SOLD: GSP Jazzmaster kit

PVO_Dave

Had planned to make this a Surfmaster JM, but since completing the walnut/maple Tele, GAS (for guitars, now want a Stingray bass!) has temporarily left me 

Grahams kits are amazing quality as you'll know, I've fitted Kluson tuners (not pushed the bushings in), fitted a scratch plate (two supplied - parchment + mint green), fitted a Jap Fender bridge (no picture to hand), also have a mustang bridge and thimbles. 

£240 all in delivered? (That's me making a loss).

What type of wood is the body made of?

Can't quite believe this is still sat here - I've got the other one GSP sold at the time and it is a beautiful thing - the necks on his guitars are custom shop level and then some. Trying desperately to work out why I need, err, three

@Electro_Ham - it is Swamp ash

Looks beautiful. What's the neck profile like? 

PVO_Dave

@Electro_Ham exactly as the Jooky one said, swamp ash

@step_hent I'd say C type profile, but then I'm rubbish with neck profiles! @JookyChap any comment on what you think the profile is best described as? I've asked @GSPBASSES too, as I've had a couple of PM's asking the same

JookyChap

I'd say it is a C shape too, but without trying to confuse things more of a vintage C than a modern one (i.e. not as shallow as a lot of the recent ones). It reminds more more of the '68 Jazzmaster I had than the MIJ '62 for instance.

I'm hopeless at describing them too, tbh

At the risk of coming on like an evangelical stuck record I would have to agree.
Grahams necks are stunning, I've not really played anything else since I put my White Strat together with a neck & body from Graham (actually to be fair an honourable mention should go to my JXG DC Jr but that really is exalted company right ?) because I love the feel of the neck soo much. So to remedy that I've had a Tele neck off of him too !

@JookyChap fancy finishing it in something nice for me?

I would happily, but I'm likely to be moving in the very near future so I'm not sure how quick it would happen to be totally honest. Are you thinking some nice vertical blue and white stripes?

Lol don't panic I was only half serious in any case, though which half I'm not sure. It sure looks lovely though doesn't it, especially in the aforementioned striped livery of course.

Good luck with the sale OP I'm sure it'll be snapped up soon

I have absolutely no knowledge on how to finish it to make it playable, otherwise I would have snapped it up. Probably the same for others.

That's exactly it for me, my last diy effort was much more effort than will ever be worth it sadly. For someone with the skills this would be amazing

PVO_Dave

Think I'm giving it until tomorrow night, otherwise I'm keeping it and getting it painted blue + silver flake surfburst by Rich  

Travisthedog

Exactly 

buy it send to to rich - pay him and away you go
