Jazz-O-Caster 2 build

[tubenit]

Beautiful!   

[EL34]

Thanks Jeff


It plays like butter

I just did a green screen video with some nice surfing girls and my Jazz-O-Caster
Here's the video

[tubenit]

Great playing and great tune!

How in the world did you do a "green screen video"?   That's remarkably technology whatever you used?

Jeff

[EL34]

Thanks Jeff

You stand in front of a well lit bright green screen
The software removes all of that color and only leaves you in the movie
Then you add another video as the background and the software puts you in front of that video


I have some more tunes I want to update and so I will be goofing around with this some morte

Seeing the guitar you just built gives me great inspiration to get mine done. Wish I had the tools you have. I just can not decide on which color or finish yet. GREAT BUILD buy the way. As they say, better to have it finished than to sit and think about it.

Yes, the CNC machine made it all possible to install Jazzmaster pickups in a strat body

I suppose it could be done with a router and a template, but I have never done it that way

And then Slaughter on 10th avenue on the Jazz-O-Caster

[tubenit]

That's a VERY cool tune!  Loved it!  THANKS for sharing your talent.  Fun stuff.

Fantastic!  I love the sound of it, just right for that type of pickin'.  Nice playing too, Doug!

FWIW, I just finished my latest build with this:

Super easy to use, it flows out really flat, and it burns into itself on each subsequent coat, so no "witness lines" when level sanding and polishing.  Water cleanup.  I literally could spray a coat, let it hang for two hours and could bring it right into the house, no nitro-nasty-chemical-stink!

I used a wipe on poly
very thin, you can still see the grain on my Jazz-O-Caster

One note about the JazzO
It did not sound very good right after I assembled it
The poly was sucking tone out of the body
As soon as the poly hardened and cured really well, the guitar came alive

[Ritchie200]

Soooooo...... what you are saying is that the poly on all Tele's has never hardened and cured?

Jazz-O-Caster #2 has been played a bunch since it was finished
But now I have a new project on the way
