there's a guy on offset who had some specially made before these were available. he also got white roller knobs. good god it was sexy as hell.

Oh man you guys are amberswitchtipping .

nah, but these are robroes see? =)

sorry, I guess you'll have to bear with me for little while. I just got this guitar so I'm kinda digging up a lot of jazzmaster stuff. honestly, I'm way late in the game, jazzmasters are kinda played out at this point. I don't think they carry that much cool points anymore. doesn't bother me too much though, I've always liked them and they're exactly the sound I've always wanted.

I remember wondering about these a few years ago and photoshopping some images. I noticed these the other day when browsing the list of places to buy parts at Offset and I have a project in mind for them. I might get my photoshopping hat on and see what I can come up with.

I mean I have a project in mind that they would suit.

Meh, stock covers look better IMO. The only no holes covers that look cool are on mustangs etc.

My assessment is Jazzroes would be 100% megasexy on pastel colors, especially surf green and shell pink.

I was curious as to what they'd actually look like on a full guitar, so I did a quick GIMPing of what a nice-looking Jazzmaster would look like with these on. I thought I'd like it, but I am not sure I do. Maybe a different color combo or cream switches would do the trick.

It looks stupid as intended. The only use I could find for these is sticking a non-jazzmaster pickup under one of these blanks. For that they might be useful, good link.

Aye, these would have been useful when i had a Duncan bucker in my Jazzy. Imo these kind of covers looked best on the Fender Performer due to the off square shape and they complimented the almost sci-fi aesthetics of the guitar.

it doesn't look that good in cream. it's all about the whiteout look. I think it looks super clean.

it's also a similar idea to the white humbucker covers robroe puts on all his guitars.
