See below.
Made in China or Indonesia, I do not know.
The neck is super nice, quite late (my main point of comparison is the handle of a Telecaster) and is slippery. Access to acute is very easy thanks to its shape. The guitar is light and well balanced. We get very quickly a good sound, a guitar is very "plug and play", there is no unnecessary adjustments to make.
That's really where the guitar blew me away: for the price sounds are really good. I bought it first for its form, then for his humbuckers, thinking to change them directly. I play on a Crate GT212 amp and a lot of effects pedals (see my profile) with a DS-1 and Vox Bulldog for distos. Distortion in the guitar really sends the puree and it has a clear panel sounds very interesting. I play mostly post-rock (so I need a good clean sound), the ambient, electronica and big noisy rock. Sounds right for me in all cases. The original pickups are not too many parasites in large distos. So far I have left the original microphones but I will perhaps one day other for a very very very good guitar. I use almost always in the intermediate position which gives a good amp beautiful clean sounds. I would still like to try once in a small all-tube amp to see.
I've had five months. In fact, I bought this guitar to complement the sounds that I had a Fender Telecaster. Ultimately, I sold the Fender just because the Jagmaster suits me more in terms of comfort, playability, finish (I forgot to mention that the violin and electronics are immaculate except for the selectors moves a little) and of course sound. I do not really expect such a level of a guitar with Squier (I may come across a good number) but I swallowed my prejudices for a moment. I would do the same course choices (especially at 277 euros Thomann ...)
