My 1st project build

[robert43]

Hi all here are a couple of pictures of my 1 st project build the body is a Eden Jazz neck Mitey Mite neck , GFS pickups .
The body is finished with Danish oil 8 coats .
I am 50/50 about putting a pickgaurd on it or not .
What do you people think I am looking to get the look of a 62 Jazz ( same age as me )
I am also thinking of putting a bridge / pickup covers
If I put a pickgard what do recond Tort ,black or white

that is one nice lookin' jazz robby, a tortoiseshell or a three ply white would look great, but the black on the second pic looks good too!

Looks really nice. Good job! I would definitely go with a PG.

It does look nice!

I like the pick guard as well...

Thats sweet robert43:AOK: I like it with the pickguard in black and I would also give a layered solid white a chance too.

Very nice indeed!

2) where did you get that neck and how much did it cost?

Pie man 25 & others
you have made my day thanks
the neck I got from ebay off guitar shop 7 it cost $90 + postage ( my reason I went he charges $15 to Australia where others want $50 it cost $16 but he is slow took about 6 weeks should take 1 week & wont answer emails ) on the postive about this bloke he is honest . I am thinking of buying a nother neck all maple, as I want to do the same to a P bass next year.
Will keep you posted with pictures etc
