I made a post about a month ago about building a Jazzmaster from scratch for my first guitar but instead decided to take everyone’s advice to hunt down a used J Mascis Jazzmaster.

This one popped up on FB marketplace today for $450. I offered $400 and they accepted.

The guitar is brand new, never been played, and still has the plastic wrap on the pickups and trem. Absolutely mint. It also came with the stand and a generic fender strap. Serial number is from October 2025.

How’d I do for $400?

Looking to build a Jazzmaster over the next year. Am I missing anything on my parts list? Any recommendations?

I’ve never built a guitar and I don’t even know how to play, so I figure the best way to learn and be committed is by starting with assembling and finishing my own from scratch.

Southern Maine. Are these lobsters and chanterelles?

Tons of oyster mushrooms fruiting right now in southern Maine. Yum!
