Baritone Jazzmaster Project (any suggestions?)

karmablock · Post by **karmablock** » Tue Nov 06, 2012 2:32 pm

So I've been itching for a project lately and I thought I'd take on my first guitar. I already have the body now I'm looking for a neck.
I know warmoth has both finished and unfinished but has anyone ever heard of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/160914243516?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649?

I'd been looking at those when I made my baritone Jazzmaster. I ended up going with an unfinished Warmoth neck because I could choose the frets that went in, and I bought tuners while placing my order as well.

Those necks on Ebay look pretty decent though, and its nice that they already have a thin coat of finish on them. I really did enjoy oiling my neck, however, it was a great intro experience to luthiering.

I think I'm going to go with Warmoth neck.

Anyone have tips on painting?
What's the best place to get parts?

Oy!
I've got one - finished, I'd sell you for $150.

Got the neck from Aen. Making a list parts now.

This is what I hope the end result will be.

Sweet! Where did you end up getting the body from?

I believe the same guy you got yours from. Alpine Oregon, I think.

I change the pickguard I am going to put on it. Here is what I hope it looks like when it is finished.

I have everything I need except for the paint and mastery. But I after I received the pickgaurd and trem I found out the routes are off.

I marked out in pencil needs to be routed away but I don't have a router at the moment.

Looks pretty close, shouldn't be too hard for you. Excited to see it start to come together!

Finally got everything sorted out.

But it was a bit of a hack job. :facepalm:

starting to look pretty damn awesome

and i wouldn't worry about the routing - that's why we have pickguards!

for the record, those dc kunkle necks on ebay are great. I built a baritone tele a bit ago, and was super pleased with the neck I got form him off ebay.
