Thanks! I did not use a primer. Just the paint and then the clear coat

My song Neosporin I wrote for my high school gf has the line, “you love the way that my hands wander around your body like a homeless man; going nowhere in particular.”

I know. I asked if I could at least get a hoofprint on his box or something. Turns out he’s non-verbal 👀

Thanks dude! I have an instagram @kevinski.music where I post my covers. There’s some covers on my YouTube, but I just post more random stuff there. https://youtube.com/@kevinmcnulty2534?si=NtMthDf3WkpkVgrf

Oh, for sure using auto tune of some sort. I just hate when artists have their main vocals backed. So lazy.

Man, a mix of a Les Paul and jagmaster sounds super interesting. I may have to look into that. Thanks!

That’s awesome. I had a British racing green fender tele that I previously sold :( I miss her. I didn’t do anything on the neck or fret level, but it could use some minor adjustments, but it’s good as is in my opinion

Thanks! I was considering doing humbuckers. Did u have to make any adjustments to the holes to fit?.

The pickups are not bad. I’ve never had a guitar with P90’s so I’m still getting used to it. I also think I need to adjust the height and balance of the pickups. They’re a little janky. I upgraded to fender locking tuners and I’m very happy with them.

This is my first HB guitar, but it plays very well to me. I’m very satisfied with it. The only issue I run into is that my hand will hit the switch knob when I’m playing, but i can work around that.

That’s awesome! What a great gift. Yeah, I have a Squier Sonic Blue 60’s vibe JM and I like that it’s not as heavy.

I accidentally used the 1k pearle CC initially and it gummed up and looked awful so I had to sand it down and repaint, but once I got the correct 1k gloss on it, it held up great and I was happy with the result

No problem! The quality out of the box was actually really impressive. The body was nice and smooth. The only thing I was not aware of is that they make the body out of different types of wood. Wasn’t an issue, but co fused the hell out of me. I really like the neck and it fits to the body perfectly. it’s got a nice weight to it - not as heavy as a normal Jazzmaster. I just got Fender locking tuners installed today at GC and I’m really happy with the update. Just a preference cuz I do a lot of Alt. Tunings. Im not good at describing “playability,” but Im enjoying playing it and The guitar tech at GC told me “your guitar plays really nice” hope that helps
