Warmoth baritone conversion neck on a Squier CV body with a Charcoal Frost-esque nitro finish. The classic JM style pickups sound great. I use String Joy strings on this one, since those are some of the only baritone strings long enough for this vibrato. I think D'addario might be long enough, but they are too thin for my purposes.

I don't have any checking in my finishes that were done with Deft lacquer. At least, not yet.N0_Camping4U wrote: ↑Wed Jan 03, 2024 7:57 amWill this end up checking overtime?

Re: Baritone Jazzmaster Partsmaster Experiences
Hello y‘all! Happy new year & thanks for all the shares - really inspired me. My Goldie Thinline Baritone Jazzmaster Partsmaster is coming together rather nicely.
Didn’t had to do too much wood working, everything fit rather snuggly. I still had some electronics / pickups from a Squier CV JM lying around, so for now I threw those in this project. The Fender Subsonic Conversion neck looks pretty nice & well made. The nut on it was just pre-filed, so this is the challenging next task. I haven’t done that work for a baritone before, so I’m considering bringing the instrument to a luthier for this. Wouldn’t want to fuck it up at this stage.

I've had both a Subsonic neck and an EGC baritone neck on my Jazzmaster. My baritone EGC JM is my #1 guitar.
