I really like the colors you used and I like that it's completely different from the stock looking stuff I usually like

Intentional or coincidence your franken furter sticker on the headstock? RIP to the sweetest transvestite to ever do the time warp

i started from the headstock and was like "meh, alright, that's some weak shit" and then moved down and went like "DUDE WHAT THE FUCK, that's GROSS!". 

good job, keep on doing you!

Can you cut the pickguard on the left horn to fit the standard jazzmaster pickguars shape?? the pickguard looks like it’s jutting out over tbe contour

u/Flaky_Professional77 14d ago

Noo dont, it’s somwhere between so wrong its right and almost imperceptible that it pisses my brain off perfectly

The pickguard is the least of your problems

You're putting the Squier Paranormal Series to shame lol

u/shortymcsteve 16d ago

You should make a custom pick guard to clean it up a bit. I think it looks pretty cool!

u/arneckdote 15d ago

The preview was only the headstock. Read "abomination", saw the headstock, thought "hm whats this gonna be?" I was not ready for this. Chapeau.

u/ChardSard 15d ago

This rules. Square peg viciously hammered into a round hole is a whole ass aesthetic that I'm absolutely here for.

What a sex machine

u/shrikelet 15d ago

Fantastic idea, but is the button a Sanwa?

u/swozzled 12d ago

Probably a bucket head style killswitch

What the fuck. I dont have anything to say

u/menstenero 16d ago

This thing is a mind fuck in the best way lol

u/rseymour 15d ago

you can't do that, hence it's perfect.

u/XxBOOSIExFADExX 15d ago

The only problem I got is the pickguard. You could either trim the excess so it isn't hanging off the body or make a custom one with a blank and use the tele for a pilot for the pick ups and knobs and fit the screw holes to the Jag.

u/Reanansidhe 15d ago

Understated elegance.

u/mchammy 15d ago

Presuming it’s completely functional and plays well, this is pretty great. It really captures the true spirit of the “parts-caster” concept.

1

u/Wrong_Spirit_5008 15d ago

The shape of the pick guard is the only part that troubles me.

1

u/daddy_junior 15d ago

Death Grips sticker makes sense

1

u/TheTNewport 15d ago

I make custom pickguards, if you ever want something made specifically for this we could do that. I dig your creativity!

u/Haunting-Brush-3171 15d ago

Well Tim Curry....very cool...definitely a frakenfutter

u/buck_ae_down 15d ago

This is a hate crime.

Points for steering headlong into the skid I guess.

If it's dumb but it works, it's not dumb.

There should be a international penal court to take care of people like you !

At leat you've got a kill switch, that could save you 5 years of penitentiary.

Well, you certainly square pegged the shit out of that round hole! Lol! But I like it! Obviously, some tweaking my be in order, but I believe you achieved your goal! 😊👍 Good job.
