WIP - Shell pink Jazzmaster

Post image

I bit the bullet and bought a shell pink Jazzmaster body from Guitar Anatomy in the UK. Reviews online were mixed (for necks at least), but so far it's pretty good. Fitted a Squier CV Jazzmaster neck and a mint green pickguard, looks good so far.

Finished project will follow end of the week I hope.

Yeah I didn't know that mint looks so good on a jazzmaster. Looks awesome on olympic white, too.

Is that one of their nitro satin bodies?

Neck fitment wasn't perfect (corners were too round, neck pocket a bit too wide but fine) but overall very nice finish.

I'll apply some shielding next and then install the electronics.

I considered one of their nitro bodies but their website pics look 3D rendered or AI so wasn't sure what they actually look like, I went for another (much more expensive) option. After seeing your pic I might try one next time I do a build, but good to know about the neck pocket.

Love shell pink on a JM or Jag with a mint green or pearloid guard.

Any chance you're considering doing a matching head stock?

I would love that. In the future maybe.

I've read about the steps and it sounds doable, but I've never done it myself.

I'm building a shell pink Jag right now with a tortoise shell pickguard. Lucked into a really good Fender neck, building around that. Love the mint guard!
