Bitsa Jazz Reprise...

Recommended Posts

So after the failed 'Dip' i've sanded back and gone for Natural in Danish oil. Unfortunatly there is still a little white primer in the grain... but had enough of sanding... As the saying goes 'Close Enough For Jazz...'

 

Jazz body with Kent Armstrong Hot Vintage Alnico P and J Pickups wired with a @KiOgon VBT loom... wearing Adagio flats...

So with a bit of a truss rod tweak a few hours after re-assembley all seems OK...
Only checked it out thru a Zoom B1On in SVT Amp/Cab SIM... Sounds as warm as the weather!

Maple Neck and a bit of the J added to the P makes for a bit more lively sound than the P Bitsa with a Rosewood Fretboard and a Pickup out of an SX? (thanks to @Rumple) not sure how the SX Pickup rates, or if Ceramic compare to the Alnico Magnets of the Kent Armstrongs etc...

 

Quite unique looking, and sounding good for £200ish... although I wasted 6 Months and another £50ish on Primer, Paint 'n Sanding Paper! - Oh well Live 'n Learn... Spose if the Dip came out OK it would of been worth it!
