when i was at school, and discussing with my mates about guitars, i was always saying i wanted a jazzmaster or a flying v. in the interim years i actually learnt to play guitar and went with the flying v. but still thought the jazzmaster was really cool! heres my interpretation of a jazzmaster - how it would look if it were adopted by 80s metal musicians. obviously when i was at school grunge music attracted me to the jazzmaster, i rarely listen to that stuff now, but i do listen to surf a lot more.
the sustain is remarkably good, despite that its a somewhat heavy guitar.
my top tip for building warmoths is to countersink all the holes! the paint splinters really easily. unfortunately i realised this a little too late.
i also used a center punch to drive in the ferrules. this worked excellent. again unfortunately i sneezed massively as i was doing the last ferrule, and missed the punch with my hammer, very slightly damaging the body. mate was i annoyed!
i might build another one of these one day, with piledrivers.
