Johnny Jr Project/Build

[Wattage]

Had a friend make me a Ventures II/Johnny Ramone style body routed and drilled ala a Junior hence Johnny Jr.

Alder body and a maple neck with some kind of rosewood adjacent fretboard.

It's been sitting here for a while mostly out of laziness but I decided to start on it. Shouldn't take a whole lot to put it together. Doing a very rat rod finish out on it. Oil finish on the neck with a painted headstock and a Lil Daddy Roth rattlebomb finish. Probably 2k clear but maybe lacquer we'll see?

Well here it is naked anyways

well since I have you all on the edge of your seats lol

A bit of an update

Have a set of Wilkinson white button tuners, a good nut blank and a GFS P90 that I found in the parts bin. Using 500k pots and a .022 OD cap, a Switchcraft jack and Planet Waves strap pins. I also have a Faber compensated tailpiece that I am hoping will work, posts are offset enough I might use a regular tailpiece, I also have a Wilkinson wraparound here if I need it.

Just need a little more finishing work on it but you can get the general idea. I used Lil Daddy Roth Avalanche White base and Jazz Berry Pink Vunderbomb with Silver Flake as well.
