How long did it take for Fender to make this for you?

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.

and cost $1800

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