This
is an ash JM body I found on ebay, for I think $75.00. The guy had already
done this blue, which is actually pretty nice color wise, but not what
I want it to be. It's pretty
accurate, spec wise, to the Custom Shop Pinup
JM I already have. Big difference
between the two is this one will have a standard JM trem and be baby blue,
actually called Daphne blue, when finished. That's the color of this background. |

This
is a tortoise shell pickguard. I've got another in mint green. 62 JMs
were originally offered in both. This pickguard is more red, but I think
the contrast between red and blue will be nice. Pics of the mint pg to
follow later on. |

The guy I bought this body from attempted
to finish it with the blue stain over the ash you see in the picture. His
sanding left much to be desired. I think he sanded with rocks. There
are a ton of scratches, some fairly deep. So, this baby get's stripped
as far as needed, sanded, grain filled, and then white primer before
I finish it with daphne blue and clear. More pics to follow. |
