Not a good quality pic, but stumbled upon this photo from last year while looking for something else. I play the black one the most.

Wow, what‘s the color of that middle one? The black one is beautiful too - but that Tort and Blueish combo...wow!

Edit: Johnny, your 65 is damn beautiful too! It pops up everywhere I am... 😜

I'm not that great at taking pictures so if I get a half decent one I just post it on all my socials at the same time 😂

Although, I should really leave those damn FB groups... 95% of the members are utter idiots which is infuriating.

It's refinish I did a while ago on a J Mascis Squire JM, Duplicolor car lacquer, there's a detailed thread here somewhere. It's a crazy color in terms of it appearing from almost indigo blue to a light blue-gray, depending on the lighting. Still one of my favorites to play.

None of these photos are edited or color corrected.

I think there needs to be a guitars and cats thread. There are plenty of threads of photos of lovely guitars and there's the cat thread in the misc section, but no dedicated thread for both. Those cat+guitar photos pop up quite regularly in various threads, and they make me smile more than anything else on here.

Looks great! Maple neck really works with that

(Slightly distracted by the weird pickup heights though... that can’t sound right)

I try to balance the volume of both pickups and I usually find I need to have the bridge pickup significantly higher than the neck one. I also tend to skew the neck pickup to get more of the treble strings and the bridge pickup to get more of the bass strings. I'm not sure if this is weird or wrong for some reason, I'm just trying to get the right sound from each pickup position.

No worries! That sounds right. In my experience, bridge pickups should always be higher on JMs for the pole pieces to be equal distance from the strings as the neck pickup (because of the bridge). All my pickups are skewed to some extent (higher on the treble side). What strikes me as odd in your case is that the neck pickup looks extremely skewed (very low on the bass side), while the bridge pickup is flat. From the looks of it, I’d guess you’re not too happy with the pickups, and you might be happier with a less bright bridge pickup and a brighter neck pickup.

In the end it’s all a matter of taste though, and whatever sounds best to you is all that matters.

Here's my collection from the beginning of this year. After I got Novo, I have gotten down to only Novo and Jazzmaster/strat hybrid in the middle and I can cover so much ground with these two.

During the year I had BilT also, but I let that one go fund Ruokangas VSOP (their strat style guitar).
