Ladies and gentlemen, I present the 'Wilky Jazz', courtesy of Trash Guitars:

Pretty cool, huh?

I don't know much about these guys... Apparently, they take parts from all sorts of guitars and create new ones out of them.

looks nice, but i think the switches would bug me. would like to see more of their stuff, though.

That's just a Jay Turser with a new headstock.

Thats what I thought immediately too. Probably a squier strat neck.

yeah, those squier strats that came with no tuner side truss rod access.

Dudebro, that Trash Guitars guy has been spamming the MTL. classifieds with his junk for weeks now.
None of his prices are reasonable considering all of his guitars are crankensteined Squiers which he misrepresents as being assembled out of quality parts.
I called him trying to sell a "2007 MIJ Jagmaster of the more reputable Vista series" for like $550!!
I told him what he had was a Chinese piece of shit with a different headstock decal and that he was selling it at least $200 over MSRP.
Dude dropped his price by fifty bucks and probably ASSFUCKED some poor south shore teh kurdtz kid cause I never saw the add up since.

Please tell me you didn't buy this thing for $300, like he was asking.

the ad for the guitar oolu bought states that the neck is "Allpart licensed Fender Jaguar big head stock" which looks about right to me however, the Jay Turser is designed for a 25.5 scale. I don't see any modifications done to the bridge to accomodate that shortscale Jag neck.

Yeah, I've been seeing this guy's ads polluting the Montreal Craigslist for a while now. I've been amazed at how high his prices are for what he's selling... he seems to think that the value of the labour that he puts into these things somehow increases the sale value of the guitars. What a tool. I just hope that nobody buys his crap.

Yep

It's an Allparts neck intended for replacing CIJ Jaguar neck, and it's had it's sexy gloss stripped.
7.25" radius, 22 frets, jag/jazzy headstock shape (not the same as large CBS strat stock which all licensed headstockers like Warmoth, Mighty Mite, Squier use)

Gotta be 24" scale too and therefore, a mismatch for the body. So much for his labour mark-up.

You can tell the difference between CIJ/MIM Fender RIs and Allparts by the clay dots versus pearl.

From your IP address, you appear to be the actual man behind Trash Guitars rather than someone who has bought guitars from him.

I'm not condoning any negative sentiment here about your work, but I really don't think any of it could be classed as "Bigotry", so please leave the inflammatory comments at the door. Also pretending to be someone else to defend yourself on the internet is a bit wack, my mind is Open enough to see that.

Your personal affiliation with the business probably makes you the least qualified person to comment on it's validity.

Hello

He put a 24" neck on a 25.5" body with no adjustments to the bridge.

His attention detail is what REALLY makes his guitars worth the extra $200.

Nashguitars also build their instruments out of quality aftermarket parts, not Jay Turser bodies.
