Jeddah J24 #0005
I love Jazzmasters. So so so much. So much that I had to build a modern metal version of one, and challenge myself to do so using hardware store hardwoods instead of properly sourced tone woods. Mistake? Too much moisture content? Honestly, no. This build worked out great and plays amazingly well to this day!
J24 = J-model, 24 frets
