Looks mega. What do all them nozzles do?

Looks mega. What do all them nozzles do?

All the twizzly ones are for volume - the one closest to the neck is a master and the other two are minions. The clicky one nearest the neck is a 3 way pickup selector and the other is a 3 way tone toggle. Works really well for quickly selecting a syrupy fuzz-tone when venturing up the forbidden end of the neck, then snapping back to full-treble for fuzz Armaggedon on the low end.

Thanks for the heads up, cleared my inbox, no new messages received yet....

 

the jazz guitar is in a sorry state to be honest, it never came with a bridge so trying to determine whether the rest of the guitar is ok is difficult.

 

would be good if someone had the time and skills to get this thing in working order.

Some new bits and pieces.  Been buying parts for a Strat build over the last year, and just finished it last week.  Jan and Matt (neepheid) were kind enough to put it together for me, I was too scared!! Matt's reet guid with a dremel though (neck pocket was a little tight), plays beautifully and I think looks great.  MJT custom finished swamp-ash body in surf green, nitrocellulose finish and nice and lightweight.  Japanese Squier neck; this was on my old Strat and I was keen to keep it.  Blue, silver and red Lace Sensor pick ups.

 

 

 

 

And treated myself to a Kurt Cobain Mustang with my work bonus.  Really delighted with the build quality (made in Japan) and love the stripe.  The bucker is probably going to have to go, as it's not really my thing, looking to get another single coil, or perhaps a P90.  Neck plate has a Fender doodle found in one of Kurt's journals.

where did you source the neck from?

 

I've always been keen to build a partscaster but always worried it would have the feel of a westfield strat.

 

did it take lots of tweaking to suit your playing style of did it play spot on straight away?

 

I'd bee keen to ad some chunky switches where your tone pots would be for some phunky phase switching

The neck was on the last partscaster I played which was composed of a Fender Japan body and a Squier Japan neck.  Jan preferred the Fender neck but liked the body on the Squier, and I preferred the exact opposite, so we switched the body and neck.  I kept the neck for this build, as I really liked it.  You get what you pay for really. The body was expensive and took a long time to be finished, but was definitely worth it.  I got the trem for my birthday this year, it's Fender.  The action took a bit of adjusting, but that was about it.  It plays much the same as my last guitar as I've kept the neck, but I'm much happier with the body which is a lot lighter and I love the finish.  Because it's the same neck, it's basically like having a new old guitar, so it suited my playing style right away.  I guess it'll only play like a Westfield if you put a Westfield neck on it, or use cheaper parts.

The body on the strat looks bloody lovely! I'm a sucker for surf green strats. Out of intrest how was the process with MJT? The end result looks incredible but import tax, dealing with people on the other side of the world and not being to actually see it before you get it kinda puts me off using them.

 

I've caught mod fever again. I think I'm going to spend a lot of time in my shed this summer...

I couldn't recommend MJT highly enough, they also made Jan's Jazzmaster kit. 

 

They're a small family-run business and it does take a while, but both Matt and Mark Jenny were great to deal with.  They're transparent with figures right from the start, including postage,  use really good quality parts and they finish to a high standard.   There's a lot of examples of previous work on their website, but they'll consider most requests.  They're really thorough when it comes to details such as neck size and cut, what sort of bridge you'll be using etc to make sure that the body's correctly routed and drilled (the neck pocket on mine did fit, but it was pretty tight and I was a little scared of it, so called in others for help!).  There's a huge list of options, aging and relicing aren't for everyone so they have closet clean finishes too.  You choose where you want any aging, the grade of aging the sort of finish you want, the colour and wood.  They do necks too.  I didn't need one on this occasion because I already had one I really liked, but Jan got one and it's every bit as good as the neck on any of his Fenders. 

 

They stayed in touch all the way through the process and emailed pictures as they went along so I could see how it was coming together and so I could let them know about any changes I wanted made.  When I was happy with it they mailed it.

Thanks for the reply, guess my bank balance is going to take a bit of a hit in the next wee while. Their necks are actually quite reasonable considering they are custom made and come with aged hardware. The MJT website should have really been marked NSFW though as I've wasted a good hour drooling over guitars!

Cool guitar, I did delete some messages but obviously not enough, you can email me at dustyvalentino at the mail that is hot.
