Offset porn feed

Post by smjenkins » Sat Jun 19, 2021 4:22 pm

One of my favorite things about this place is seeing all the amazing instruments here and the amazing photos you share. I thought it would be cool to have a thread that's just beautiful pics of offsets. No other context needed.

And to start things off, here's a few from my camera roll...

Very nice! Tell me more about that LPB JM? BnB with a matching headsock? That's my kind of poison.

That Comstang photo is pretty great.

My Sound Guitar Works lipstick project JM. It has copper shielding tape under the 1 ply tort so it really pops in the light. :)

It's a 1966 I got from Ebay in 2014. It came with that amazing LPB metallic refinish -with some kind of Daphne undercoat. It had a custom made pickguard, the headstock was sanded off and it had Schaller tuners on it. Rest of it is original, it was originally sunburst. Got proper guard and tuners and had the headstock matched. Plus a refret and staytrem bridge and trem arm.
The neck is on the thin and narrow side like many late 66 - 67 offsets. Very comfortable and fast to play. Sounds awesome too.
Refin and all this is one of the best looking JMs I've seen in person and I swoon each time I pick it up. :?

Yes! We've got headstock porn, sparkle porn and one of my favorite categories, offsets in their natural habitit. I know what you're thinking, "that's the stage, right?" Wrong, it's obviously a lush green lawn.

The pickups weren’t great but it looked amazing & the neck sublime.

I have nothing to offer anybody, except my own confusion?

I'm so used to the sight of right-handed guitars that my mind just can't comprehend it's the exact same shape, only mirrored.

Thanks. That sounds like an amzing guitar. I love the darker LPB shade. Darker metallic blues are my weakness. Who did you have do the headstock matching?
