Killstarz Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Soooo, look what just rocked up! Maruszcyzk Elwood white rabbit and gotta say, first impressions this thing looks and feels like a piece of art! Really hard to get a good photo of it under the lights at work: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

synthaside Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) I was lusting after one of these VERY hard , can you describe the neck for me , how does it compare to say a standard Jazz I tend to use a 38 mm 70's profile fender type jazz he describes these as 40mm , i worry because I dont get on with the 42mm P type necks ... Plus are you planning on swapping the knobs to standard J ones ? Edited July 25, 2016 by synthaside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]ive never played a 70s Jazz, but the neck on the Elwood feels very similar in terms of profile to the other jazz's I've owned, with the exception of the Geddy Lee I had. I didn't get on with that neck at all. I will be swapping out the knobs I think. Finish off the vintage look a treat. I stuck it through my amp for half an hour and it's got a lovely tone to it, especially as I've strung it with flats. Gonna let it sit for an hour or 2 so it can settle as the action was super low. Might need a little tweak but we'll see. First impressions; might buy a 2nd one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like another 33" scale, passive Elwood L, but fretted and with Delano J p/ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Welcome to my world :-) This is beautiful.. I LOVE that finish. And I agree about the knobs - it's the only thing about the Elwoods I'm not keen on.

MoonBassAlpha Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Is that a nitro finish? It looks lovely and thin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]I believe it is a poly finish. I'd have LOVED it to have been nitro so it would naturally relic but to be honest, I love the finish as is.. Been playing this for the best part of a week now and every time I pick it up it's a treat to play. I love absolutely everything about it from the build quality, to the look, to the unbelievably good tone. One happy camper right here.
