# 18 - Offset Body Build Finally Together

Recommended Posts

this one has been a bit of a departure from my usual builds - it has taken a while - building in a busy repair & service workshop has its challenges

i only get to my builds when the pressure is off and these days that time is becoming harder to find

i always loved offset bodies, trems and humbuckers so this one has all 3 of those features

it is based on the jazzmaster / surfcaster type of shape but a bit smaller - it is quite a small guitar - bright and punchy tone
