The Fender Jazzmaster is an electric guitar that was first introduced at the 1958 NAMM Show and was designed as a more upmarket instrument than the Fender Stratocaster, which was originally to replace the Telecaster model. As its name indicates, it was initially marketed at jazz guitarists but was more commonly played by surf rock guitarists in ...
Yep, serial offset offender right here! It's a J Mascis Squier jazzmaster. I use it primarily for a covers band I'm part of. I've tweaked it a little. Changed the pot values of the lead circuit and beefed up the tone caps. Flatwound 12's, 43mm nut and a nice chunky neck.

The neck sounded pretty smooth without getting muddy very easily. The middle position was glassy and plucky sounding - kind of like the middle position on a guitar with two P90s, but not as glassy and sparkly as a normal Tele. The bridge pickup was pretty articulate when driven, at least compared to a typical 'bucker.
It would be very difficult to do a better shielding job than this Jazzmaster. I'd say that radio transmissions, light dimmers, fluorescent lighting and most RFI sources would be effectively suppressed. Without installing humbucking pickups, however, one would have to live with magnetic interference.
151. Just finished my Jazzmaster made for Jazz. It has a Fralin P90 in the neck position as I nixed the two humbuckers that originally came with the guitar. Also has a new pickguard made for the single pickup, I also nixed the pickup toggle switch. All pots and caps have been upgraded to give a warmer sound along with the brass saddles, new ...
The Jazzmaster was Leo Fender's attempt to take some of the Jazz guitar market away from Gibson and everything, well almost everything, about the guitar was for that purpose. The offset body shape was to make it more comfortable to play while seated, as all jazz guitarists play while seated.
Age. 53. Location. Columbia, SC. Ivyjane said: To solve the sinking issue with the stock bridge, you can use thread locker, like loktight blue (don't use red) or teflon tape on the threads of the bridge. In the long run, I've replaced both of the bridges in my Fender Jag, and Squire CV Jag, with the Mastery Bridge.
Although the Jazzmaster pickups look like clones of the Gibson P90 and thereby imply a similar tone, I don't think that they do sound the same. I only had a few minutes once to try a Jazzmaster plugged in and that was my impression. All that aside, the Jaguar and Jazz Master are really comfortable guitars.
And now we get to the warning part of my review; string retention and the electronics. The Acoustasonic uses a standard acoustic bridge pin retention for the strings. On a standard acoustic, if you break a string and the ball end falls into the guitar, you can normally shake out the ball end through the sound hole.
