Four Winds 51 Offset FLAME MAPLE*SPANISH CEDAR HH Hardtail Guitar Body *USA Made*Fits Jazzmaster Neck

Welcome to the Four Winds Lutherie shop offering precision CNC machined necks and bodies backed by over 25 years of hand building and repair experience

Looking for something different but not totally off the wall? Offered here is my original design streamlined and downsized Model 51 Offset contoured hardtail body routed for 2 Humbuckers.  It's a Flame Maple top with a lightweight 2 piece Spanish Cedar core.  Weighs 3.8 lbs. 

*First 3 photos show the top wet with naphtha (solvent) to give an idea what the figure will look like after finish is applied.*

It includes choice of 3 ply Black / Matte black or Cream 1 ply pickguard and control covers.  Check my store for my compatible drop in wiring harness

Like all my bodies, pickguards, and cover plates it's 100% CNC made in house in Red Bank, NJ USA.*

 ..A simple write up of these specs is in the main photos or scroll down here..

This body will work with any Fender or compatible 25-1/2" scale Strat or Jazzmaster style neck, standard 4 bolt neck plate, and popular 2-1/16" narrow spaced hardtail bridges.  It's drilled for the Hipshot 41060 three hole bridge.

 I do rout my neck pockets right on 2-3/16" wide with very tight tolerance so necks fit snug. If your neck measures much more than 2.1875" wide at the heel with calipers, you may need to sand the neck or the pocket for proper fit.  This is by design.

 Pickup routs are neck 3/4" deep.  

 You will need to drill holes for strap buttons.  Everything else is done. All wire channels are routed or drilled.

Sanded to 220g all around and ready for finish. If you are applying oil, dye, or stain directly to the wood I recommended raising the grain and sanding to 320g.  

I can also offer Seymour Duncan, Mojotone, and Lindy Fralin pickups ordered on demand subject to availability. Message me for more details..
