Let’s see those offset guitars!

I’ll go first. This is the Lovemaster HAL 9000.
(I’ve never actually called it that. It’s just the Lovemaster.)

Warmoth swamp ash body and roasted maple neck with rosewood fretboard. Hipshot locking tuners. A pair of Kinman P90’s I bought used that I’ve been looking for the right guitar for.

I painted it Dupli-color stone white, which is a Chrysler color.

It’s heavier than I like, but I’m heavier than it likes, so it’s a wash.

GRB Kokocaster in Greenburst, Charvel Surfcaster Bass, Charvel Surfcaster Acoustic

This is the most recent offset acquisition, I think

I am in the process of thinning the herd, wondering what guitar should I buy to go with my tele AV52. Well, this thread is giving me a lot of ideas!

Nice guitars everyone!

Oof. Classy.

 

[hemingway]

Bits from all over, Tonerider pickups, Mighty Mite V neck, which is supremely nice to play.

Paint mistakes by time and me.

24 fret neck JM I built from scratch.

 

[SixStringSlinger]

My Squier Vintage Modified Jazzmaster.

Completely re-wired (in part as a project to learn guitar wiring/soldering) with Fender Pure Vintage ‘65 pickups and 250k pots (things still get crazy bright on 10 but the tone knob has a nice sweep). I also modded the rhythm circuit to work on all pickup switch settings rather than automatically defaulting to the neck.

I replaced the trem with an AVRI unit so it could have the lock. I also put a Mastery bridge on, but I’m currently waiting on a Staytrem for a more “authentic” (but not infuriating) Jazzmaster experience.

There are also some aesthetic touches like a Mastery string tree (for visual continuity), mint green pickguard (the stock white made the Sonic Blue look nauseous green) and witch hat knobs darkened with coffee.

EDIT: Here’s the wiring, just because I’m proud.

This is from when I had a Novak gold foil in the bridge position. There’s a crappy join on the lead tone pot that eventually failed and had to be re-done.

I have a few but this old modified Splendor by Hitachi is the favorite.

OOF! An IYV I haven’t seen. Hope that one doesn’t turn up in Canada when I’m getting That Feeling… I don’t have space for more.

really I rate it pretty much a novelty. The acoustic sounds from the pickup hidden in the bridge are surprisingly fine, the electric sounds are on the harsh/brittle side of things

My Suhr Classic JM with Thornbucker pickups + Mastery Trem & Olympic White Mod Shop Jaguar.

Well, some would rate me as pretty much a novelty, so right up my alley then…

Anyway, here’s my offset. IYV Mustang-ish with custom Bootstrap pickups. Not my #1, but a really solid #2.
