AWESOME.
That, sir, is one of the most beautiful guitars I've ever seen; I salute your exquisite taste.

anything can be done. Literally. I wanted to keep costs down so I got mostly stock and will upgrade and mod things myself.

i've never owned a fender this resonate. the customshop really gets the finest slabs of wood.

Also, gotta pimp www.lauzonmusic.com where i bought it. The new website will be online soon and be totally not sucky like this one is.

Fantastic.
They will make them for anyone. Team or master built. Originally i wanted it with a tune-o-matic, block inlays and bound like a '66 but that would make it master built so i just went with a team.

Yeah, they do Jaguars and Jazzmasters. Bass VI as well. They will do mustangs and cyclones but i think they HAVE to be master built [meaning built by a single guy]. They cost a lot.
Wait... they do team built bass VI's but the mustangs have to be master built? Surely there are more mustang players than bass VI players? And wouldn't a mustang use the same neck templates as a Jaguar? The neck is pretty much the most labour intensive part to make... Fender is weird.

BTW, that's one gorgeous Jazzmaster.

Can I ask how much monies it cost, or would I be being rude?

This. I played the Blue one, and aside from the fake Wide Range hums, one pot and a pg that should be on a First Act from Walmart, the one I played had a faulty switch and was overall just shitty.

The '59 that i took the money I had down on the team built and bought instead. Not as much of a looker as the teambuilt but plays and sounds better.

Sometimes, just sometimes, there are things that make me think it would be worth being an American. I'd miss the cheese though.
