Finally found a Squier Mascis Jazzmaster

[dubkitty]

yup. if you wanted one of the purple sparkly Fender JMJMs, you're shit out of luck now unless you look on eBay. gather ye Rosebuds while ye may, if you get my drift.

[huggernaut]

There's apparently some rumor flying around that these are discontinued already. Hmm.

[madmax1012]

i think if the guitar wasn't white, the gold would look awesome. for example...




total sex.

Matching headstock would have made the color choice AOK.

The guitar is perfect.

White = Best color choice

Shit. I really want one fo those. Even more than the "new series" this summer. BEcause it has a usable bridge. NOt the best bridge, but a useable one.

[dubkitty]

i'm telling you, they rule straight off the shelf. i've played a dead stock one that was BETTER than one i A/Bed with Novaks in. if i wanted a Jazzmaster i'd be all over it like it was Rachel from Slowdive.

[rfurtkamp]

Yeah, there's nothing to change functionally on this model at all unless you *had* to have the trem lock, and that's a $30 part.

It's sort of the Model T of guitars: any color you want as long as it's white and gold, but nothing wrong with it at all.

Thanks to rfurtkamp's review and my own Gas i bought One that came in today.
I'm pretty blown away: everything is perfect, setup, sound, intonation, strings, finish and playability. I only tuned it and then rocked out two hours with my buddy. It has a Bit more of a Tele snap than my Two cij mascis but that's all i hear. I asume it comes from the Tremolo that is a Bit closer to the bridge.
Super happy that i pulled the trigger finally on that one.

[rfurtkamp]

Glad you're happy, I still have and like mine 6 months or so later, even if it didn't stop me from grabbing Squier VM Jaguar 2012s and a Squier Mustang to go with it!

Trem is in fact closer to the bridge on the Mascis but not the VMs, and will accomodate a Roland synth pickup control bulb on the rear strap post (and the pickup itself on a LP-bridge mount). Regular Squier VMs won't, nor will any of the AVRIs (or real vintage) except the 50th special edition.
