SOLD - The most mighty Sophia Jazzblaster!
What's Hot
I bought this from Rich31, who bought it from Tom (jollygreengiant), and here again is Tom’s full rundown……. :
"Put together over the last year to be one of my bucket list guitars with no expense spared on spec and parts. Unfortunately, Jazzmasters are just not for me so moving it on to free up space and funds.
Was put together and set up for me by Jon at Feline including. Plays extremely well, Jon rolled the fingerboard edges, cut the nut and also gave it his famous fretwork treatment.
Body was made by Jon @ Rexter guitars and is a clone of his original 60's jazzmaster.
Its got custom enlarged pickup routes for the wide range humbuckers.
Jon also did all the finishing work - its full nitro finish in vintage correct sonic blue with matching headstock. Rear of the neck is matt finish with the rest of the guitar in gloss.
Neck is from Allparts with the following spec -
Rosewood fingerboard
21 tall frets (.079 x .051 inch) 2.07mm x 1.3mm
9.5 inch radius
25.5 inch scale
Nut width 1 and 5/8 inches
Heel width 2 and 3/16 inches
Truss rod adjustment at heel
Neck thickness .86 inch at first fret, .96 at twelfth fret.
Logo on the headstock is custom from Rothko and Frost and has my daughters name rather than "F" and "Jazzblaster rather than Jazzmaster.
- Tuners are Gotoh.
- Bridge is a Staytrem and 9.5" radius to match the neck.
- Tremolo System is a USA Fender one, same used as AVRI and 65 reissues, not the cheaper lower spec Mexican or Japanese version.
- Pick Ups are the new Fender CUNIFE Wide Range Humbuckers
- Pickguard was custom made
- Pickup Switch and Output Jack are Switchcraft.
- Pots are CTS
Will also come with a Hiscox Hardcase"
Tom put the weight at just under 8lbs, but my scales (which are accurate) put it at 7lb 7oz.
It is a beautiful creation, put together really well with quality parts”
Comments
**not enough to re-shoot them obviously**
Genuinely great offset and feather light.
Good luck with the sale

It's lovely, and I wish I wasn't at the stage where I need to reduce rather than enlarge the accumulation of guitars I have here.
