/vie ... 8&t=107550

I never pass up a chance to post this. I've thought about adding a headstock decal but prefer it plain black.
Did you cut that body by yourself?? Love the John Squire model and wide ranges! However you're really "using" the JM tremolo :-)

No. I worked with a fellow forumite here on the body shape & specifics & he knocked it out of the park! I love John Squire's guitar but I had to have a working JM trem.
