Fender Jazzmaster Japan

Fender '62 Jazzmaster Japan ReissuePublished on 03/01/04 at 15:00
I bought this guitar in a swedish musicgear shop. This guitar became my first one and i don´t regret a single penny of it. It cost me approx. 800$.

Excuse my english. I´m from sweden.

This guitar has just the things i was looking for when i was looking for a guitar. Superb sound, easily played and it feels awsome. It has three pickups which there is a three way switch for and one wolume- and one tone knob. It also has a another switch which you select lead or rythm soundlike sound. If you put this switch down you control the guitar with the three way switch. In this case you have(if want to) three diffrent solo sounds. If you put i upwards you get a more lofi and soft sound with a...…

If you put this switch down you control the guitar with the three way switch. In this case you have(if want to) three diffrent solo sounds. If you put i upwards you get a more lofi and soft sound with a little less voulume,which is ment to be a rythm sound. But I like just as much i leadplaying. The "Lead & rythm" button also has one volume- and one tone knob. This guitar is great for almost any music but i wouldn´t recommend it to metal. I play blues,jazz,pop and rock and it works perfect. It doesn´t matter how hard I play it still stays in tune.

Not much. It´s hard to get my tremoloarm to stay in place. But I don´t use that much. Had some problems with the neck before a bought it so I had it repalced.
THE ORIGINAL BRIDGE SUCKS. Replace it with a Mustang bridge or buy an buzzstop.

It´s a Fender. Do I need to say more.
Great quality except the tremoloarm. I dón´t bother do something about it...

I Love this guitar. Looks, feels and sounds great if you ask me. Dispite the dislikes i have to give it a top rating!

The Fender Jazzmaster Reissue Japan is an electric guitar that has been made in a number of different years.  The one that I have used is a 1996 reissue and is pretty much exactly the same as its predecessor as I have used both models.  The guitar has two soap box style pick ups along with a tone and volume knob and unique tone volume sliders.  It also has a standard pick up switch and also has a whammy bar.

Using the Japanese Fender Jazzmaster Reissue isn't hard as everything is pretty easy to understand.  If you have any experience with electric guitars I don't think you'll have a problem controlling your sound.  This being said, there is more going on here than on most electric...…

Using the Japanese Fender Jazzmaster Reissue isn't hard as everything is pretty easy to understand.  If you have any experience with electric guitars I don't think you'll have a problem controlling your sound.  This being said, there is more going on here than on most electric guitars.  The neck of the guitar is one of the best feeling that I have ever played on.  It has a fluid feel and it is the type of guitar that makes you always want to come back for more.  The shape of the guitar is unique and is overall beautifully designed in terms of its look...

The Fender Jazzmaster Japanese Reissue is one of, if not the most versatile electric guitar that I have used.  The amount of varying tones that I find possible with this guitar is outstanding.  Since you have two tone parameters and two volumes, you can adjust them in a variety of ways to get all sorts of tones.  I use the guitar primarily with a '76 Fender Twin Reverb but have used it with a variety of amps and I find that it works best with a tube amp.  A main reason for this is because you can get some killer overdrive with a tube amp when you turn up both up the volume all the way.

I've now been using the Fender Jazzmaster Reissue Japanese version for quite some time and I can't say a bad thing about this guitar.  Not only is it one of the easiest guitars to play that I have tried, the tone is also outstanding.  It also has one of the coolest looking designs that I've seen.  Needless to say, I love this guitar through and through and it is one that I would highly recommend.

This Fender Jazzmaster was made in Japan and the particular guitar I have was made in 1980. It has 24 frets and two soap box style picks ups. It has knobs for tone and volume and has a switch for pick up selection. It also has a bright switch and two wheels that also change the tone. It has a tremolo bar as well.

The feel of this guitar is fluid and the action is quite low, which makes it really easy to play all around the neck. It isn't the lightest guitar in the world, but is light enough and easy to carry. It has an awesome look and overall shape to it and the overall tone is versatile and vibrant.

While this guitar is called a Jazzmaster, I've never actually used it for jazz music. I have used it mostly for pop and rock. This being said, it would definitley work well with jazz and a number of different genres as it has a great overall tone and is suitable for a variety of applications. The clean sound is great - I usually use it with a '76 Fender Twin Reverb and the sound is crisp and quite vibrant. I also use it with a bit of overdrive, but have found that this guitar isn't best for heavy distortion.

The Fender Jazzmaster is one of my favorite guitars as it feels great to play and also sounds awesome. All of the controls it has on the body allow you to alter the sound in a number of ways and you can get a variety of sounds with it. The price is pretty reasonable if you can get one used and won't break the bank at all. Overall, my favorite part of this guitar is the neck and is really feels great. Fender makes arguably the best guitars in the world and this model is a prime example.

I played Strats on here before and I'm really in another world! The two guitars are very different and each has a charm but I much prefer the jazz ...

Quality / price ratio normal ... (I ordered mine in left in Japan and got 820 euro for envy)

I would do without this choice Heist!
