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.

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.
