New Kit Build! This one is going to be a lot of fun :)

[jeffames]

Mahogany body & neck! The transparent color possibilities are endless. Can't wait to see the finished kit!

[zaidayala]

I love the jazzmaster sooo damn much! I dream of having Jim Root's signature jazzmaster, it's so simple and good looking

[micheltremblay]

I really think you do the best guitar build. I can't wait for the final sound tests. Thanks.

Necks and neck pockets usually have a slight taper (wide heel, narrow nut). Fit the neck from the top (heel aligned) rather than in from the front to avoid loosening the fit or potential pocket split.

Nice i have such a box lying in my room for ages now. This will probably make me finally built it.

[Ndlanding]

It felt like Christmas while you were opening up al the packages! I enjoyed it, and there were no socks.

[dennisblaney]

this is my favorite guitar shape. I am absolutely in love with my JM. can't wait to see how this pans out.

[danksenpai]

I'm so hyped. Jazzmaster was always my guitar of choice every time I went to a guitar center but then the Meteora model appeared and oh boy. I'm so excited to see how it progresses through the time 🤤🔥

[barbmelle]

From Leo: Great choice on a build model. Looking forward to it. I have used a tuneomatic bridge on a Jazzmaster. I ended up switching to a Wilkenson roller style.

[timcastle]

I’m glued to this build! Always wondered about how the Jazzmaster trem system works and how it is set up!

[Hectorheroic]

Whoooeee I can't wait for this one! Your channel is better than anything on Australia television. Love your work Darrell!

Lots of fun! I remember playing Elterphew J Dunpherwingle’s Jazzmaster. It had its own set of working eyes and thumb tips as wide as the Pacific...

[futureisscary]

Just got to love Darrell's enthusiasm, always smiling and loving life! Just a great person to watch and learn from. Thanks from a newbie tryng to learn to play.

[JunkfoodZombieGuns]

The only thing that really sucks about this video is having to wait for part two!

[mikewhitfield]

Great project! Sooo glad you picked such an iconic and cool Fender kit. I look forward to watching the build and seeing your choice of finish. Thanks! Glad for Solo too, they were not on my radar. I’ll check them out.

[PosemasterGeneral]

Interesting timing on this. I just spoke with a friend today about being curious to see what would go into building a kit. I'm very glad that you're doing this. Can't wait.

[rayschoch]

This should be fun! I have an Eastwood with a Jazzmaster-style trem, and I'm looking forward to seeing how that trem style is put together and works.

[kathrynhobbs]

Hey Darrell, I can't wait for this one. I've been looking for a jazzmaster kit so your timing is perfect. Thanks for such a great site. Your doing us canucks proud! Take her easy and keep the great content coming!!!

[Allottedaaron]

I have looked at these guitar kits so many times but convinced myself they wouldn't be high quality, so I am watching this very closely. You definitely have my attention.
