Jazzmaster + p90 question

[SweetOblivion]

Hello! this is my first thread ever!

 

So I've been thinking about selling one of my strats to fund a new guitar. More specificaly, a new guitar with p90s since I dont own one yet.

 

Was originally looking at the SG with p90s but its alot more than Im willing to spend and I've never been too crazy about the feel of an SG. I've always thought a Jazzmaster looked really cool and the pickups looked like they might be able to be switched out with minimal modifying to the guitar.

 

This lead me to look for a cheap jazzmaster I could mod, but to my dismay, it doesnt look like that exists.

 

So I guess my real question is, did fender ever make a mim jazzmaster that Im overlooking or is my only option to build one from warmoth or whoever. Is the dream already dead???? Are there any good midpriced guitars with p90s that you know of?

A. No, Fender has never released a Mexican Jazzmaster.
B. Jazzmaster pickups are not P90s, they're single coils. All P90s are single coils, but not all single coils are P90s; just like all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.
C. Your best bet is a cheap MIJ Jazzmaster from eBay or Craigslist. If you need to buy it retail, buy it from http://www.isibashi.co.jp

if it's just the look of the Jazzmaster that you're after (not the tone) and you don't want to spend a lot of money, you could get a Squire Jagmaster (about $250 new) and swap out the pups for hum sized P-90s:
