PaulThePlug Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) Just got these pre-delivery pics from Luthiers Warehouse... Jazz Body, with a twist!.. (or P Body with a Squash!..) Rear Route, PJ, Slanty Pickups... So a bit Reggie Hamilton, bit Aerodyne, bit Black Top, bit Jazz Special PJ535... Seed was planted when @Duarte posted a pic of a PJ535 in need of a fix in his Vintage P Makeover thread... so it's all his fault! Body to join the Maple 'n Blocks Neck... And Odds 'n Sods from the 'Dark Materials' thread... What do you recon? I was happy with my Rear Route P body so went for a bit more of a 'One-Off'... took a week or so longer than expected, but they are real helpful. So if ya just want a normal-ish body or have 'Special Needs' like me drop Luthiers Warehouse a line! https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/luthiers-warehouse Edited October 26, 2021 by PaulThePlug 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 What, no 'scalloped nut' and machine heads that get lighter towards the end of the headstock? You clearly have not been following the current luthier trends....😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted October 25, 2021 Author Share Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) I've got a sharpie on order... and a set of hole saws as i'm considering 'Swiss-Cheese-Lightening' (...and that term has been trademark / registered) the body, neck... between the frets without the the blocks that you don't really use...) and some little holes in the headstock... Gonna call it Leerdammer... NOT! Edited October 25, 2021 by PaulThePlug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 More of a slant than a twist! That’s going to look great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
