    This item is made to order

    Great copy from an original 1960's JB. Includes authentic router hump which was present until 1964, after that there was no router hump. All routs are as per the vintage specification even the brass earth strip (see photographs) (brass not supplied). If you are looking to build an authentic JB this is the body you want!
