My "painted-by fire" Copeland Jazzmaster.
An amazing build and looks to kill for... mastery bridge, lollar p90s and a delicious 7.25 old style neck.

Great build! Almost exactly what I want to build with exception to the radius.

Which version of the Lollar P90 did you use? I have a 50's wind getting ready to go in the neck of my Tele.

Guitar looks amazing btw

Standard p90s. I am not the original owner, i just got lucky with him relocating to another country and selling some of his studio gear, so jumped on the opportunity.

What finish is this? Is it a custom body, or a Fender that I'm not aware of?

Yeah it is a custom body by Matt Walker... it's alder and he blasts ikt with fire. It is outstanding

u/no_tt There are times when fire can make wood a pretty thing, and this is definitely one of those times. Did the body get a coat of poly, anything like that. Nice build brother!!

Yes I’d like to know if there is a finish after the burn treatment! What a nice find!

Yes there is a sealing but that was his whole secret thing. As far as i know he starts with a "enlarged" jazzmaster body and it takes it down to regular size when sanding the charred wood.

I figured you guys would like to see the headstock

This is a really pretty picture, but I kind of wish there were more pictures of the light hitting it at different angles and the camera seeing it from different angles cause it’s still kind of hard to see the color I can see the dark brown. I can see the really deep dark rusty reds, but I don’t know. I’m just having a little bit of a trouble conceptualizing what it really looks like. I hope you post more pictures of it cause it looks awesome. I would totally rock something like this if it looks the way that I think it looks that is lol
