Post your first guitar of 2023!

Next build components waiting in the wings…just waiting to find out where the hell my pickups are, lost in USPS limbo. 😠

Body is swamp ash over chambered alder - super light! Double bound and finished in a thin nitro 3 burst. Almost too thin as there’s some visible sinking into the grain but I’m not complaining. I took a chance on it and wasn’t expecting too much as it was very inexpensive, but I’m pleasantly surprised. Neck pocket needs a tiny bit of shaping and it will be a nice snug fit.

I might change the switch tip out for a cream top hat… 🤔

Well....this was the first one...which was even better than mint with literally no playwear, if there is such a classification:

Holy hell, do I ever love playing these guitars!

These are my only 2.

I sold off 3 of my J Customs and with one more very rare one to sell and a couple of Ibanez Pia's going up for sale, one really rare right now as well.
