Mattsoncaster II begins

[SarnoMusicSolutions]

Just got the body. The project begins.

This is a fairly lightweight swamp ash body with a maple cap from Warmoth. Dyed top and trans-blue sides and back. 3 Super II's, MIDI, OBEL, Waldo Buffer, etc. Hopefully in a month we'll have her rolling.

Sweet, loved the first one can't wait for this one. Which one of Jerry's guitars is the wiring scheme gonna be most like?

[keirweir]

Its tie dyed!

Nice! Soloist body or Strat style? What are you doing for neck/fingerboard/frets/nut?

Suddenly I have the urge to go swimming. That's beautiful!

It's a strat body with a rear route instead of a pickguard. Neck is all maple with a vintage tint finish, abalone dot inlays. Jeff is a Strat guy. Electronically, I'll probably do my normal take on the Jerry approach. I won't be doing exactly a copy of a Jerry wiring job, but essentially the same effect, same sounds available for the most part.
