Well, I posted this to OffsetGuitars, so might as well get some opinions from here as well. Might be good to hear from two fairly different communities:
So, with the use of Warmoth's lovely little body builder and a little amateur photoshopping, I've managed to do a few mockups of what the guitar I'm looking to build may look like. I've narrowed it down to four possible options and I've been asking people I know for their opinions on them, so I figure I'll go ahead and ask around here too. What I'm going for is something that looks like this little emerald I stumbled upon years ago: (The image is rather large, so I'll just link it)
This first image is my attempt at that... (and yes, I'm well aware that the headstock is clearly a 70's Strat- CLOSE ENOUGH! I did say I was an amateur...) but I wasn't sure if that translated well to a Jazzmaster shape, so I did two more:
This one with black pickup covers- easy enough to change once the guitar is finished... but as much as I love maple fretboards, they aren't exactly the traditional choice for the Jazzmaster...
...which led to this...
...and this.
So, if you could cast a vote up top and, if you feel like it, share your opinions in a reply, I'd appreciate the feedback.
Cheers!
