Was pointed to this thread from Highnumbers' Bass VI resurrection thread and I'm just wowed by all of you guys!

So, is this Jazzmaster still living its best life with you, will?

I sold this one a while back - I'm not sure where it is these days.

I have also come over here from Highnumber's bass vi resurrection thread. This jazzmaster surgery is equally impressive. I don't think I will look at another butchered old offset the same. This project and the previously mentioned bass vi illustrate that these things can be pretty far gone and still find a second life as their first incarnations.

Incredible work here Will. The documentation was awesome and as someone else in the thread mentioned, I just binged this whole 14 pages of posts. Thanks for sharing.
