I really dont see why Fender doesn't make more Cherrybursts, and why more company's dont make Honeyburst.
Music Man knows how to make a mean Honeyburst, and bursts in general.

Just curious, but what quality is that top? (as in AA, AAA, etc.)
Oh yeah, and is that fingerboard just a nice peice of Rosewood?
It's absolutely stunning.
How about the Dingwall version. Fanned frets and all.....
take a little vintage and make it modern

Not really actually. I also hear people saying defretting blocked necks is a bad idea, including my teacher. He's even telling me to refret, but it really sounds great. I've compared it to the Customshop Jaco Relic Jazz and it's in my opinion not beaten by that. And besides, I don't want to put the binding through another neck-job. I think if I would it's gonna come lose or break completely.freshmeat1989 said:Nice man!
I have a question though. When playing on the blocks, since it's defretted, do you get a different tone or sound? I've heard different opinions on this and got a little curious about yours. Thanks man!
It wasn't my choice to have it defretted by the way, I bought it like this and just replaced the pots because they were a bit 'dodgy' and the pickups were soldered wrong:
Humming when I touched the poles. But that's taken care of now aswell.
It's a beautiful fretless, looks and feels 'old' and 'vintage' and I'm keeping it like that
Another pic of me playing it:
sorry bout the 'looking-like-i-have-to-cr&p-look'
but I was really feelin' that Jam. ska tune

Nice man! Original or cover?
My latest, a MIA '98 Jazz V, mirror p/g and chrome knobs (thanks to Nino for the inspiration ).
