Another Jazz 5 build!

Recommended Posts

After completing my Jazz inspired Jazz 5, I have just picked up another build.

Similar spec, except Cottonwood Burl over Alder, Lollar pickups and possibly passive.

Gold Hipshot hardware, headphone amp, rosewood or wenge fingerboard. I'm looking forward to seeing the top with a hint of green stain.

The top has been glues to the alder, body shaped, and jazz pickup cavities routed. I just filled all the small voids with tinted resin.

Sanded back the orange a bit, as I wanted more burl visible. Started roughing the maple neck. The Birdseye fingerboard will have binding and blocks

I'm normally a nailed-on sucker for binding and blocks, but I'm not actually sure that needs it. The body is awesome and that board looks great as it is, imo.
