I play it for 7 months.

I tried other models Squier in the same price range:
- Classic Strat vibe: very faithful to its good reputation but not original forcment (look, sound ...);
- Jaguar vintage modified: the most beautiful, all in chrome. But very difficult to play (the strings that dplacent on the rack ...) and hyper nasal sound;
- Mofified vintage jaguar HH: Almost twin of the Jazzmaster ... but with humbuckers (hyper-biting his hideous). For me, no relation to a jaguar (in addition, even no vibrato: gniale for surf guitar) ...

This model of Jazzmaster is when even very particular:
- No vibrato (why?!?) Nor rglages doubles (which admittedly is not used much), the DIFFERENT knobs (two volume, two tone ...) and locations also DIFFERENT (the switch, the jack in "strat" ​​...) from a classic Jazzmaster;
- Look a little limited, despite a good finish: including the same color as the pickguard pickups: what heresy!

Must admit: the term "vintage modified" is spcieuse. There has never been such a model "original" of the Jazzmaster.

Goodies:
- The quality of its flaws: the extreme simplicity. A hybrid Jazzmaster / Telecaster in short;
- The handle of maple, apparently on INDIT Jazzmaster. These guitars have rput 'of being easy to play, but then the ... a slide, a bend all is: it is paradise;
- Sound: rounder than the Strat, rich and well bite with distortion. These dishes microphones, what an invention! That's what made me to prefer the Jazzmaster classic strat vibe, it said. I want to believe that for once, we are well within the "vintage" in the sense where the sound is warm and returns happily things heard on 60's disk (after, it all depends on the amp).

In conclusion:
Very, good guitar. If I was doing the poking, I rachterais probably the same. I regret even when not being able to try the model with vibrato. But it would not have had the maple handle. I guess it's for reasons of production costs ...

Must therefore say that this is a hybrid Jazzmaster espce. Qualitprix the report is in my imabatable. 300 ... Propose instruments of such a class to small grants (if I may): squier really has a public interest activity!
