Clarky72 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Which of these three do you prefer? Ignore the fact that one is a Squier and one is a Marcus Miller, I'm just asking about the fingerboard/blocks options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myke Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Either top or bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Black blocks ..... although the neck gap leaves a lot to be desired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowieBass Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Middle one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntLockyer Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Middle or bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lw. Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Bottom one looks good - I don't think I've seen too many maple+white block necks about so makes a nice change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Top one for me every time, always tend to go for rosewood on a jazz and the contrast of the pearloid inlays sets it off perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamfist Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Maple board, black blocks. Classic ! I'd prefer no neck binding or white binding though, if there's a choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkG3 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Middle with black scratchplate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UglyDog Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 [list=1] [*]Bottom [*]Middle (but ideally without black binding) [*]Top [/list] If the body & headstock were Lake Placid or CAR, then it'd be top all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Top one actually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky72 Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 I'm edging more towards the top one myself. The middle one is too similar to the stock Fender reissue... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRBboy Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Bottom one, but with a white pearloid scratchplate. EDIT: And another string! Edited February 27, 2014 by TRBboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon. Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) [quote name='TRBboy' timestamp='1393504809' post='2381085'] Bottom one, but with a white pearloid scratchplate.[/quote] This! IMO, with a natural finish, it has to be maple & pearl blocks all the way. Anything coloured, and it has to be rosewood and pearl blocks. Except possibly in the case of all black or all white, which can go either way. Binding essential, too. Edited February 27, 2014 by Simon.

grayn Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 All 3 look cool but with that body, I'd choose the last one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I think my answer is mainly because I had a CIJ 75 reissue with an unusual rosewood + white MOP board. I regret selling it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
