Finally found a Squier Mascis Jazzmaster

[Zounds Perspex]

cool. I just got my modded/upgraded Squier JMJM yesterday - cool guit. The Pickup Wizards sound greeeeat. I don't think it's going to replace my '65 in my heart any time soon, but it's a nice guit.

another pic!

Looks nice with the changed pickguard et al; I'm figuring out what to do to mine if it passes muster.

I haven't decorated or done cosmetic things to a guitar in ages, and it's time.

Gotta find me somebody who will make me a Squier Jazzfuckingmaster decal.

cool. Tym pretty thoroughly reviews this guy here, if you haven't seen it- http://www.tymguitars.com.au/?p=6029

and here's a link to a thread made by the dude that modded mine, if you want to change any pickups/hardware - some cool tips - http://www.offsetguitars.com/forums/vie ... =6&t=55717

and I for one don't like the new gold pickguards - love the 50's Jazzmaster gold ones, but these just don't have that same...something. ymmv, of course.

They probably don't have enough age on the guards for you. Try to taking the guard off and giving it an unbuffed, matte-ish coating of some lightly tinted lacquer or some such.

that might work. they're definitely too shiny and too yellow-ish. that said...mint guard works great for me!

i've seen a picture of one with a tortoise guard that was tres sexxxxxay.

I need a pickguard that expresses the profound suffering of the workers. ;0

[dubkitty]

you could just slap a Rage Against The Machine sticker on the one you've already got

I'm thinking a leather pickguard. You can have "The skin off our backs" burned into it...

[dubkitty]

...or have the name of your crime carved into it.

Ëngraved mother of hazardous waste container, with "I already own six instruments, I made you suffer for nothing" is a leading contender right now as I wait for the Fexex guy.

I was lucky enough to get one of the first batch back in December. I absolutely LOVE this guitar. I haven't touched anything else (LP's, Strat, Riviera) since I got it. It plays great right out of the box.

i second that whole, not liking of the gold pickguard. maybe it's the gold on white, but i'd totally replace that shit

Wow really? I love the classic gold on white motif.
