By way of update. Back from @Danielsguitars with the logo added to a perfectly aged headstock. Aged Lava guard is on, and beaten to f*** witchhats added. Tuffset bridge due tomorrow, so that’ll be this one ready for anything. Bloody wonderful guitar -thanks again Darren for building such a belter! 

That looks great, really nice meeting you and having a chat, I'm also really glad you liked the pugilist, they need to be played to appreciate them, they're more LP feeling and playing.

The Pugilist was awesome. I would recommend every les Paul player who isn’t a purist to try one, absolutely cracking guitar.

Looks absolutely stunning!

(But please intonate that guitar at some point soon. Looking at the bridge with all the saddles lined up is making me anxious)

That's a perfect Jazzmaster - glad to hear it sounds as good as it looks. HNGD!

It’s only because I know the new bridge arrives tomorrow.

Now that looks killer!  

Offset

It's absolutely immense.

I don’t often say this, but that is absolutely bloody gorgeous.

Aged pink Jazzmaster (alongside aged Pelham or Inverness Green SG Special) is basically life time dream guitar for me.

That's a beauty

Well played sir. You can't go wrong with Lava on a JM and that one looks like it was already a peach of a guitar now made even better  

guitarblaster

Wow I remember that for sale on the forum - great mods to take it next level!

Agreed. Lava guards are great and a huge improvement on a lot of the tort out there. This has definitely been the finishing touch for this one.

And @Tuffset added. Dead easy to intonate and I might be imagining it, but at a quiet 10pm strum it seems more resonant. Looking forward to plugging this in!

Tuffset

Looks awesome!! I'm so glad you found it easy to install and adjust and that is such a cool guitar! I love the checking om the headstock, it looks like porcelain and really ties in the scheme of the guitar so well.

For my part, I find the biggest difference I hear unplugged is that there's just that much more headroom in the string energy it will allow you to impart. Many offset bridges devolve into buzzing and vibration with less than half the string energy the Tuffset can handle! I guess it's because the springs and screws are the first thing to give up when the amplitude is raised.

I very much look forward to hearing your impressions when you plug it in! Thank you sincerely for being part of the launch - day 1 gang!

Cheers,
Dan

Cheers Bill, it is a beauty. As I’ve said in passing to another member -I’ve this and the 345, if I could just persuade you to let that divine olive firebird go, then I am sure my guitar buying journey would finally be over!
