Some time ago, I received this body from GuitarForm / Deed_Poll.
The neck is a roasted maple Vintera 70s Strat neck. The headstock didn't have the pin holes for the machine heads, so I had to drill them by hand.
Good enough!
Test fitting the parts…
I hand painted the body, so it's a little bit rough.
Finished:
I also managed to ding the body before I even played the guitar
The neck is beefier than what I'm used to, but I'm liking it so far.
All in all, very happy with how it turned out!

Thanks!
It's called Capri Pink. It's a chalk paint, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, it's a bit lumpy. But I love the colour!

Re: GuitarForm Jazzmaster Thinline
How are you finding the sound? Have you played at high volume yet? Any warm feedback to report?

Re: GuitarForm Jazzmaster Thinline
Sounds great! Well balanced.
I only play at home, and don't tend to play at high volume. I may try to get it to feedback just to see how it goes
The unplugged sound is quite interesting. All those Jazzmaster overtones from behind the bridge are amplified by the cavities
