The walnut/elm combination gives it a warm, resonant character with strong sustain. The Pure Vintage ’66 pickups deliver classic Jazz tones — punchy neck warmth, articulate bridge bite, and that unmistakable mid growl when blended.

 

The roasted maple neck feels smooth and stable, and the nitro finish will continue to age beautifully over time.

 

There is a small cosmetic touch-in to the finish from a minor knock during assembly, now levelled and stable. Purely cosmetic and only visible on close inspection.

 

Fully set up and ready to gig.

£850 ONO. Try before you buy absolutely a must and if you don’t love it as much as I do then not obligation to proceed with purchase.

MGCS – Built to be played. Built to last.

The finished article is literally stunning, Steve  

 

Someone had better buy this lovely piece of workmanship. For the price of a Fender Player II, you're getting a handmade custom instrument from one of our own. @Silky999 recently completed the mating of his single piece Walnut Jazz body with my Batch #1 AUROK graphite neck from @Kiwi and the results are simply stunning in terms of visuals, playability and sound.
