Same here, on D and G strings... :lol:
Ooops :oops:
Luckily mine is alot less bad than yours Fernando.. But still its annoying on a pristine new guitar! Hopefully with the years, it will no longer be noticable

So did you both use the vintage-style ferrules without a "lip" on the top edge?  I prefer the modern ones - to cover the mess.
The problem was we hadn't the ideal bit, the warmoth was drilled for the modern ones... so had to go with dreamel... I got nervous and in the first hammered the body got a mark :lol:
Going with the moderns in the future and buying the right bit...

Interesting guitar. I wasn't quite sure at first but after a while of looking I think it looks pretty cool. I love the colour.

So far I'm very happy - its a really nice guitar to play, when standing the jazzmaster body hangs really comfortably compared to a strat. Using quality components has really paid off with the tone and sustain.

edit:
its funny, i just pieced this together for parts, compared to making it from a piece of wood, but it still feels much more 'mine' than all my other guitars. i've got that instant bond with it.

I like this guitar a lot, very very cool.  Jazzsquiring it, in whatever form, makes for a great guitar.  Just out of curiosity, is yours a weighty beast?
