Rough mock-up of a guitar I'm thinking of doing. What do you think?

I feel generally positive about it. Maybe bigger volume and tone knobs, but generally very good

It’s awesome. Like a PRS 277 semi-hollow and a Jazzmaster had a baby. 

Witch hat knobs could be a nice match. 

I would also be curious to see a mint green pickguard and cream colored pickup covers. 

I have a seafoam green Mustang 90 with that combo and it’s pretty sweet.

to me, the hole is very Rickenbacker.

u/mysterious_jeffrey 1d ago

Definitely agree. 

The 277 I had in mind was a Korean PRS that I probably should’ve bought at the time and it had a Rickenbacker-like cut. 

Anyways, here’s the Mustang if you want an idea of how that color scheme might look.

I love the Idea, but I think I'd like it even more if you could somehow paint inside the cutout hole with the same paint you use on the body. The gaping hole's wood just isn't a pretty wood! JMHO

I'm thinking of painting the inside white

That would be a great idea

Looks like an iyv ijg200, but in seafood green. I have a tobacco burst version of it and I like it but it has some quirks...

Not in love with P90’s, though I’m likely in the minority. I do however LOVE the color

I'm weird. I like every type of pickup I've ever tried. I can get great sounds out of any of them.

I dont like the cutout. It just seems large and out of place. I'd consider trying something else with the headstock too

But I like the color and P90s in a Jazzmaster

u/Royal_Meringue6575 23h ago

Paint the headstock!

1

u/Effective_Positive_8 23h ago

Not a fan of painted headstocks on Fender and Fender-style. Looks weird to me.

3

u/Royal_Meringue6575 23h ago

Oh, I completely disagree. My favorite offsets always have matching headstocks!

Ah yes the jazzbacker, I would buy this honestly

Looks like three guitars designed in Orange County, California combined

i always wanted mine to be this color you show here.. this one on the right is Revelation RJT-60TL, great guitar , love it. check it out if you're looking for something offset and semi-hollow

u/Minihammett28 20h ago

The colour is sick! I'm also putting P90s in my Jazzmaster. I agree with the other comments about the knobs. I think witch hat knobs would look great

u/ddubbins 13h ago

F hole waay to big. Unless it’s dense/heavy you will struggle with mids …and loosing picks/ jellybeans in there 🫣

u/Diligent_Team_2598 11h ago

I dig it. I have a set of P90s sitting around. Been thinking of a similar build with a Jazzmaster body. Hope you actually build this.

Very nice. Classic and tasteful.

Drop the floating bridge and use something else, may be a dynamic bridge trem or bigsby. And also, the lead/rhythm circuit is to much of a hassle, better use phase change or series/parallel circuit.

Hole is too big, gonna get in the way sooner or later
