Really enjoyed this 2 part build. Attention to detail and sand sand sand, but we both know. The result is only as good as the preparation and your prep is top notch KB. Great relic techniques, thanks, just added a few to my book of favorites. Never really was keen on this body shape. But, your build has given me a new appreciation and I think it looks absolutely wicked! Love the cts pots, and the oil filled cap, switch craft jack. Can't go wrong with what works so well. Sounds excellent, and looks like it is easy play. The name of this build should be Krelic Master as it is a heavy relic Jazz Master design made by Kris Barocsi. Don't be humble, Krelic Master is definitely worth being on a Barocsi custom. After thoughts, Krelicaster or Relicaster have a nice ring to them. You are donating it for the cause. Sounds cool KB, cheers!

Going through the process gives insight what is involved in building a guitar and why some choices are made. Imagine building a guitar from scratch, with only pieces of raw wood! That would easily double your build time. Diy build Is also good for realising and appreciating the skills involved with ready made guitars like Harley Benton or Vintage at an affordable price. Have you calculated what your hour salary would have been for this project? Looking back, would you say the hidden cost factor is paint? Kudos for the attention for quality and documenting it on camera, Kris! I remember Andy staining his Les Paul, a rollercoaster of hope and despair!

Great work! Funnily I also did the JA kit in Pelham Blue. Some tips for the weather checking. Use a hair dryer or heat gun to warm up the guitar first and then shoot it with the cold spray. Nitro checks because of harsh temperature changes. So heating it up and then cooling it drastically brings the best results. Second tip: cold spray is quite expensive. You can use canned air and shoot it with the can upside down. Same effect. And a minor correction: there are no ground loops in guitars with passive electronics as there is just one ground (the output jack). But the idea of using copper tape as ground wire is a great one!
